2025 Fantasy Outlook
Samberg reached the 20-point mark for the first time in his career despite being limited to 60 regular-season appearances. Part of his success can be attributed to the Jets' overall play, but Samberg stepped up in his third full season, particularly as a steadying influence. It's unlikely he blossoms much more offensively, but he is a virtual lock as a top-four defenseman, once he recovers from a broken wrist suffered during preseason, who can chip in some points while adding 100-plus blocked shots and a plus-minus rating that is heavily on the positive side. Samberg is the type of player who can be an option in the deepest of fantasy formats, especially those that count blocks, but the 20-25 point range is likely his peak. Read Past Outlooks

November 29, 2025
Samberg had three assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
ANALYSIS
Samberg had a hand in both of Nino Niederreiter's goals and assisted on Gabriel Vilardi's opening goal. After missing the first 16 games of the year due to a broken wrist, Samberg went seven straight contests without a point. He finally got on the scoresheet in Saturday's win. He also has eight shots on goal, 17 blocked shots and seven hits this campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2018
Never known as much of an offensive threat, Samberg has developed into a steady, stay-at-home defender for the Jets. He did produce a career-high 18 points in 78 regular-season games this past year, but Samberg's main contributions came in his own zone. Still just 25 years of age, it's reasonable to expect further growth from the Minnesota native, but it almost certainly won't be enough to generate fantasy value, especially when you take into account Samberg's middling numbers in the hit and block departments.
While far from lighting up the scoresheet, Samberg produced a solid eight points with 91 hits, 93 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 63 games in 2022-23. The Jets rewarded him with a two-year contract, so there's a good chance he'll be in the lineup more often than not going forward. At 24 years old, there's still a little room to grow for the second-round pick from 2017. Samberg may never have stellar scoring numbers, but he's a solid bottom-four blueliner who could move up the lineup if injuries strike. Aside from the physical production, his fantasy prospects are limited in most formats.
Samberg made his NHL debut for the Jets last season, playing in 15 games and picking up five assists. The majority of his action came late in the year when Winnipeg was eliminated from playoff contention. Samberg is a big-bodied, stay-at-home defender and a physical presence. The offensive numbers he posted in his brief trial run were misleading. This is a player who might post 15-20 points over the course of a full NHL season. The 23-year-old has little to no fantasy value, even in keeper/dynasty formats.
Selected by the Jets with the 43rd overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, Samberg will return to the University of Minnesota-Duluth for the upcoming season. Having said that, if he puts together another solid campaign -- he notched 13 points in 42 games last year for the Bulldogs -- the 19-year-old could sign his entry-level deal after the college season and link up with Winnipeg for the last few games of 2018-19.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might return Thursday
DWinnipeg Jets
November 13, 2025
Samberg, who hasn't played in 2025-26 due to a wrist injury, might make his return Thursday in Seattle based on his role in the morning skate, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Samberg had six goals, 20 points, 28 PIM, 95 shots, 56 hits and 120 blocks in 2024-25. He is expected to serve in a top-four capacity when he's healthy, and he'll likely play on the second pairing alongside Neal Pionk if he does return Thursday. However, Samberg doesn't generate a lot of offense and might not have a regular spot on a power-play unit this season.
