KD has no opponent when it comes to fantasy basketball performance. Although he is still considered as the second best player in the NBA, trailing LeBron James, he is the best fantasy option. He is averaging 31.0 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 5.3 APG and 51.3 FG%.
No.2: LeBron James
The King ranks second simply because KD is playing in a whole different, special level. Nonetheless, James is still a superb fantasy player, averaging 26.3 PPG, 6.9 RPG and 6.6 APG, while shooting an astonishing 57.7 percent from the floor.
No.3: Stephen Curry
Curry has emerged as a candidate for the MVP award of the regular season, after not even getting selected for the All-Star Game last season. The sharpshooting guard is averaging 24.5 PPG, 9.1 APG, 45.8 FG% and 40.6 3P%. He certainly is a superb fantasy player.
