• Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Keeps point streak alive

  8H ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli scored a goal and took six shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Blues. Fantilli found the back of the net in the latter stages of the first period. In addition to giving the Blue Jackets an early lead, he extended his point streak to five games (three goals, three assists). The 20-year-old playmaker has 21 points (10 goals, 11 assists) in 43 games this season after notching 27 points in 49 appearances as a rookie last season.

• Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Two points in comeback win

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins. With the Blue Jackets in a 3-1 hole midway through the third period, Fantilli sparked a comeback by setting up Dmitri Voronkov for one goal before scoring the tying tally himself with 2:36 remaining in regulation. Fantilli has a modest three-game point streak going, and if the upper-body injury Sean Monahan picked up Tuesday proves to be serious, the third-overall pick in the 2023 Draft could find himself thrust into a top-six role and a prominent spot on the power play.

• Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Gets goal in win

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Blues. It's his eighth of the season (17 points) in 40 games. Fantilli, who is just 20, isn't wowing with huge offensive numbers, but he's definitely growing his two-way game. He's the Jackets' third-line center and has been playing between James van Riemsdyk and Zach Aston-Reese. Fantilli may not take an offensive jump until his fourth season, and that's OK for the Jackets -- they want his game to be complete. Fantasy managers, especially those in keeper and dynasty formats, will need to weigh how long they can wait on Fantilli's offensive explosion.

• Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Scores in Friday's win

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Bruins. Fantilli's goal was the first of four in the second period as the Blue Jackets took control of the game. The 20-year-old has had a rough December with three points, 26 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-8 rating over 14 appearances. He remains in a middle-six role and on the second power-play unit, but Fantilli's 15 points over 36 contests won't win over many fantasy managers in redraft formats.

• Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Pots goal in loss

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning. The goal ended his droughts -- he'd gone nine games without scoring and six contests without a point prior to Tuesday. Fantilli had previously gone no more than three games without a point. The 20-year-old has been firmly in the middle six this season, racking up six goals, eight helpers, 63 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-9 rating over 32 appearances. Fantilli has plenty of long-term promise, but that level of scoring for a center has relatively low fantasy value in redraft formats, though he has the talent to pick up the pace.
