Sidney Crosby is really good at hockey. Steven Stamkos is pretty darn good, too. And that Evgeni Malkin guy, boy can he play.
The focus of fantasy discussion has a tendency to trend toward the elite. There is nothing wrong with discussing and analyzing the elite players in the league, but it is less likely you will glean some key information in such discussions. Front Line gives you the ranks of the Top 100 fantasy forwards for the remainder of the season based on ESPN fantasy hockey standard league scoring. While it is necessary to take time to analyze these rankings and discuss the players who are trending up or trending down, sometimes it feels like we are ignoring the players ranked No. 101 or above.
A Top 100 is a nice clean number, but it doesn't fully encompass the player pool that even the most shallow leagues must consider. An ESPN standard league has nine forward roster spots, one utility spot that tends to be a forward and five bench spots which typically include two to three additional forwards. So even in a 10-team league, there are likely 120 forwards owned, not counting injured reserve roster room. In a 12-team league, that number is 156 forwards.
