Jake Guentzel's Fantasy Scouting Report

DAILY FANTASY VALUE

Guentzel is overrated on FanDuel with a projected 15.2 FD pts (#14 among wings). At $7900 he is expected to be the #7 wing. At his projected points, he is worth a salary of $7.6K (expected pts per $ is calculated daily based on the average of healthy starters). Mikko Rantanen is also priced at $7900 and is a better option at this price. Instead of Guentzel consider these better options at lower salaries: Artemi Panarin (16.3 FP), Cam Atkinson (17 FP), Filip Forsberg (15.3 FP), Claude Giroux (16.1 FP), and Phil Kessel (15.8 FP). Based on salary, he is expected to have 15.7 FPs, a value reached in 25 of 73 games (34%). The combined 'cover percentage' for wings priced at $4.0K and above is 42%.

  • 3/19 VEGAS LINE EXPECTATION: PIT 3.1 (#7 Most Today) @ CAR 3.4 (#2 Most)
  • PROJECTION (POS RANK): 15.16 Fantasy Points (#14), 0.99 points (#16), 0.52 goals (#4), 0.47 assists (#22), 2.5 shots on goal (#37), 0.4 PIM (#65 most), 0.64 blocked shots (#37)

DRAFTKINGS VALUE: Projected for 4.1 DraftKings pts Guentzel is the #7 ranked right wing. He is the #6 highest priced right wing ($6800). Based on the projection, Guentzel is worth $6.7K. Cam Atkinson is also priced at $6800 and is a better option at this price. Instead of Guentzel consider these better options at lower salaries: Claude Giroux (4.3 FP) and Phil Kessel (4.2 FP). Based on salary, he is expected to have 4.2 FPs, a value reached in 26 of 73 games (36%). The combined 'cover percentage' for right wing priced at $4.0K and above is 41%.

Guentzel is NOT in the SportsLine DraftKings optimal lineup or the FanDuel optimal lineup which are based on the computer model's projection. SportsLine.com also offers premium optimal lineups from Mike McClure, a professional DFS player who has over $1 million in career winnings. He uses his own proprietary model to find great DFS values and often differs from the computer in how a player is projected to play on a daily basis.

WEEKLY FANTASY VALUE

His market rank based on start percentage among right wings for the rest of week 25 is #18, which is less than his market rank of #16. When compared to other right wings in week 26 these are 5 better options at lower start percentages: Sam Reinhart (10.1 FP), Michael Frolik (8.2 FP), Teuvo Teravainen (9.4 FP), Gustav Nyquist (12.1 FP), and Reilly Smith (8.8 FP). Starting in 83% of leagues he is expected to produce 9.1 fantasy points (WK 26). At his start percentage, he is expected to be the #13 right wing of the week, but he is projected to be the #23 right wing. In terms of total fantasy points he projected to come up 1.2 short of expectations.

He is projected for 7.85 fantasy points in week 26 (#23 RW) in 3 games.

    REST OF SEASON VALUE

    Both the market and projections have the exact same expectations for Jake Guentzel. Based on ownership percentage (96%), Jake Guentzel has a market rank of #16 among right wings. Projections also rank him #16. He is projected for 26 fantasy points in 9 remaining games. Based on average FPs, he is even better with the #12 highest average. The market ranks Jake Guentzel behind Pavelski and above Voracek but the projections rank Voracek over Jake Guentzel.

    His rank in goals is better than his SOG rank indicating a relatively high shooting %.

    SEASON FANTASY RECAP AND TREND

    Jake Guentzel was the number #15 ranked wing and the #60 ranked skater overall. His elite ranking was helped by his higher games played (73). Based on average fantasy points he is the #19 wing. He showed improvement from his start of the season to the middle of his season, but then his production dropped off. In his middle 24 games he averaged 3.1 fantasy points which was higher than his start (2.5 FP) and his ending average (2.5 FP). He is young, so his late season drop-off should not be an indicator of an overall downward trend heading into next season. Based on a relatively low standard deviation, Guentzel can be considered a consistent fantasy player. Our projected ceiling for Guentzel when he 'goes off' is 14 fantasy points (his average is 2.7FPs).

    STATISTICAL IMPROVEMENT OVER LAST SEASON

    As a young player he improved as you would like. His average Fantasy points increased by 69% this season.

    WEEKLY FANTASY RECAP

    He has averaged 8.6 fantasy points per week and had 12 weeks where he came up short (below 80% of average) and had 9 weeks where he was +20% above average.

    DAILY FANTASY SEASON RECAP

    His FanDuel average was 14.9 points and on DraftKings it was 4.1 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. On DraftKings his floor was 1 and on FanDuel it was 3.2 fantasy points. He had a relatively high ceiling. On Draftkings it was 8 and on FanDuel it was 30.4 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.
