De'Aaron Fox is a rookie, so it isn't too surprising to see that he's been a real hit-or-miss option. But, lately, his fantasy performances have been landed on one end or the other of a very long spectrum. Over his last six games, the former Kentucky Wildcat has put together three games of 26.2 FanDuel points or more. At the same time, though, he's put up the same number of stinkers, with games of 6.2, 9.2 and 9.2 FanDuel points over that same span.
With his consistency, there's no way to advocate for Fox as a cash-game option. Tournaments are another story.
Tonight, the young floor general draws a high-upside matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Given the Suns' league-worst defense (112.2 defensive rating), the Sacramento Kings have an implied total of 108 points, a feat that they've accomplished just five teams this year. It's worth nothing that -- in those five games -- Fox has put up an average of 0.92 FD points per minute with 28.5 minutes and 26.3 FanDuel points per game and 39.0 in his first matchup with the Suns this season. Feel free to fire those darts.
