SEASON FANTASY RECAP AND TREND

He was the #653 ranked fantasy skater this season and the #252 wing. His wing ranking drops to #308 when basing it on average fantasy points. He peaked early in the season. He averaged 0.5 FPs in his first 17 games and 0 FP in his final 18 games. 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, Smith-Pelly is relatively inconsistent capable of very high highs and equally low lows. He averaged 0.3 FPs, but on any given day his projected ceiling is as high as 6 fantasy points.

DAILY FANTASY SEASON RECAP

His FanDuel average was 4.3 points and on DraftKings it was 1.2 per game.

When he was bad in DFS, he was really bad with a floor of zero points. When he was good, he was very good with a DraftKings ceiling of 2.5 and 8 on FanDuel. He has had more bad FanDuel games (below average by 20%) than good games (20% above average), and the same was true on DraftKings.
