1. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors (2015-16)

Values: 1.50 Total/1.34 Per Game/.96 Per 36 Minutes

It would certainly be odd if a non-MVP posted the best fantasy season in recent history, but we don't have to worry about that with Stephen Curry. In 2015, the year in which his Warriors won 73 games, Curry won his second consecutive MVP, but this time, he became the first player to ever do so unanimously. As bonkers as that is, so was Curry's fantasy values across the board. He's the only player to post a per-game value of 1.3 or higher and the only one with a total value of 1.5.

Throughout the course of the season, Curry put up averages of 30.1 points, 5.1 threes and 6.7 assists on the offensive end of the floor. Sure, with 3.3 turnovers per night, Curry's value was negative (-2.17) there, but he had a value of at least 1.9 in the other three categories. His three-point output (4.7 value) had him first in the league by a quite a bit, and even his field goal percentage was highly valued (1.74).

Curry did much more than shoot and score, though. His career-high 2.1 steals and 4.6 rebounds amounted to above-average values, totaling six categories at 1.74 or higher and seven on the positive side of zero.
