McGinn 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.

SEASON FANTASY RECAP AND TREND

He is the number #138 ranked wing and the #386 ranked skater overall. His wing ranking drops to #189 when basing it on average fantasy points. He showed improvement from his start of the season to the middle of his season, but then his production dropped off. In his middle 27 games he averaged 1.2 fantasy points which was higher than his start (0.6 FP) and his ending average (1.1 FP). He is still relatively young, so his late season drop-off should not be an indicator of an overall downward trend heading into next season. Using standard deviation as an indicator of consistency, McGinn is relatively inconsistent capable of very high highs and equally low lows. He averaged 1 FPs, but on any given day his projected ceiling is as high as 10 fantasy points.
