Chris Paul - PG, Phoenix SunsOne of the most frustrating situations in fantasy basketball has to be with Chris Paul. The conspiracy theorist in me figured that Paul would return during the Suns' upcoming four-game road trip.

But for the season, Maxey is 66th in per-game value and 151st in total value after missing a few weeks. Maxey was a top-50 player before getting injured, and fantasy managers would net the most in return by packaging him with a healthy player.
