EDGE Analysis

Matthews wasn't expected to be sidelined for long with the illness that prevented him from appearing at a player media event in New York last week, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see him back in action for the first day of Toronto's training camp. The budding superstar, who racked up 40 goals and 29 assists as a rookie in 2016-17, is an elite option in all fantasy formats.
