REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK

Expect Sidney Crosby to be a reliable fantasy starter the rest of the season. His 38 projected fantasy points puts him at #5 behind Evgeni Malkin and ahead of Sebastian Aho. He has averaged 3.2 fantasy points in his past 120 games. Our projected per game average is virtually the same. He is projected to average 3.17 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#7) is worse than his rank based on total fantasy points. He is owned in 100% of fantasy leagues so everyone expects him to be an elite center. He is projected to be very good, but not one of the very best at his position. Sidney Crosby is expected to improve on this season-to-date's #44 fantasy position rank.
