24-Year-Old CenterC
Edmonton Oilers
2023 Fantasy Outlook
McLeod solidified his place as the Oilers' third-line center last season, though he also saw occasional opportunities in the top six. The 23-year-old had 23 points, 78 shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in 57 contests. He enters 2023-24 in line for a similar role, though with the Oilers' top-heavy offense, he may have a tough time producing much more than 40 points even if he takes a step forward on offense. He's likely to be limited to the second power-play unit, though he can also make an impact with his shorthanded play. There's enough upside to consider McLeod in deeper formats, but he's little more than a late-round dart throw. Read Past Outlooks

Responds well to scratch

May 29, 2024
McLeod scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.
ANALYSIS
McLeod was scratched for Game 3 after enduring a 19-game point drought that included all of the playoffs. The 24-year-old's exclusion from the lineup was a one-game thing, and he made good on an opportunity to return to action by scoring in the first period to begin the Oilers' comeback. McLeod had 30 points in 81 regular-season outings in a middle-six role. His main contributions come from speed and penalty killing, so he shouldn't be expected to generate steady offense moving forward.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to play in Game 4

May 28, 2024
McLeod will probably be back in the lineup for Game 4 against Dallas on Wednesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kris Knoblauch told the media Tuesday that "there's a good chance" that McLeod will be back in action for Wednesday's contest. The 24-year-old was a healthy scratch in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars. He hasn't registered a point in 14 outings this postseason.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
McLeod was a real bright spot for the Oilers last season, posting nine goals and 21 points in 71 games despite playing the entire year at age 22. McLeod's greatest asset is his speed. He can wreak havoc on the forecheck and that helps him create scoring chances, even when playing in a bottom-six role. It's going to be difficult for McLeod to carve out fantasy value on an Edmonton team which relies so heavily on its top-two lines, but he's an ideal depth player given his youth and skill set.
