Jacob Bryson

27-Year-Old DefensemanD
Buffalo Sabres
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bryson is a depth defenseman that the Sabres can plug into the lineup when there's an injury or someone needs a game off, but the 26-year-old (27 on Nov. 18) isn't expected to get utilized beyond that. He recorded a goal, eight points, 40 blocked shots and 17 hits across 36 appearances with Buffalo in 2023-24 while averaging 14:41 of ice time. There's no guarantee that he'll feature in as many games in 2024-25, but if circumstances do push Buffalo to dress Bryson with regularity, then the blueliner will pick up a good number of blocks.

Inks one-year extension

March 20, 2025
Bryson signed a one-year, $900,000 contract extension with Buffalo on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
That means Bryson will earn the same salary in 2025-26 as he has been for this campaign. The 27-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer before inking his new deal. Bryson has seven assists, nine hits and 47 blocks in 42 appearances in 2024-25.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bryson appeared in 59 contests last season, but he averaged just 14:35 of ice time. To put that into context, only six defensemen in the league averaged fewer minutes in 2022-23 while still logging at least 50 games. Bryson didn't exactly demand a bigger role either with his one goal, nine points, 27 shots, 34 hits and 69 blocks over the course of the campaign. He'll turn 26 on Nov. 18, so it's becoming a bit of a stretch to call him a prospect, and the additions of Erik Johnson and Connor Clifton over the summer could push Bryson even further down Buffalo's depth chart, keeping the defenseman's projected fantasy value at a minimum.
