Okposo (knee) will "likely" play his first game as a Sabre on Sunday against Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo sat out Thursday's opener against Montreal after taking a puck to the knee during practice but looks ready to go for Sunday. The Sabres desperately need his presence as they'll be without Jack Eichel (high-ankle sprain) or Evander Kane (cracked ribs). He'll likely slot into the top line on the right wing with Ryan O'Reilly at center. With the Sabres missing so many key pieces, Okposo will be heavily relied on, but he's not considered a top-tier player good enough to carry a team. His fantasy value will take a slight hit but still deserves a spot as a depth scorer on your roster.
