Frye ups season high : Just a few days after setting a season-high 19 points, Phoenix forward Channing Frye decided to one-up himself. He scored a season-high 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds on Thursday night against the Rockets. Frye saw 42 minutes of action for Phoenix and shot 8 for 17 from the field -- going 4 for 9 from beyond the 3-point arc. He also had one assist, two blocks and two steals for the Suns. His efforts would not be enough though as the Rockets would win the game, 96-89. (Updated 02/10/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Frye has been very inconsistent this season, but his coach has rearranged the rotation more times than anyone can keep up with. Frye has scored in double figures in three straight games and is averaging 12.8 points over his last five outings. He's also shooting 33.3 percent from downtown over that span. Frye is still more of a Rotisserie forward option because of his inconsistency, but if he can keep up this kind of production he'd warrant attention in deeper head-to-head leagues.

Channing Frye is coming off a career season in many aspects and, at 28 years of age, could be able to improve upon his numbers. Frye has bounced around as a center and a power forward, but the Suns finally settled on him as a power-forward only player last year and it paid off. A big man (6-11) with a solid mid-to-long range game, Frye can play his best facing the basket and starting from the wing. He is among the premiere 3-point shooters in the game right now, regardless of position, fourth in 3-pointers made last season with 176. That alone provides a huge boost to his value in category play and when you consider the fact he is eligible at center in leagues that allow for multiple positions it makes him that much more desirable as a player to target in the middle rounds. Frye won't give you the numbers most owners seek from big men. The 6.6 rebounds he averaged last year were a career high and his field-goal percentage is low considering his lower percentage shot arsenal, so Fantasy owners who decide to go with Frye in the middle rounds on Draft Day are advised to make up for these deficits elsewhere.
