11 Maple Leafs listed in Daily Faceoff’s Top 300 Fantasy Hockey player rankings

It’s never too early to start thinking about your fantasy hockey draft, and the team at Daily Faceoff has everything you need. Ahead of the weekend, the panel at Daily Faceoff released their consensus Top 300 fantasy hockey player rankings, where 11 members of the Toronto Maple Leafs made the cut.

Auston Matthews is the highest-ranked Maple Leafs player, sliding in at the No. 9 spot. This could represent excellent value, especially if Matthews is at full strength, two years removed from a 69-goal campaign. William Nylander isn’t far behind, ranked No. 13 overall.

After Matthews and Nylander, there’s a bit of a dropoff for the Leafs, with John Tavares coming in at No. 60. Matthews, Nylander, Tavares, Matthew Knies (No. 73 overall) and Anthony Stolarz (No. 85) round out the top 100 for the Maple Leafs.

What do you make of these rankings? It seems like fair value for Nylander, who emerged as the second-highest goal scorer in the NHL last season with 45 tallies, trailing only Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl. Tavares is coming off an excellent 38-goal campaign while Knies is expected by many to take another leap in his stellar career to date, while being stapled to Matthews on Toronto’s top line.

Joseph Woll could represent terrific value at No. 159 overall, especially if he stays healthy throughout the 2025-26 campaign. Morgan Rielly is ranked at No. 180, with the idea that he’s good for at least for 40 points per season. Matias Maccelli may end up being the best value overall of any Maple Leafs player, as he’s currently ranked No. 227 overall, and he could get the first look alongside Knies and Matthews on the top line, as a left-handed playmaker looking for a bounceback year.
