... but that production has come in bunches. His Fantasy owners know he’s inconsistent, raking in 10-plus points in 13 of 32 games (40.6 percent). Of those 13 games, 10 have been for 15-plus points, but he’s also soured for seven or fewer points 12 times in that same span. He’s specifically benefitted from his surroundings.
