2024 Fantasy Outlook
Protas had a modest breakout in 2023-24, earning 29 points and 113 shots on net over 78 regular-season contests. He's steadily gained more responsibility with the Capitals over the last three years, but Protas' ceiling remains limited by a lack of power-play time -- he averaged just 15 seconds per game with the man advantage last year. Protas is likely to remain in a middle-six role in 2024-25, so it's fair to question how much more growth he can show without a significantly larger role. Expect roughly 30 points without much additional production in the non-scoring categories, leaving his fantasy value to deep formats. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a five-year, $16.88 million contract extension with the Capitals in January of 2024.
Hits 50-point mark
CWashington Capitals
February 23, 2025
Protas tallied three assists, a plus-3 rating and three shots during Sunday's 7-3 win over the Oilers.
ANALYSIS
It was "threes" across the board for Protas, who has compiled five goals and 14 points in his last 12 games to reach the 50-point mark for the first time in his NHL career. The hulking winger is back on the top line alongside Alex Ovechkin and is producing more than enough even-strength numbers to merit broad fantasy appeal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to be scratched Friday
CWashington Capitals
January 6, 2023
Protas is expected to be a healthy scratch Friday against Nashville, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
ANALYSIS
Protas played in Washington's first 41 games. He has three goals and 10 points while averaging 10:52 of ice time this season. With Nicklas Backstrom, who has a hip injury, and Tom Wilson, who is dealing with a knee injury, close to returning to the Capitals' lineup, Protas might be reassigned to the minors in the not too distant future.
