While there was no shortage of fantasy managers who believed that Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson was ready to take another step in his development, how many expected him to provide first-round value? Based on the Yahoo! ADP of 25, not many. However, Johnson has played to that level thus far, and he's a big reason why Atlanta has gone 7-2 since losing Trae Young to a knee injury.

In the eight games he's played since the Hawks' starting point guard went down in an October 29 win over the Nets, Johnson has averaged 22.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.5 three-pointers while shooting 59.1 percent from the field and 77.5 percent from the foul line. Simply put, he has been one of the best performers in the NBA in November, and the fantasy value reflects that.

As a result, Johnson has vaulted into first-round territory in the latest rankings, and there's no denying his ability to maintain that production level even after Young returns. Also exceeding fantasy expectations thus far has been Wizards forward/center Alex Sarr, who has played at a top-25 level for his rebuilding franchise. The efficiency issues of his rookie campaign are in the rear-view mirror, much to the delight of the Wizards and the fantasy managers who have him rostered.

Below are the updated top-200 rankings. Clippers guard Bradley Beal is no longer ranked due to his season-ending hip injury. Also, it's possible that Lakers forward LeBron James will make his first appearance next week, while 76ers forward Paul George will play in his first game on Monday against the Clippers.
