DRAFT ADVICE AND POSITION RANK

Based on our latest pre-season projection, you can expect Frederik Andersen will be an elite fantasy starter. His 372 projected fantasy points puts him at #2 behind Andrei Vasilevskiy and ahead of Tuukka Rask. He has averaged 6.4 fantasy points in his past 60 games, which is more than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 5.72 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#5) is worse than his rank based on total fantasy points. He is slightly underrated if you compare his ownership based rank with his projection rank. At 85%, he is the #3 most highly owned goalie. Frederik Andersen is expected to slightly improve on last season's #3 fantasy position rank.
