2025 Fantasy Outlook
Colton suffered a few injuries in 2024-25, including a broken foot and a pulled groin. That limited him to 61 regular-season games and also kept him out of the playoffs. Those significant absences led to him producing just 29 points in 61 contests, which is fine offense, but it was his lowest total in the last four years. Colton has a harder path to top-six minutes, which will likely have to come on the wing after the Avalanche acquired Brock Nelson to improve the team's center depth. He can still move up to cover for injury absences, but Colton isn't much of an option in most fantasy formats if he's stuck on the third line, though he can make up for a lack of scoring with his hitting, as he's exceeded 140 hits in four straight years.

Nets opening goal in win
Colton scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Mammoth.
ANALYSIS
Colton tallied midway through the first period to open the scoring. The 29-year-old has been playing on the wing in a third-line role to begin 2025-26, and he's unlikely to see a larger role as long as the Avalanche stay relatively healthy at forward. He's picked up four hits and five shots on net over two games. Colton exceeded 30 points in three straight years before just missing that mark in the 2024-25 regular season, so he has some appeal in deeper fantasy formats, especially in those that count hits.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Colton's first season in Colorado was a fairly successful one, as he managed to rack up 17 goals and 23 assists for a career-high 40 points. It was the third straight season in which the versatile forward was able to reach the 30-point threshold. On the power play, the New Jersey native had a fairly minimal impact, recording three goals and two assists with the man advantage, but he should keep his role with the second unit heading into the 2024-25 campaign. As such, Colton figures to be a decent depth option in fantasy with a slightly higher ceiling thanks to being a part of Colorado's high-powered offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Target for Nashville?
Colton could be a trade target for the Predators, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.
ANALYSIS
Colton has a no-trade clause that kicks in July 1, but it's rumored the Avalanche are looking to deal the forward. The Predators could deploy Colton in a middle-six role, though his $4 million cap hit would make him Nashville's third-highest-paid forward if the Avalanche don't retain salary.
