Trending up: Center Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche), who's tied for fourth in points (18 in 12 games), entered the top five. … Nashville Predators top line of left wing Filip Forsberg, center Ryan Johansen and wing Viktor Arvidsson have combined for 39 points (20 goals, 19 assists) through 12 games and have all moved up in the rankings. … Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews is expected to miss at least four weeks with an upper-body injury. In Matthews' absence, center Nazem Kadri gains value playing on a line with forwards Patrick Marleau and Mitch Marner.
Injury notes: Defenseman Torey Krug (Boston Bruins), goalies Pekka Rinne (Predators) and Cory Schneider (New Jersey Devils) and forwards Dustin Brown (Los Angeles Kings), Jakob Silfverberg (Anaheim Ducks) and Joe Thornton (San Jose Sharks) have rejoined the list after encouraging injury updates. Matthews, left wing Max Pacioretty (Vegas Golden Knights), defenseman Victor Hedman (Tampa Bay Lightning) and goalie Jonathan Quick have all dropped out due to recent injuries.
Additions to top 200: Outside of goalie Jack Campbell replacing Quick and other injury implications, the following players joined the rankings based on production and lineup trends: forwards Dominik Simon, Kyle Okposo, Zach Sanford, defensemen Oscar Klefbom, Shea Theodore, Jared Spurgeon, Colton Parayko, Brent Seabrook, Nick Leddy and goalie Robin Lehner.
FANTASY TOP 200 PLAYER RANKINGS
Standard Yahoo categories include goals, assists, plus/minus, power-play points, shots on goal and hits for skaters and wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts for goalies. Forward positions indicate Yahoo eligibility for 2018-19 season (subject to additions, but never subtractions, at Yahoo's discretion). ... Value has been quantified based on factors including but not limited to past production, projected line combinations, defense pairs and goalie start volume, power-play usage, injury history, sleeper upside, anticipated regression or bounce-back candidacy, age and contract status (potential 2019 UFA: \; RFA: \\). ... DTD indicates player with day-to-day injury. These rankings are updated at the beginning of each week by Pete Jensen and later adjusted with new defenseman and goalie orders from Rob Reese and David Satriano, respectively.
