Nicklas Backstrom's Fantasy Scouting Report
SEASON FANTASY RECAP AND TREND Nicklas Backstrom had a decent season as a solid fantasy starter. He is the number #21 ranked center and the #99 ranked skater overall. His ranking drops slightly if you base things on average fantasy points where he is the #27 center. He peaked early in the season. He averaged 3.6 FPs in his first 26 games and 1.9 FP in his final 27 games. His standard deviation divided by his average is 1.44 which is close to the league ratio. Our projected ceiling for Backstrom when he 'goes off' is 16 fantasy points (his average is 2.3FPs). SportsLine has the best NHL picks and Daily Fantasy Lineups. In the off-season check out our coverage of all major leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, Horses, NASCAR, and Golf). CURRENT CAREER TREND AND STATISTICS His FP average has dropped by -18 percent from two seasons ago. WEEKLY FANTASY RECAP He has averaged 6.9 fantasy points per week and had 12 weeks where he came up short (below 80% of average) and had 10 weeks where he was +20% above average. DAILY FANTASY SEASON RECAP He averaged 13.1 FD points and 3.5 DK points per game. We looked at all of his games that were between the 10th and 90th percentile where the 10th percentile is his floor and the 90th is his ceiling. When he was bad in DFS, he was really bad with a floor of zero points. He did not have a high ceiling (less than +50% over average). On Draftkings it was 5 and on FanDuel it was 24.2 FPs. He has had more bad FanDuel games (below average by 20%) than good games (20% above average), and the same was true on DraftKings. We are only including games where they were in the daily fantasy slate and played.
