He continues to be a do-it-all player for the Sabres and is having his most productive season yet while averaging over 20 minutes a game as a forward.

It's been a good year for O'Reilly, who has 34 points in 40 games. Though the Sabres still aren't a playoff team yet, their defense has been noticeably better, and part of that has been his strong two-way play. He's playing more than he ever has, averaging close to 22 minutes per game. At this pace, he'll best last year's totals easily. He's worth owning in all fantasy leagues.
