Fantasy hockey rankings Week 6 update: Top five consistent defensemen to add
Hits and blocked shots, however, are less likely to ebb and flow for the non-elite fantasy assets. The same is somewhat true of shots. They are stats that can be collected by a player for fantasy points independent of deployment. Not completely independent, mind you, but to an extent, taking those actions doesn’t rely on […]

With the switch to a points-based default game, and the redesign on the scoring settings, the opportunity presented itself to move to a points-based ranking system as we attempt to forecast how the next few years might play out. Join or create a league in the No. 1 Fantasy Hockey game, and play your way […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 6 update: Top four goalies to trade for
Based on current season fantasy points per 60 minutes (FPP60), games remaining for each club and each goaltender’s timeshare percentage in their team’s crease, only four goaltenders are projected to accumulate more than 100 points from this stage forward. And of those four, fantasy managers could only feel really good about Andrei Vasilevskiy and Semyon […]

Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 5 update: Hold onto Jordan Staal and Bryan Rust
If we take a player’s fantasy points per game (FPPG) and multiply it by the number of games they have left, that’s how much fantasy value they have remaining — again, assuming a static pace forward (which we know isn’t the case). Join or create a league in the No. 1 Fantasy Hockey game, and […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey waiver watch: Nick Schmaltz and Max Comtois lead weekly pickups
Nick Schmaltz, C/LW/RW, Arizona Coyotes (33.5%): Somewhat quietly, the Coyotes’ top center has amassed six goals and six assists in 14 games – a third of those points counting with the man-advantage. Competing with Conor Garland and Clayton Keller, Schmaltz will continue to produce with regularity. Useful in all but the shallowest of standard ESPN.com […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 4 update: Right time to drop slumping starters?
We have a larger-than-usual batch of new faces to the rankings this week, with 22 players shuffled in and 22 shuffled out. Why? With close to a quarter of the season on the books, it feels like a good chance to do some “spring cleaning” of the ranks. There are more than a few dust […]

“I’m getting a nice dose of what my wife deals with on a daily basis,” Foligno said. “It is kind of fun, though. Like you’re making up for lost time. I’ve chosen to look at it that way, so I don’t feel like I’m so stressed out.” As the kids settle into more dad time […]
Continue readingSource: Broncos DE Shelby Harris back on 1-year deal
The deal is for a guaranteed $2.5 million with the potential for $725,000 of additional incentives, a source confirmed to ESPN. As the 2019 season drew to a close, Harris said he had hoped to find a multiyear deal in free agency, but that didn’t materialize. Harris, who was third on team with six sacks, […]
Continue readingNHL Trendspotting: How do the Columbus Blue Jackets just keep winning games?
Since coach John Tortorella’s volcanic eruption at the expense of the officials (and his bank account), which happened to coincide with the loss of their starting goalie, the Jackets have had a 13-3-2 stretch. If you extend it to include their most recent 25 games, they’re a remarkable 18-3-4. Just how have they managed to […]
