2025 Fantasy Outlook
Faber had plenty of hype coming into 2024-25, but he instead experienced a bit of a sophomore slump, dropping from 47 to 29 points in his second campaign. He's still a massive presence on the Wild's blue line, but it's possible his defensive acumen will be costly to his scoring potential at times. That becomes a larger concern if Zeev Buium begins 2025-26 in the NHL, where he'll likely displace Faber from being an option on the first power-play unit. For now, it's not worth reading too much into Faber's drop in offense from one year to the next, as he's just entering his age-23 season and should be able to continue to grow his game. That means Faber should be rostered in most fantasy formats for his upside alone. Read Past Outlooks
Signed an eight-year, $68 million contract with the Wild in July of 2024.
Sparks comeback Saturday
Faber scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
Faber has three goals and two assists over his last six games. His offense has picked a good time to return -- he had just one goal over 15 contests in March. The 22-year-old defenseman is up to 10 goals, 29 points, 115 shots on net, 114 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 77 appearances. Faber continues to see heavy minutes as the Wild's top overall blueliner despite failing to replicate his 47-point performance from 2023-24.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Faber had a fantastic rookie season with the Wild in 2023-24, providing eight goals and 47 points in 82 games. He also had a minus-one rating, 26 PIM, 65 hits and ranked second among Minnesota players in blocks with 150 while averaging a team-high 24:58 of ice time that included prominent roles on both the power play and in shorthanded situations. That versatility helped him finish second in Calder Trophy voting and should lead to him being a pillar of the Wild's blue line for years to come. Still just 22 years old, Minnesota will get Faber for one more season on an entry-level deal before his eight-year, $68 million contract extension kicks in. Look for him to help earn that payday by supplying another 45-55 points this season while blocking well over 125 shots.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might return against Preds
Faber, who has been sidelined with an upper-body injury, could be an option versus Nashville on Saturday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Faber has missed four games due to his upper-body issue but seems to be trending in the right direction. The 22-year-old blueliner is slightly off his pace from last season, when he racked up 47 points in 82 regular-season games as a rookie. Still, as long as Faber doesn't miss significantly more time, he should once again top the 40-point threshold.
