DFS: Wednesday's Winger Value Rankings
Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Wednesday, October 28:
# | Name | Opponent | Risk |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Mark Stone (OTT) | vs. CGY | Low |
2 | James Neal (NAS) | at SJ | Low |
3 | Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) | at OTT | Low |
4 | Filip Forsberg (NAS) | at SJ | Low |
5 | Alex Ovechkin (WAS) | vs. PIT | Low |
6 | T.J. Oshie (WAS) | vs. PIT | Low |
7 | Bobby Ryan (OTT) | vs. CGY | Medium |
8 | Phil Kessel (PIT) | at WAS | Medium |
9 | Jiri Hudler (CGY) | at OTT | Medium |
10 | Patrick Marleau (SJ) | vs. NAS | Medium |
The Flames have been terrible, making Stone a cheap and favorable bet atop the rankings. Gaudreau has been steady on the wing despite Calgary's struggles, leading the club with nine assists. Neal and Forsberg are one of the most exciting tandems and can be handcuffed for a decent price.
Ovechkin and Oshie pair together at a heftier price, but have earned that right. They lead Washington forwards in ice time and anchor an impressive top line with Evgeny Kuznetsov.
# | Name | Opponent | Risk |
---|---|---|---|
11 | Marcus Johansson (WAS) | vs. PIT | Medium |
12 | Michael Frolik (CGY) | at OTT | High |
13 | Joel Ward (SJ) | vs. NAS | High |
14 | Tommy Wingels (SJ) | vs. NAS | High |
15 | Andre Burakovsky (WAS) | vs. PIT | High |
16 | Colin Wilson (NAS) | at SJ | High |
17 | Jason Chimera (WAS) | vs. PIT | High |
18 | Pascal Dupuis (PIT) | at WAS | High |
19 | Chris Kunitz (PIT) | at WAS | High |
20 | Patric Hornqvist (PIT) | at WAS | High |
None of these options should be targeted in cash games except Johansson. Burakovsky has points in three straight but his limited ice time makes him too much of a coin flip. Ward had a hat trick his last time out, which skews his fantasy points per game; the Sharks are in tough against the Predators' elite defense. Reach here only in GPP formats.
