Don't be surprised if ... Philadelphia 76ers PG/SG Tyrese Maxey scores the most fantasy points this seasonPerhaps this does not feel too bold since Maxey exits the All-Star break with this exact honor, having scored 2,804 fantasy points (an average of 53.9 per game). This season, Maxey has really blossomed into a star, though it is relevant to point out that durability is the driving factor in him leading the league in fantasy points. Does this mean fantasy managers in points formats should trade Gilgeous-Alexander, Jokic or Doncic straight up for Maxey? I don't think I could reasonably trade Gilgeous-Alexander or Jokic for Maxey, even though it seems reasonable that Maxey will lead the league in fantasy points. No, we should not expect Tatum to score 50 fantasy points on March 1 ... but we shouldn't bet against it, either.
