2026 Fantasy Outlook
Clarke played all 82 regular-season games and posted eight goals and 32 assists with 13 power-play points, 185 blocked shots and 159 shots on net. The secondary numbers are strong from a young defenseman, and the plus-11 rating showed his steadiness in his own zone. Clarke's offensive role should continue to grow, particularly on the power play, and his shot volume indicates upside to improve in goals. Project a 10-goal, 45-50-point season with plenty of blocks and shots on net in 2026-27. Clarke is a mid-to-late round fantasy target, with one of the higher ceilings in this tier given his age and the potential for his role with the Kings to keep growing in his age-23 season.

Signs five-year extension
Clarke signed a five-year, $37 million contract extension with the Kings on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Clarke wrapped up his entry-level deal in 2025-26, posting eight goals, 32 assists, 159 shots on net, 185 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 82 regular-season games. His new deal will carry a $7.4 million cap hit. This cements his place in the Kings' future plans and should help the team ease the transition on the blue line as Clarke starts to take over the top role from Drew Doughty. The 23-year-old Clarke should be a popular fantasy pick this year, especially if he retains a spot on the first power-play unit.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
A dynamic defenseman with enormous offensive potential, Clarke exhibited flashes last season of why he was taken with the No. 8 overall pick in 2021. Over the first 41 games of 2024-25, the 22-year-old supplied three goals and 22 points, but across his last 37 appearances, Clarke contributed just two goals and 11 points while seeing his ice time decrease. The deceptively creative blueliner still needs to improve defensively, but Clarke's upside on offense is clear -- Clarke received 17.1 percent of shift starts in the offensive zone this past season, the highest mark among Kings defensemen. He might be sheltered again in 2025-26, but if he can earn a full-time role on the power play, Clarke should be able to reach the 40-point mark. He merits a late-round selection in all formats, but it’ll be worth monitoring what type of workload he receives early in 2025-26.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to re-sign
Clarke is interested in staying with the Kings long term, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Clarke is eligible to become a restricted free agent this summer. The 23-year-old had eight goals and 40 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2025-26 after finishing the previous regular season with 33 points in 78 appearances. He was limited to an assist in four playoff outings this year, but he did block 13 shots in the first-round series. Now that the Kings have been eliminated from the postseason, they're likely to focus on working out the terms of Clarke's next contract.
