2024 Fantasy Outlook
After missing just one regular-season game over the past two seasons, Schneider cashed in this offseason to the tune of a two-year, $4.4 million contract with the Rangers this summer. Offensively, the blueliner is limited at best, having failed to reach the 20-point threshold in his three-year NHL career. The shutdown defenseman doesn't rack up a lot of PIM, recording just 16 minutes in each of the previous two seasons, despite dishing out plenty of hits (167) while also averaging a mere 15:54 of ice time during the 2023-24 campaign. In scoring-heavy formats, Schneider is a poor option but could offer more in leagues that utilize those ancillary stats. Read Past Outlooks

December 7, 2024
Schneider notched an assist and five blocked shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
ANALYSIS
Schneider saw a season-high 21:48 of ice time in the win, and that's likely to be the norm moving forward after the Rangers dealt Jacob Trouba to the Ducks on Friday. More ice time is likely to help Schneider's offense as well, though that won't be a priority for the 23-year-old blueliner. He has nine points, 35 shots on net, 34 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 25 appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Schneider logged his first full NHL campaign last year, racking up 18 points, 147 hits and 130 blocked shots while averaging 15:43 of ice time per game over 81 contests. He saw the bulk of his minutes on the third pairing, as the Rangers rolled with an established top four that left him little room to advance. Schneider is likely to remain in a similar role in 2023-24, so there's not a lot of growth to be expected for the 19th overall pick from the 2020 draft. His physical play may earn him some interest in deeper fantasy formats, but no one should expect him to challenge for much more than 20 points.
Schneider made his NHL debut in January and scored a goal in his first game. He added just one more tally and 10 helpers in 42 additional regular-season games, but he was a regular for the Rangers the rest of the way, including playing in all 20 of the club's postseason contests. Schneider is a throwback. He's a stay-at-home, physical defender that is unlikely to ever top 25-30 points in a single season. Of course, Schneider will play this entire season at age 21, so perhaps we'll see some improvement in that area. He'll again be a regular for the Rangers in 2022-23.
