31-Year-Old Right WingRW
Columbus Blue Jackets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Danforth was a feel-good story last season, playing in a regular role at the NHL level for the first time in his age-30 season (he turned 31 on March 15). From a fantasy perspective, though, there's not much to talk about here. He had 10 goals, 26 points, 26 PIM and 109 hits in 71 outings with Columbus last season. Danforth is penciled in to serve on the Blue Jackets' third line in 2024-25, so he has the potential to put up similar numbers to his 2023-24 totals, but that's about as good as it's likely to get for him.

October 31, 2024
Danforth scored an empty-net goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
Danforth has multiple shots on net in four of his six appearances so far, and he's added at least one hit in every game. The 31-year-old has filled a middle-six role, and he's also seeing time on the second power-play unit. Danforth has four points, 12 shots, 14 hits and a plus-1 rating, giving him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Danforth appeared in a half dozen games last season, potting a couple goals and adding an assist before suffering a shoulder injury in a late October contest against the Penguins which ended his year. He ended up undergoing surgery for a torn labrum, and although Danforth was back skating in February, he never returned in what was a lost season for Columbus. The good news is the 30-year-old should be fully healthy for training camp and ready to regain a job in the bottom six for the Blue Jackets, although that's not a gig that will lead to any sort of fantasy value.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be put on injured reserve
RWColumbus Blue Jackets
October 4, 2024
Danforth, who is dealing with a wrist injury, might begin the campaign on the injured reserve, per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Danforth didn't play during the preseason after undergoing offseason wrist surgery. He had 10 goals, 26 points and 109 hits in 71 games with Columbus in 2023-24. When the 31-year-old is healthy, he will probably serve in a bottom-six capacity.
