Daily Faceoff’s Matt Larkin has released his annual top 300 fantasy hockey player rankings ahead of the 2025–26 NHL season, and the Toronto Maple Leafs have eight players on the list. The rankings factor in multi-category production, positional value, and projected roles heading into the season. While familiar names made the cut, there were a few surprises in terms of both placement and omissions.
Auston Matthews tops fantasy hockey rankings, William Nylander and Matthew Knies also among top Toronto Maple Leafs picks for 2025–26 NHL season
Auston Matthews was the highest-ranked Maple Leaf, coming in at No. 10 overall. Despite questions surrounding his recent injury history and the departure of Mitch Marner, Larkin sees potential for a strong bounce-back campaign. William Nylander followed at No. 19, largely due to his offensive consistency and projected increased role in the post-Marner lineup.
Matthew Knies landed at No. 59, thanks to a breakout season that featured 29 goals and 182 hits. While his power-play production was limited, his physical play and potential for increased ice time made him a standout mid-round fantasy pick. John Tavares slotted in at No. 80 after a 38-goal season, although his age and elevated shooting percentage were noted as concerns.
Leafs fantasy depth includes Anthony Stolarz, Joseph Woll, Morgan Rielly, and Matias Maccelli
Goaltender Anthony Stolarz came in at No. 88, earning recognition as Toronto’s top-ranked netminder. His numbers from last season closely mirrored those of Connor Hellebuyck, but injury concerns and his tandem role tempered expectations. Joseph Woll followed at No. 154, while Morgan Rielly and Matias Maccelli landed at Nos. 210 and 243, respectively.
In addition to the eight ranked Leafs, three others, Easton Cowan, Bobby McMann, and Max Domi were named as bubble players who could break through with strong starts to the season.
With eight players ranked in the top 300, the Maple Leafs remain a key team to watch in fantasy hockey heading into 2025–26. While stars like Matthews and Nylander remain reliable options, emerging talent like Knies and solid depth picks in net give fantasy managers several Toronto-based options across all draft tiers.
