Brock Faber

22-Year-Old DefensemanD
Minnesota Wild
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Faber had a fantastic rookie season with the Wild in 2023-24, providing eight goals and 47 points in 82 games. He also had a minus-one rating, 26 PIM, 65 hits and ranked second among Minnesota players in blocks with 150 while averaging a team-high 24:58 of ice time that included prominent roles on both the power play and in shorthanded situations. That versatility helped him finish second in Calder Trophy voting and should lead to him being a pillar of the Wild's blue line for years to come. Still just 22 years old, Minnesota will get Faber for one more season on an entry-level deal before his eight-year, $68 million contract extension kicks in. Look for him to help earn that payday by supplying another 45-55 points this season while blocking well over 125 shots. Read Past Outlooks

Sparks comeback Saturday
DMinnesota Wild
April 12, 2025
Faber scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
Faber has three goals and two assists over his last six games. His offense has picked a good time to return -- he had just one goal over 15 contests in March. The 22-year-old defenseman is up to 10 goals, 29 points, 115 shots on net, 114 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 77 appearances. Faber continues to see heavy minutes as the Wild's top overall blueliner despite failing to replicate his 47-point performance from 2023-24.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A former standout at both the University of Minnesota and for Team USA at multiple World Junior tournaments, Faber turned pro following his junior season with the Gophers and appeared in two games for the Wild late in the year in addition to all six of their playoff contests. Faber is a strong skater with an excellent work ethic, but it's highly unlikely he will see enough power-play time to amass any fantasy value at the NHL level. That said, the 21-year-old is a future top-four defender for the Wild, likely beginning this upcoming season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might return against Preds
DMinnesota Wild
January 16, 2025
Faber, who has been sidelined with an upper-body injury, could be an option versus Nashville on Saturday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Faber has missed four games due to his upper-body issue but seems to be trending in the right direction. The 22-year-old blueliner is slightly off his pace from last season, when he racked up 47 points in 82 regular-season games as a rookie. Still, as long as Faber doesn't miss significantly more time, he should once again top the 40-point threshold.
