EDGE Analysis

DeMelo (lower body) practiced in a regular jersey Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's far from a guarantee, the fact that DeMelo was cleared for contact is certainly a step in the right direction. If the defenseman is held out versus the Flyers on Tuesday, he will have until after the All-Star break to get back to 100 percent.

DeMelo (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo won't be eligible to return until next Tuesday's game versus the Flyers. The 28-year-old defenseman has just four points in 36 contests, so he's unlikely to be missed much in fantasy.

EDGE Analysis

DeMelo has just one point in his last 21 games, so few fantasy players should be impacted by continued absence. Even once cleared to play, DeMelo figures to remain a low-end fantasy target.

DeMelo (lower body) was ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Sara Orlesky of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The defenseman has been in COVID-19 protocols since last Thursday. DeMelo's being a game-time decision suggests he's cleared protocols but may not be conditioned to take the ice Thursday. If unavailable Thursday, he'd presumably re-enter the lineup Saturday versus Ottawa.

DeMelo was placed on the Jets' COVID-19 protocols list Thursday and will not play against the Avalanche, per Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun.
