Point 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

Brayden Point is the #28 ranked fantasy skater this season and the #4 center. His value would have been even better if he played as many games as other elite centers. Based on average fantasy points he is the #3 center. He peaked early in the season. He averaged 4 FPs in his first 26 games and 3 FP in his final 27 games. 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, Point can be considered a consistent fantasy player. Our projected ceiling for Point when he 'goes off' is 15 fantasy points (his average is 3.4FPs).
