Fantasy Analysis

Vanek missed a few games earlier in the season with an upper-body injury, but with just eight goals in 21 games, we have to wonder if he is not 100 percent. Vanek has been an elite scorer the last few seasons, but he is only on pace for 28 goals. That's not the type of production Fantasy owners or the Sabres want to see. Vanek remains a must-start Fantasy option based on potential, but he is definitely underachieving.
