Analysis:

Kessel has been slagged for years for his less-than-athletic body and been the butt of jokes about his dietary choices and lack of interest in training. But he's still been able to blow past opponents and rack up the points. Now, he appears to be amped to skate with Sidney Crosby and could be in the best shape of his career. He's rising the fantasy charts.
