2024 Fantasy Outlook
Protas had a modest breakout in 2023-24, earning 29 points and 113 shots on net over 78 regular-season contests. He's steadily gained more responsibility with the Capitals over the last three years, but Protas' ceiling remains limited by a lack of power-play time -- he averaged just 15 seconds per game with the man advantage last year. Protas is likely to remain in a middle-six role in 2024-25, so it's fair to question how much more growth he can show without a significantly larger role. Expect roughly 30 points without much additional production in the non-scoring categories, leaving his fantasy value to deep formats. Read Past Outlooks

Protas provided an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
ANALYSIS
Protas reached the 20-assist mark when he set up a Tom Wilson goal in the first period that tied the game at 1-1. The 24-year-old Protas has looked good in a top-six role this season even without seeing much power-play time. He's up to 39 points, 81 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating over 47 appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to be scratched Friday
CWashington Capitals
January 6, 2023
Protas is expected to be a healthy scratch Friday against Nashville, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
ANALYSIS
Protas played in Washington's first 41 games. He has three goals and 10 points while averaging 10:52 of ice time this season. With Nicklas Backstrom, who has a hip injury, and Tom Wilson, who is dealing with a knee injury, close to returning to the Capitals' lineup, Protas might be reassigned to the minors in the not too distant future.
