Ben Simmons, PF, Philadelphia 76ers​

Price: $10,500

With a terrific start to his rookie season, Ben Simmons has already established himself as an elite fantasy producer.

He has topped 50 FanDuel points in five of his last eight games (topping 60 in two of those), and only LeBron James has more games of at least 50 FanDuel points in that time. Part of Simmons' fantasy value comes from the workload he's seeing as he's sporting a 24.1% usage rate in 35.8 minutes per game. His strong peripheral production -- 13.6% rebound rate and 31.7% assist rate -- boosts both his floor and ceiling.

Simmons brings those impressive numbers into a great matchup tonight against Phoenix. It's hard to pin down Simmons to a single position, but the Suns are allowing strong fantasy production all over the place (including the league's most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards and power forwards). The Suns combine the league's fastest pace with the league's worst defensive rating. With numbers like that, it's no surprise that the 76ers' 119.25-point implied total is Monday's highest.
