• Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Pockets assist Saturday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli logged an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Capitals. Fantilli has four points over his last five games as he continues to look solid in a middle-six role. He was back in the power-play mix Saturday since James van Riemsdyk was scratched, though Fantilli's role with the man advantage has been slipping lately. The 20-year-old center is still a decent option for fantasy managers in deep formats. He has six points, 29 shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 11 contests.

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 6-1 win over the Oilers. Fantilli also saw just 10:37 of ice time over 18 shifts. There wasn't a reported injury after the game, so this was likely an in-game rest after a job well done. Monday marked his first multi-point effort of the season, and he's up to three goals, two assists, 22 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across eight appearances.

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli logged an assist, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators. Fantilli picked up his first assist of the year on a Kirill Marchenko tally in the second period. The 20-year-old Fantilli hasn't popped offensively yet, earning three points through seven contests. He's added 21 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating while playing on the second line and second power-play unit. Fantasy managers in redraft formats may want to consider other options, but his long-term upside in dynasty leagues remains high.

• Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Scores on birthday

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Avalanche. Fantilli celebrated his 20th birthday with a second-period goal, his first point in two games this season. He's started the season as the Blue Jackets' second-line center, a role that should allow him to build on the 27-point rookie season he produced in 49 games in 2023-24. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should already have Fantilli, but he could play his way into the redraft picture in 2024-25.

• Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Two helpers in Tuesday's win

  10/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Fantilli produced two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blues. Fantilli set up Yegor Chinakhov's power-play goal in the second period and Mathieu Olivier's empty-netter in the third. With four goals, two helpers and 10 shots on net over four preseason contests, Fantilli has made a great impression. He had 12 goals, 15 assists, 115 shots and 63 hits over 49 regular-season outings before a lacerated calf ended his season early in 2023-24, but the 19-year-old looks poised for a bigger breakout in Year 2.
