Max Jones

Jones is just 23 years old and has potential long-term value as a power forward, but it's pretty safe to say at this point he's destined for a depth role with the Ducks. Jones has played 135 games for Anaheim over the past three years, posting 17 goals, 28 points and a minus-16 rating. Jones should post upwards of 150 hits over the course of a full 82-game campaign, but there simply isn't enough production here to justify spending a draft pick on Jones in most fantasy formats.

Jones struggled a bit in 2019-20, posting just eight goals and four assists in 59 appearances. The winger was prone to the occasional healthy scratch for his inconsistent play, although he did impress with 82 hits and 36 PIM. He may end up playing a similar grinder role if his offense doesn't take off in 2020-21 -- he frequently saw third-line duties last year. The first-round pick from 2016 will need to outplay Danton Heinen if he wants to see a larger role. Jones shouldn't be expected to post more than 20 points next year on an Anaheim team that is still navigating through the growing pains of its rebuild.

Jones earned his first NHL call-up in January, recording two goals and three assists in 30 games with Anaheim. The 2016 first-round pick also added 33 points in 51 games with AHL San Diego last season. Jones wasn't expected to make much of an impact with the parent club last year, but he'll one of many prospects who will have a chance to earn ice time in 2019-20. The 21-year-old winger will compete for a bottom-six role during training camp, but it wouldn't be surprising to seem him begin the year in the minors. Either way, he won't have enough offensive upside to be considered a viable option in the vast majority of fantasy formats this campaign.
