Noah Cates | Fantasy Outlook
Cates remains in fourth-line role as Flyers host Kraken
Noah Cates and the Flyers return home to Xfinity Mobile Arena tonight seeking their first victory after an 0-5-2 start, hosting a 4-2-0 Seattle Kraken club. Philadelphia enters as slight home favorites in what projects as an average-scoring matchup. With no fresh lineup updates over the past week, Cates remains deployed in a bottom-six role centering the fourth line alongside Carl Grundstrom and Noel Acciari without power-play assignment. Offensively, Cates has started slow with zero points and only seven shots through his first seven contests while skating around 12 minutes per night.
Our daily projection slates Cates for a modest ~0.5–1.0 point expectation, around ~1–2 shots on goal, and light peripheral output, translating to roughly 2.0 fantasy points. Looking at the schedule this week, Philadelphia has three total games on tap, leaving two more tilts against Detroit and Ottawa after tonight. However, our data projects just 2.1 fantasy points across the entire week, reflecting his heavily restricted fourth-line offensive ceiling and absent special-teams deployment. Leave him on waivers or reserves in standard leagues. Today's action: Bench.
