O'Neale signed a four-year, $44 million deal to return to the Suns in the offseason, and while he's expected to be a valuable on-court contributor for Phoenix, his role off the bench will limit his fantasy upside considerably. The Suns already feature three high-usage players in Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley, meaning whoever starts in the other forward spot -- as Jusuf Nurkic is entrenched at center -- will probably be relegated to a spot-up shooting role on offense. The Suns already have one of the best long-range shooters in the league in Grayson Allen, so O'Neale, who is an above-average three-and-D player in his own range, seems set to play off the bench. Given he's never averaged more than 9.0 points per game nor made more than 39 percent of his threes in any of his previous seven seasons in the NBA, O'Neale seems to be the typical example of a player whose on-court value surpasses his fantasy upside by a sizable margin. O'Neale could still have value in deep formats, and he might be a valuable streaming alternative in case Allen or Durant are forced to miss time, but at full strength, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy value in most formats.
