Teravainen 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

Teuvo Teravainen had a good, but not elite, year in fantasy. He is the number #19 ranked wing and the #69 ranked skater overall. 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 3.4 fantasy points which was higher than his start (1.8 FP) and his ending average (2.8 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. Based on a relatively low standard deviation, Teravainen can be considered a consistent fantasy player. Our projected ceiling for Teravainen when he 'goes off' is 16 fantasy points (his average is 2.6FPs).

UPWARD STATISTICAL CAREER TREND

He has demonstrated the solid year-to-year improvement that you look for in a younger player. His three season trend show an increase of 100% in fantasy points per game.

WEEKLY FANTASY RECAP

He has averaged 8 fantasy points per week and had 13 weeks where he came up short (below 80% of average) and had 12 weeks where he was +20% above average.

DAILY FANTASY SEASON RECAP

He averaged 11.7 FD points and 3.1 DK points per game. We looked at all of his games that were between the 10th and 90th percentile where the 10th percentile is his floor and the 90th is his ceiling. 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 6 and 22.1 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. We are only including games where they were in the daily fantasy slate and played.
