2025 Fantasy Outlook
Colton suffered a few injuries in 2024-25, including a broken foot and a pulled groin. That limited him to 61 regular-season games and also kept him out of the playoffs. Those significant absences led to him producing just 29 points in 61 contests, which is fine offense, but it was his lowest total in the last four years. Colton has a harder path to top-six minutes, which will likely have to come on the wing after the Avalanche acquired Brock Nelson to improve the team's center depth. He can still move up to cover for injury absences, but Colton isn't much of an option in most fantasy formats if he's stuck on the third line, though he can make up for a lack of scoring with his hitting, as he's exceeded 140 hits in four straight years.

Signed a four-year, $16 million contract with the Avalanche in July of 2023.
Gets empty-netter in return
Colton scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.
ANALYSIS
Colton capped the scoring for the Avalanche in his return from a six-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old slotted onto the second line, but he may move down to the third line once Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) and Nicolas Roy (upper body) are healthy. Colton has been limited to nine goals, 24 points, 138 shots on net, 138 hits and a plus-13 rating over 61 appearances this season, down from 29 points in the same number of regular-season outings a year ago.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Colton's first season in Colorado was a fairly successful one, as he managed to rack up 17 goals and 23 assists for a career-high 40 points. It was the third straight season in which the versatile forward was able to reach the 30-point threshold. On the power play, the New Jersey native had a fairly minimal impact, recording three goals and two assists with the man advantage, but he should keep his role with the second unit heading into the 2024-25 campaign. As such, Colton figures to be a decent depth option in fantasy with a slightly higher ceiling thanks to being a part of Colorado's high-powered offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Nashville?
Colton could be a trade target for the Predators, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.
ANALYSIS
Colton has a no-trade clause that kicks in July 1, but it's rumored the Avalanche are looking to deal the forward. The Predators could deploy Colton in a middle-six role, though his $4 million cap hit would make him Nashville's third-highest-paid forward if the Avalanche don't retain salary.
