Notes:
- With FanDuel making the change to 1.2 points for rebounds and 1.5 for assists this season, every major DFS site now rewards all around play more than pure scoring. For this reason, you can see why Paul George was a better fantasy player, on every site, than Carmelo Anthony last season.
- FantasyFeud’s 1.75 points per assist make point guards incredibly valuable.
- 3 point bonuses on DraftDay, DraftKings and FanThrowDown should be taken into account, even if small. Those few extra points go a long way, so invest in shooters with confidence.
- DraftStreet has the lowest scoring across the board, because it’s the only site that deducts for missed field goals. When playing there, be sure to find efficient big men who can pick up a ton of rebounds and shoot a high percentage of their shots inside the paint.
