3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 10/31/16
Chris Paul has big upside in a matchup against an uptempo Suns team. What other high-priced options should you target?

Chris Paul, PG, Los Angeles Clippers

FanDuel Price: $9,300

While his fantasy upside isn't as awe-inspiring as the top point guards such as Russell Westbrook and Steph Curry, Chris Paul is quietly an outstanding fantasy producer himself, having averaged 40-plus FanDuel points per game in four of his five seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers.

In a slate that is a little bit lacking in terms of high-priced options, Paul draws what may be the best possible fantasy matchup for a point guard. Last season, the Phoenix Suns played at the league's third-fastest pace, sported the league's sixth-worst defensive rating, turned the ball over at the league's highest rate, and allowed the most fantasy points to opposing point guards.

The pace and poor defense will give Paul plenty of opportunities to rack up points and assists, and the ugly turnover rate gives a nice boost to his value, as he has finished top-five in steals per game for almost a decade now.
