DFS: Tuesday's Winger Value Rankings
Here are theScore's center value rankings for Tuesday, December 1:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Mike Hoffman (OTT) | vs. PHI | 9 |
| Patrick Kane (CHI) | vs. MIN | 9 |
| Patrick Sharp (DAL) | at CGY | 9 |
| Max Pacioretty (MTL) | vs. CLB | 8 |
| Jamie Benn (DAL) | at CGY | 8 |
| Artemi Panarin (CHI) | vs. MIN | 8 |
While Benn will light up the Flames' appalling defense on Tuesday night, Hoffman looks to prolong his four-game point streak (5G, 2A) and is a must-start in cash games against a weak Flyers blueline.
Kane is the hottest player in the NHL right now, and his linemate Panarin has benefited from his success, making him a low-cost play with an extremely high upside.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Alexander Steen (STL) | vs. FLA | 7 |
| Mike Cammalleri (NJ) | vs. COL | 7 |
| Gabriel Landeskog (COL) | at NJ | 7 |
| Adam Henrique (NJ) | vs. COL | 7 |
| Mark Stone (OTT) | vs. PHI | 7 |
| Tyler Toffoli (LA) | vs. VAN | 7 |
These six players are worthy of starts in all formats and have favorable matchups. DFSers owning shares in Cammalleri and Landeskog should see them bear fruit as their top lines produce viable fantasy numbers.
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) | vs. FLA | 6 |
| James Neal (NAS) | vs. ARI | 6 |
| Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) | vs. DAL | 6 |
| Milan Lucic (LA) | vs. VAN | 5 |
| Thomas Vanek (MIN) | at CHI | 5 |
| Zach Parise (MIN) | at CHI | 5 |
The Panthers' surprisingly stout defense may hinder Tarasenko's production, resulting in his mid-tier rank. That said, he does have the potential to produce fantasy points on a nightly basis and should be in most lineups.
The Wild have scored 2.67 goals per game in November without Parise, who may struggle to return value after being shelved since Nov. 5 with a knee injury.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Patrick Marleau (SJ) | vs. PIT | 4 |
| Gustav Nyquist (DET) | vs. BUF | 4 |
| Phil Kessel (PIT) | at SJ | 4 |
| Max Domi (ARI) | at NAS | 4 |
| Marian Hossa (CHI) | vs. MIN | 4 |
| Filip Forsberg (ARI) | vs. NAS | 4 |
When the Sharks host the Penguins on Tuesday night, it's hard to predict how many goals will be scored, resulting in Kessel and Marleau's low rank.
Domi will struggle to solve Nashville's elite defense while the sophomore jinx has enveloped Forsberg, who has shown no signs of heating up.
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Mikkel Boedker (ARI) | at NAS | 3 |
| Daniel Sedin (VAN) | at LA | 3 |
| Scott Hartnell (CLB) | at MTL | 2 |
| Dustin Brown (LA) | vs. VAN | 2 |
| Ryan O'Reilly (BUF) | at DET | 1 |
| Jiri Hudler (CGY) | vs. DAL | 1 |
The top three players face tough matchups on Tuesday night and should be faded, along with the rest of the list.
