#9 Filip Forsberg

Filip Forsberg rounds out my top picks for Nashville Predators fantasy players. The only concern with having Forsberg on your team would be his ability to stay healthy. Providing he is not injured; Forsberg is an elite playmaker and goal scorer anytime he is on the ice.

Averaging nearly a point per game over the past three seasons, including the 2021-22 season where he put up a career high 84 points in 69 games, Forsberg has the ability to earn fantasy points every time he laces up his skates.

While only skating in 50 games during the 2022-23 season, Forsberg still managed to score 19 goals and tally 23 assists.

Forsberg is known to be a streaky type of player and if he can start the season off scoring, you should expect him to continue to score often throughout the course of the season.

Again, the only downfall to having Forsberg on your team is his struggle with injuries as of late. His 69 games during the 2021-22 campaign were the most he had played since he played all 82 games during the 2016-17 Predators season.

Even with knowing that, if Forsberg is around during my late second round or third round draft, he will be on my roster.

With the new talent that is coming to this Nashville Predators roster, Forsberg will be surrounded by even more players that have the potential to create more scoring chances for the Swedish forward.
