2024 Fantasy Outlook
Danforth was a feel-good story last season, playing in a regular role at the NHL level for the first time in his age-30 season (he turned 31 on March 15). From a fantasy perspective, though, there's not much to talk about here. He had 10 goals, 26 points, 26 PIM and 109 hits in 71 outings with Columbus last season. Danforth is penciled in to serve on the Blue Jackets' third line in 2024-25, so he has the potential to put up similar numbers to his 2023-24 totals, but that's about as good as it's likely to get for him.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Danforth appeared in a half dozen games last season, potting a couple goals and adding an assist before suffering a shoulder injury in a late October contest against the Penguins which ended his year. He ended up undergoing surgery for a torn labrum, and although Danforth was back skating in February, he never returned in what was a lost season for Columbus. The good news is the 30-year-old should be fully healthy for training camp and ready to regain a job in the bottom six for the Blue Jackets, although that's not a gig that will lead to any sort of fantasy value.
