2025 Fantasy Outlook
Yamamoto appeared in just 12 games with Utah last season, accounting for two goals, one assist and a minus-1 rating while averaging 12:07 of ice time. The right-shot winger fared much better in the minors in 2024-25, generating 20 markers and 56 points over 54 regular-season appearances with AHL Tucson. That production likely helped Yamamoto re-up with the Mammoth, as he’s back with the club on a one-year, two-way deal. The 2017 first-round selection will have to earn an NHL roster spot for the 2025-26 campaign, and unless he can work his way into a prominent role in the lineup, Yamamoto probably won’t be helpful to fantasy managers.

Yamamoto signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Mammoth in July of 2025.
Generates helper in win
Yamamoto recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Yamamoto played in the first four games of the season, but he was scratched in five straight before entering the lineup again Sunday over Liam O'Brien. The 27-year-old Yamamoto will likely be confined to a bottom-six role, giving him minimal fantasy upside this season. He has a helper, two shots on net, two hits and a plus-1 rating across five appearances so far. He's on a two-way deal, but he figures to have a fair amount of job security at the NHL level at least until Alex Kerfoot (abdomen) returns, which isn't going to be until mid-December at the earliest. Yamamoto would require waivers to be assigned to AHL Tucson.

The near point-per-game pace Yamamoto showed in 2019-20 is a distant memory. The Oilers decided to cut their losses by trading him to the Red Wings in late-June, and Detroit proceeded to buy him out. The Wings' loss is the Kraken's gain, as Yamamoto signed a one-year deal with the team in hopes of rebuilding his value this year. Going from Edmonton to Seattle is a big change. The former is a top-heavy offense, and one where Yamamoto barely held onto a top-six role, while the latter is built on more of a full-team approach that takes the pressure off of any one player or line. The best-case scenario likely still has Yamamoto around 40 points in 2023-24, but there's also the risk of him getting stuck in a fourth-line role. His tenacity should help him stick in the lineup, but Yamamoto probably doesn't need to be selected on fantasy draft day.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Begins contract talks
Yamamoto, who has been attending Utah's training camp on a tryout basis, has entered into contract talks with the team, according to Craig Morgan of ALLCITY Network on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Yamamoto had eight goals and 16 points in 59 regular-season games with Seattle in 2023-24. Although the 26-year-old wasn't a significant offensive contributor last season, he has been productive in the past, peaking in 2021-22 with 20 goals and 41 points across 81 outings with the Oilers. Yamamoto has impressed Utah during training camp and might open the campaign in a middle-six role should the two sides agree on a contract.
