Saturday's Winger Value Rankings
Here are the winger value rankings for Saturday, March 12:
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Filip Forsberg (NAS) | at VAN | 9 |
| Mark Stone (OTT) | vs. TOR | 9 |
| Jonathan Huberdeau (FLA) | vs. PHI | 9 |
| Zack Smith (OTT) | vs. TOR | 9 |
| Blake Wheeler (WPG) | vs. COL | 8 |
| Craig Smith (NAS) | at VAN | 8 |
| Jaden Schwartz (STL) | at DAL | 8 |
| Brad Marchand (BOS) | vs. NYI | 8 |
| Bobby Ryan (OTT) | vs. TOR | 8 |
| Jaromir Jagr (FLA) | vs. PHI | 8 |
Forsberg continues to flourish on the left-side of C Mike Ribeiro, registering six points in his last four games and is worth paying up for. Forsberg's linemate, Craig Smith, has 11 points in 10 games. A juicy matchup against the Canucks' appalling defense makes both of them an enticing play in all formats.
Huberdeau has one goal and three assists in his last two games and can be confidently rostered in all formats against the Flyers' heinous defense. Marchand has fired 10 shots on goal in his last two games. With 34 goals on the season, he has the potential for a strong performance.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) | at DAL | 7 |
| T.J. Oshie (WAS) | at SJ | 7 |
| Andreas Martinsen (COL) | at WPG | 7 |
| Jamie Benn (DAL) | vs. STL | 7 |
| Mikkel Boedker (COL) | at WPG | 7 |
| Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. ARI | 7 |
| Nikita Soshnikov (TOR) | at OTT | 7 |
| Jarome Iginla (COL) | at WPG | 7 |
| James Neal (NAS) | at VAN | 7 |
| Jeff Skinner (CAR) | at BUF | 7 |
| Kyle Okposo (NYI) | at BOS | 7 |
Martinesen has been promoted to the Avalanche's first-line and is a sly cash game play Saturday night. Soshnikov continues to impress coach Mike Babcock and is playing in the Maple Leafs' top-six. Both players are superb buy-low candidates.
Benn has three power play assists in his last four outings.
Iginla has scored 12 of his 19 goals on the power-play and with a matchup against the Jets' porous defense, a multi-point night could be in the cards.
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Max Pacioretty (MTL) | vs. MIN | 6 |
| Alex Ovechkin (WAS) | at SJ | 6 |
| P.A. Parenteau (TOR) | at OTT | 6 |
| Zach Parise (MIN) | at MTL | 6 |
| Jordan Eberle (EDM) | vs. ARI | 6 |
| Max Domi (ARI) | at EDM | 9 |
| Devante Smith-Pelly (NJ) | at LA | 5 |
| Milan Lucic (LA) | vs. NJ | 5 |
| Thomas Vanek (MIN) | at MTL | 5 |
| Evander Kane (BUF) | vs. CAR | 5 |
| Loui Eriksson (BOS) | vs. NYI | 5 |
| Mats Zuccarello (NYR) | at DET | 5 |
Ovechkin is the most expensive at his position on Saturday and could struggle to return value in his fourth game away from home.
With Brendan Gallagher sidelined with two fractured fingers, Pacioretty will likely struggle to find any offense.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Patrick Marleau (SJ) | vs. WAS | 4 |
| Daniel Sedin (VAN) | vs. NAS | 4 |
| Tomas Hertl (SJ) | vs. WAS | 4 |
| Tyler Toffoli (LA) | vs. NJ | 3 |
| Wayne Simmonds (PHI) | at FLA | 3 |
| Kyle Palmieri (NJ) | at LA | 2 |
| Jakub Voracek (PHI) | at FLA | 2 |
These players face teams with daunting defenses and should be faded in every DFS format.
