2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fantilli had a strong rookie campaign with 12 goals and 27 points in 49 outings, but a leg injury prevented him from playing past Jan. 28. While it was a rough end to his campaign, it doesn't change the fact that the 19-year-old (20 on Oct. 12) has tremendous upside. Having already given Columbus a taste of what he can do, the rebuilding Blue Jackets will likely use him in a top-six capacity and on the first power-play unit. If that proves to be the case, then it wouldn't be surprising to see Fantilli jump to 50-60 points in his sophomore season, though of course there's some risk there given that his level of NHL experience is still relatively low.

Pots goal in loss
CColumbus Blue Jackets
December 18, 2024
Fantilli scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
ANALYSIS
The goal ended his droughts -- he'd gone nine games without scoring and six contests without a point prior to Tuesday. Fantilli had previously gone no more than three games without a point. The 20-year-old has been firmly in the middle six this season, racking up six goals, eight helpers, 63 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-9 rating over 32 appearances. Fantilli has plenty of long-term promise, but that level of scoring for a center has relatively low fantasy value in redraft formats, though he has the talent to pick up the pace.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Blue Jackets fans are likely in for another painful season, but at least they'll get to watch Fantilli. He was taken with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft after scoring an incredible 30 goals and 65 points in 36 NCAA outings with the University of Michigan last season. The 18-year-old forward, who stands at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, will be able to use his size and strength to his advantage in the NHL, but as he showed with Michigan, he's more than just a big body. He's also fast and highly skilled offensively, with the potential to eventually become a top-line center. Taking a rookie is always a risk, but Fantilli appears to be far enough along in his development to record 40-50 points and 50-60 PIM in his first campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be available for Team Canada
CColumbus Blue Jackets
April 10, 2024
Fantilli, who hasn't played since Jan. 28 due to a lacerated calf, might still join Team Canada for the IIHF World Championship in May, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Fantilli won't return for the Blue Jackets before the end of the 2023-24 campaign, but he might still recover in time for the World Championship. That would provide the 19-year-old with an opportunity to gain some extra experience ahead of his summer training. He will finish his rookie season with 12 goals and 27 points in 49 contests with Columbus.
