Fantilli’s early-season usage with Columbus signals immediate fantasy upside. He’s lined up for meaningful minutes and PP exposure, making him a high-upside add for season-long and dynasty formats.

Fantilli is identified as a core piece whose growth could drive Columbus into meaningful contention, with Johnson and Sillinger providing complementary talent as the Jackets ride youth to upside.

Top fantasy prospect in Columbus; 31 goals and 48 even-strength points in sophomore season; top-six forward with potential for 60 points and strong hits; likely higher PP exposure boosting upside.

Fantilli lands around the 13th round with an ADP near 171.8, offering Columbus a high-ceiling center with solid multi-cat upside (points, goals, hits). He flashed 54 points and 30+ goals across a full 82-game season, pairing skill with grit and PP potential that makes him a strong late-round target.

Fantilli is flagged as a potential 40-goal scorer this season, with high expectations to drive Columbus's offense alongside Johnson.
