McDavid helped out on both goals in a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers might be struggling to get results right now, but McDavid is good enough to keep getting the job done even as his team flails around him. When Edmonton busts out of its slump, an already valuable player will become even more valuable to his fantasy owners.

McDavid registered an assist and four shots during Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The phenom has points in three straight and 11 on the season. He's not scoring at quite the same rate as last season's breakout campaign, but the Oilers as a whole have been struggling of late and are bound to pick things up sooner or later, so keep playing him every night.

McDavid potted his fifth goal of the season in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid didn't take long to extend his goal-scoring streak to two, lighting the lamp 10:31 into the first period to open the scoring. He got plenty of help from previously-struggling teammates in this one, as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored twice after potting just one goal coming in and Leon Draisaitl doubled his season points total with a trio of helpers. It feels like McDavid's been struggling because he went 20 days without a goal, but he's quietly amassed five goals and 10 points in nine games.

McDavid scored his first goal since his Opening Night hat trick during Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The reigning Hart Memorial winner tallied five assists over his previous six games without scoring a goal of his own. Nine points in eight games would be an incredible start for almost any player in the league, but with McDavid even more is expected. This just proves the level that the 20-year-old phenom has elevated his game to. Expect him to keep collecting points on a nightly basis.

McDavid manufactured a helper at even-strength and on the power play in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over host Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
He delivered the primary assist on the game-tying goal to Patrick Maroon in the first frame, and then he and defenseman Oscar Klefbom set up Mark Letestu's game-winner on the man advantage. Widely believed to be a generational talent, McDreamy has two multi-point games this season and he's only been held off the scoresheet once in six appearances of 2017-18.

McDavid scored three goals on seven shots versus the Flames on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Somebody's angling for a second Art Ross. Everybody knows McDavid is one of the best, if not the best, forward in the league. This is just another example of that fact, as he was directly responsible for every goal the Oilers notched in this game.

In less than two minutes, McDavid buried two goals, including one shorthanded, in Wednesday's preseason win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid already looks like he's in midseason form already. The MVP should be among the first couple picks in almost every format.

McDavid recorded his first goal of the preseason Saturday night in a 6-2 home win over the Jets. He also had a power-play assist and another at even strength.
EDGE Analysis
He flashed his wheels upon receiving the puck from Jesse Puljujarvi and then dangled in front of the net to light the lamp. McDavid's score sparked a rally that resulted in four unanswered goals to end the game. As the winner of the 2017 Hart Trophy, Art Ross Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award following a 100-point season, it's easy to justify selecting him first overall in fantasy leagues abound.

McDavid officially signed an eight-year, $100 million contract extension with the Oilers on Wednesday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
For perspective, that's $1 million for every point that the Art Ross (and Hart Memorial) trophy winner picked up in the 2016-17 season. Since McDavid still has another year left on his current contract valued at $3.775 million annually -- $8.725 million less than he'll get each year -- the Oilers have essentially locked up the generational talent for the next nine years. He'll presumably cost the fantasy hockey equivalent of gold in drafts this fall.
