Fantasy Analysis
In all, the season he's having isn't all that bad; he stands at 10-31-41 with six games remaining, and those numbers are perfectly acceptable for a blueliner. The problem is that he set the bar so high with last year's 59-point campaign, and many fantasy owners drafted him in a relatively early round, looking for him to replicate that.

05/14/2012 10:54 Neutral Zone Wrap: Kings Quick to success
The conference finals are here. How will the Fantasy stars who remain perform as the Stanley Cup finals get closer and closer?
Yandle, who signed a five-year contract extension with the Coyotes heading into the 2011-12 season, finished last season third in scoring among blueliners with 11 goals and 48 assists through 82 games. Phoenix's lone representative in the All-Star Game, Yandle is showing no signs of slowing down and should be treated as one of the top defensemen in the league in fantasy drafts. Of his 59 points last season, a team-high 26 were tallied on the power play. Yandle's lone weakness stems from his tendency to stray into the offensive zone; the Coyotes would like to see him remain anchored on the blue line more consistently while still finding ways to bring his much-needed offense to the ice.
