Fantasy Impact: Simmonds claims to be in a better place both mentally and physically heading into the 2019-20 season. Last offseason, Simmonds was unable to workout since he had to have bilateral hernia surgery and torn abductor and hip surgery as well. Simmonds tied his career-low in points last year (30) with the Flyers and Predators. The veteran winger is optimistic this is all behind him as he looks to have a healthy and productive season with his new team the Devils.

Wayne Simmonds netted his 14th and 15th goals of the season in Philadelphia's 7-4 victory over Minnesota on Monday.

Fantasy Impact: It was a wild game with 11 goals, and Simmonds was able to grab a couple of them. It was his first multi-point game since October 16th, after he had three of them in the team's opening six games. Simmonds has not been consistent this year, nor has he been performing as well as previous years. He's still a solid option, but tender your expectations for the 30-year-old.
