James HardenPG, Houston RocketsJames Harden finished the year as the No. 1/2 per-game player in 8/9-cat formats while taking home the crown in both settings on a total value basis.
There's not much left to say about Harden, frankly. He's a machine and is one of the most unstoppable players in the entire NBA. Fantasy GMs love his consistency, and best of all was that the arrival of Russell Westbrook didn't affect The Beard's ability to rack up stats. His rebounds dipped from 6.6 to 6.4 and his assists fell from 7.5 to 7.4, but it was Westbrook whose volume stats took the heaviest hit. Harden, who has always been criticized for his defense, managed 1.7 steals and a career-high 0.9 blocks to boot. Add in league-high marks of 34.4 points and 4.4 3-pointers per game (both somehow decreases from last year), and it's clear that Harden will again be one of fantasy's true elite options moving forward.
