2025 Fantasy Outlook
James is set to return to the Premier League with Leeds United after he scored 12 times and added nine assists last season in the Championship. It's encouraging production in the second tier, but James has previously shown an inability to produce near the same output in the Premier League. The winger has improved during his time with Leeds United and will get plenty of chances in the starting XI, but a loss of set pieces last season won't help in production. He might be most likely to hit 10 goal contributions for Leeds, but anything more than that would be surprising.
Trains, possibility Saturday
James (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Some good news with Daniel James, so progress with his rehab. Yesterday was the first time he joined us in team training, and he has a chance to be involved depending on how his body reacts right now to the load of training, so we will take a late decision with him."
ANALYSIS
James joined the team for training this week and could be an option if deemed fit, as the club waits to see how his body reacts to being back in training. He will then need to pass some testing to be fit, making the attacker a late call for the contest. This is good news for the club, as he started in the first three games of the season and will hope to see that spot again, with Brenden Aaronson as a possible replacement if he is out again or left on the bench.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs could sign him
Tottenham are looking to sign James on loan for the entire 2022-23 season, according to soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
ANALYSIS
Several top sides have kept close tabs on the Wales international this summer, and all signs point toward James leaving Elland Road to play for a Champions League contender. The Spurs have been the most active side on his pursuit and should be treated as front-runners to land his services.
