McDavid did not attend Monday's practice due to illness, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering the Oilers are off until Wednesday, fantasy owners can probably relax regarding McDavid's status for the matchup with the Flyers. In the event the Richmond Hill, Ontario native is not available versus Philadelphia, Leon Draisaitl or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins could get a shot at the top-line center role.

McDavid racked up two assists in Sunday's win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid has been split up from linemate Draisaitl and is now centering Milan Lucic and Michael Cammalleri. It's unclear how long this experiment will last, but McDavid is fantasy gold no matter who he plays with. The 20-year-old has piled up eight points in his last five contests and is now up to 10 goals and 20 assists in 24 games. You know what to do.

McDavid finished with two assists and a plus-2 rating during Wednesday's 6-2 rout of the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers captain managed to rise above an illness that caused him to miss practice earlier in the week and picked up his sixth assist and ninth point over the last five games. The first player off the board in many fantasy drafts should be played without hesitation -- clearly, a little illness hasn't slowed him down.

McDavid is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday, despite missing Monday's practice due to illness, per Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network.
EDGE Analysis
No doubt fantasy owners began to panic when news of McDavid's absence from practice broke, but rest assured, he is not expected to miss any game time and has reportedly been dealing with this malady for some time, according to Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal. If the center was under the weather during Saturday's clash with Dallas, it clearly didn't show, as he racked up three points -- including a power-play goal.

McDavid scored a power-play goal and added two assists, including one shorthanded, in a 6-3 loss to the Stars on Saturday afternoon.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid continues to pad his individual stats, but he those aren't enough to get the Oil into the win column. He has 28 points, including 12 goals, in 21 games, which puts him on pace for 110 points. That's great for fantasy, but McDavid needs to grow his game on the ice to deliver team success.

McDavid scored twice and added an assist in Tuesday's blowout victory over Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers exploded for seven goals and McDavid was right in the middle of it. The 20-year-old superstar has been held off the scoresheet just twice in his last 11 games and is now up to nine goals and 22 points in 18 contests. With Edmonton finally getting the offense going, McDavid is very capable of turning it up even more in the near-future. You already know what to do.

McDavid recorded three assists (one on the power play) during Friday's 6-3 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
The trio of helpers extended McDavid's point streak to five games and improved him to five goals and 16 points for the campaign. The Oilers entered Friday's contest as the lowest scoring team (2.18 goals per game) in the league, so exploding for six tallies on the back of McDavid's three-point night is encouraging. Additionally, if Edmonton shows an uptick in offense it should help No. 97's fantasy upside moving forward.
