New Jersey Devils
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Mercer has dressed in all 164 regular season games for New Jersey since debuting in the 2021-22 season. After a 42-point rookie campaign, he tallied 27 goals and 56 points last year. He also improved his rating from minus-25 to plus-22 and fired 161 shots on goal. The 21-year-old has earned a top-six role with New Jersey and will likely skate on the second line next to Nico Hischier. Mercer registered 10 power-play points during the 2022-23 campaign and will have a spot on the team's second unit again this year. If he gets a full season playing alongside Hischier and Timo Meier, Mercer should post his first 60-point performance. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
Mercer went above and beyond even the most optimistic expectations in his first NHL campaign. Playing nearly the entirety of the year at age 20, Mercer appeared in all 82 regular-season games for the Devils, posting 17 goals and 42 points. He averaged 16:32 of ice time per contest, including 1:53 per game with the man advantage. The biggest criticism regarding Mercer as a prospect was his apparent lack of foot speed, but he had no issues with the pace of the game in his freshman season. Mercer may struggle to offer redraft fantasy value in 2022-23, but he remains a fine keeper/dynasty league stash.
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils in December of 2020.
