Hyman scored a goal and an assist, adding three shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating, in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old continues to be somewhat miscast as a top-line winger, but coach Mike Babcock likes the energy he brings alongside Auston Matthews and William Nylander at even strength, and once in a while Hyman is rewarded for his efforts on the scoresheet. He now has eight goals and 25 points through 48 games, but his plus-15 rating remains his biggest contribution as a fantasy asset.

Hyman picked up two assists through 19:25 of ice time during Tuesday's 8-1 win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
The industrious winger is a relentless puck hound in the offensive zone and has proven to be capable of creating space and generating scoring opportunities for himself and teammates. Unfortunately, it hasn't consistently translated to scoresheet appearances, as Hyman has just six goals and 18 points for the campaign. In the majority of settings those numbers don't tilt the fantasy scales, but he's still worth a look in deeper formats.

Hyman scored the Leafs' only goal in a 1-0 shutout of Edmonton on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
The goal came on the game's first shift. Jake Gardiner fired a point shot and Hyman was Zach-on-the-spot with a beauty tip. It was Hyman's sixth goal and first in seven games. He's pacing toward a 40-point season, so he does bring value to deep formats. Unfortunately, Hyman doesn't deliver anything but even-strength points, so his production is a bit hollow.

Hyman netted a goal in Friday's 5-4 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The goal ended Hyman's 13-game goal drought, giving him five goals and seven assists on the year. He also helped fill the scoresheet with two hits and a blocked shot. Hyman is on pace to surpass last season's total of 28 points. If he can string together more nights like these, then he should be worth more consideration, aside from the Selke.

Hyman scored his fourth goal of the season in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
He continues to see time beside Auston Matthews and has delivered six points in 10 games. Hyman fits coach Mike Babcock's game to a T, so he'll continue to get top-line exposure going forward. And at this point, Hyman is tracking toward a 50-point season. That's valuable on a deep fantasy lineup.

Hyman continues to skate on the Leafs' top line with William Nylander and Auston Matthews this preseason.
EDGE Analysis
It was thought that newcomer Patrick Marleau might take his spot, but coach Mike Babcock loves Hyman's gritty, go-in-the-dirty-spots kind of game. Hyman's fantasy value gets an immediate uptick, but remember -- he won't get power-play time on a team that is loaded for bear on offence. Still, he should be a solid, late-round selection for those in deep leagues.

Hyman has signed a four-year, $9 million extension with the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman just recently finished his second season in Toronto, taking part in a career-high 82 games, while recording 10 goals and 18 assists. While it wasn't an overly exciting season for Hyman, he still did enough to earn himself a pay raise and some job security, so he should be poised to secure a starting role on the wing heading into the 2017-18 campaign.

Hyman scored shorthanded and added an assist at even strength in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman's tally 3:32 into the third turned into the game-winner when Florida scored on a separate power play in the final minute. Four of the 24-year-old center's ten goals this season have come shorthanded, putting him one back of Nashville's Victor Arvidsson for the league lead. Hyman has otherwise had a pedestrian campaign, with this being just his third multi-point effort in 75 appearances.

Hyman picked up an assist in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman continues to ride shotgun with Auston Matthews, but the points are few and far between these days. The assist was his first point in six games and third in his last 19 games.

Hyman is mired in a nine-game point drought.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman continues to have great chemistry with Auston Matthews and he's becoming a go-to guy on the penalty kill for coach Mike Babcock. But like many young players, Hyman is likely struggling with the weight of a long and heavy NHL schedule. This is just Hyman's second season beyond NCAA, a league where teams play 35-40 games a season. Hyman will be solid filler in fantasy, but right now, he shouldn't be in your active lineup.
