Fantasy Hockey: Nov. 26-Dec. 2 rankings from an advanced computer model

Before setting your Fantasy hockey lineups for Nov. 26-Dec. 2, you need to see what SportsLine's advanced computer model has to say. Their model simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, taking factors like matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account to compile weekly Fantasy hockey rankings that are a must-see for any Fantasy hockey player.

The model can help guide you as you look to stake yourself an early lead in your Fantasy hockey leagues. In head-to-head matchups where there are wins and losses at stake in every category weekly, you'll need these Fantasy hockey rankings to help get maximum value out of your lineup.

Last week, the model's rankings nailed it by ranking Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak in its top-30 option. The rookie making his debut was owned in just one percent of leagues going into the week. All he has done is dish out a couple of assists and earn a plus-six rating (tied for second among all defenseman) on his way to a top-10 week and he still has a game left.

One player the model loves for Week 9 of the fantasy hockey season (Nov. 26-Dec. 2): Wild right wing Mikael Granlund. The model also likes Wild center Eric Staal in Week 9.

The model is also calling for a surprising goalie owned in just seven percent of Fantasy hockey leagues to finish as a top-six goalie in hockey this week. This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You absolutely need to see it before you lock in your lineups.

So who should you sit and start this week? And where does every player stack up?... Join SportsLine right now to get Fantasy hockey rankings for every single position, and see which shocking goalie finishes top six this week, all from an advanced computer model!
