REST OF SEASON VALUE

His latest projection based rank among centers is #119. As of 3/24, Greg McKegg is the #125 ranked center based on ownership percentage (under 1%) and season fantasy rankings. Greg McKegg's projection rank is better than their market rank. While there is value and likely a clear opportunity to acquire him via trade or waiver wire pick up it is probably not worth the roster spot at this time. He is projected for 4 fantasy points in 8 remaining games. He has a lower rank (#132) based on projected fantasy average. The market ranks Greg McKegg behind Dowd and above Rooney but the projections rank Rooney over Greg McKegg.

He has a relatively high shooting percentage.

SEASON FANTASY RECAP AND TREND

He was the #612 ranked fantasy skater this season and the #122 center. His value would have been higher if he had played more games. Based on average fantasy points he was the #101 center. We split his 34 games into 3 segments (start, middle, and end). His production dropped throughout the season. In his first 11 games he averaged 1.8 FPs and that declined to 0.5 in his final 12 games. His fantasy production is more volatile that most players based on having a relatively high standard deviation. When he is good, he is really good but when he is off, he is really off. He averaged 0.9 FPs, but on any given day his projected ceiling is as high as 7 fantasy points.
