2025 Fantasy Outlook
Chaffee was pretty close to being a full-time NHLer in 2024-25, appearing in 66 regular-season games while earning 12 goals and 18 points. The physical forward also had 133 hits, 68 shots on net and 21 PIM, but he was a frequent healthy scratch down the stretch. Chaffee is under contract for 2025-26, but his place in the Lightning's lineup will likely depend on how Tampa Bay chooses to fill out its depth spots. The team's propensity to go with seven defensemen could also affect Chaffee's playing time. He'll be a physical force when he plays and can add some depth scoring, but he probably won't be a factor in most fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract with the Lightning in May of 2024.
Nets two goals in AHL win
Chaffee scored a pair of goals in AHL Syracuse's 3-2 win over Laval on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Chaffee has a six-game point streak going after initially struggling upon his return to the Crunch in late October. The 27-year-old forward has three goals, four assists and 21 shots on net over eight appearances. He was waived by the Lightning after beginning the year with no points in seven NHL games, but a strong showing in the AHL could help him get back up to the big club later in the campaign.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chaffee split the 2023-24 regular season between Tampa Bay and AHL Syracuse, providing seven points (four goals) in 30 contests with the Lightning and 26 points (12 goals) in 36 minor-league outings. The 26-year-old will compete for a bottom-six spot with Tampa Bay during training camp, and he might earn that role. Under ideal circumstances, Chaffee can earn 20-30 points in 2024-25, but he might not get enough work to reach that level of offensive production.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get look with big club
Michael Russo of The Athletic believes Chaffee could get a look with the Wild if the team needs to rest players down the stretch.
ANALYSIS
Chaffee has racked up 20 goals and 35 points through 40 AHL appearances this year, so he's obviously a logical candidate for a call-up if the need arises during the last few weeks of the season.
