Nick Schmaltz continues to be one of the more quietly productive forwards in fantasy. He drives play with strong shot volume, particularly in high-danger areas, and has shown the ability to put together long point streaks throughout the season. Schmaltz typically sees top-six minutes and first power-play usage, giving him consistent opportunity in high-value fantasy situations. Because he’s often overlooked in DFS pricing, Schmaltz offers strong point-per-dollar upside. When you combine his role with a four-game week, he becomes an ideal mid-range forward who can round out lineups and outperform his cost.
