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

Two-point effort in OT loss
CWashington Capitals
November 14, 2024
Protas scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
ANALYSIS
His tally late in the second period gave Washington a 3-1 lead, but the game was all Toronto down the stretch. Protas is capitalizing on his spot at even strength alongside Alex Ovechkin, and the 23-year-old has four multi-point performances in the last eight games, piling up five goals and 11 points during that time. However, that production has come without the benefit of consistent power-play shifts, and Protas' 23.1 percent shooting is unsustainable.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
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. With Nicklas Backstrom, who has a hip injury, and Tom Wilson, who is dealing with a knee injury, close to returning to the Capitals' lineup, Protas might be reassigned to the minors in the not too distant future.
