2020 Fantasy Outlook
Fall appeared in only seven games for the Celtics in 2019-20. That said, he was named to the G League All-Defensive team last season. Fall currently ranks fourth among centers on the Boston depth chart, and he's well behind last year's starter Daniel Theis, newly signed veteran Tristan Thompson and third-year project Robert Williams. The 7-foot-5 Senegal native most likely will continue to develop his game with the G League Maine Red Claws in 2020-21.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be in line for bigger role?
CBoston Celtics
January 11, 2021
Fall might be ready to receive a larger role in the rotation sooner than later, Jared Weiss of The Athletic writes.
ANALYSIS
Fall could step in as a regular member of the rotation due to the absences the Celtics have suffered in their frontcourt, and his teammates are acknowledging the fact that he seems to be ready for more playing time. "Tacko's gotten better since the first day that he got here," Jaylen Brown said. "He's gotten better. His body has improved. His timing has improved. And he's ready, as you've seen today. He came out, had a great game for us, defended, protected the rim, did everything we asked for, and that was just his first game. I think it's only going to get better the more opportunity he gets." Fall posted four points, eight boards and three blocks off the bench Friday against the Wizards.
