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
$Signed a five-year, $16.88 million contract extension with the Capitals in January of 2024.
Three-game, five-point streak
CWashington Capitals
December 12, 2024
Protas scored twice in a 2-1 win over Columbus on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Protas has five points (three goals, two assists) during a three-game point streak. He also has a remarkable 26 points, including 11 goals, over 28 games this season. Those 26 points tie him with Connor McMichael for second on the team in scoring. Protas has been a revelation on the Capitals' top line this season, and he's continued to score without Alex Ovechkin (leg) driving the play. Protas is a worthy fantasy acquisition.

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.
