DFS: Saturday's Center Value Rankings
Here are theScore's center value rankings for Saturday, November 28:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Matt Duchene (COL) | vs WPG | 10 |
| Nathan MacKinnon (COL) | vs WPG | 9 |
| Joe Pavelski (SJ) | vs CGY | 9 |
| Tyler Seguin (DAL) | at MIN | 8 |
| Evgeni Malkin (PIT) | vs EDM | 8 |
| Kyle Turris (OTT) | at ARI | 8 |
| Bryan Little (WPG) | at COL | 8 |
| Martin Hanzal (ARI) | vs OTT | 8 |
Perhaps the Duchene trade talk woke up the speedster a bit, or maybe it was the move to the wing alongside MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog. Nonethless, he comes quite cheap and has 13 points in his last eight games. Pavelski is worth the price tag against Calgary, who might as well have a shooter tutor in net at this point. After a slow start, Malkin has seven points in his last four games.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Sidney Crosby (PIT) | vs EDM | 7 |
| Leon Draisaitl (EDM) | at PIT | 7 |
| Paul Stastny (STL) | vs CLB | 7 |
| Nicklas Backstrom (WAS) | at TOR | 7 |
| Evgeny Kuznetsov (WAS) | at TOR | 7 |
| Mika Zibanejad (OTT) | at ARI | 7 |
| Melker Karlsson (SJ) | vs CGY | 7 |
| Jason Spezza (DAL) | at MIN | 6 |
| John Tavares (NYI) | at TB | 6 |
| Jeff Carter (LA) | vs CHI | 6 |
| Steven Stamkos (TB) | vs NYI | 6 |
| Frans Nielsen (NYI) | at TB | 6 |
| Tomas Plekanec (MON) | vs NJ | 6 |
Corsby has finally awoken! The superstar has four points in his last three games. Draisatl has been absolutely phenomenal and has a low salary but will have a tough task beating Marc-Andre Fleury. Zibanejad is a true bargain despite playing at a near point-per-game pace over his last 10. Karlsson piggybacks off Pavelski and Joe Thornton.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Toews (CHI) | at LA | 5 |
| Mikko Koivu (MIN) | vs DAL | 5 |
| Mark Scheifele (WPG) | at COL | 5 |
| Boone Jenner (CLB) | at STL | 5 |
| Joe Thornton (SJ) | vs CGY | 5 |
| Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (EDM) | at PIT | 4 |
| Sean Monahan (CGY) | at SJ | 4 |
| Jack Eichel (BUF) | at NSH | 3 |
| Tyler Bozak (TOR) | vs WAS | 3 |
| Nazem Kadri (TOR) | vs WAS | 3 |
Toews is the definition of a player who get's overvalued in fantasy because of his superb play in reality. Thornton could be in for a big night against the Flames, but his lack of shot attempts gives him a very low floor. Bozak has produced more than Kadri, but the latter takes a lot more shots. However, Bozak and Kadri should both be avoided if Braden Holtby is in the crease.
