As such, perhaps it's not surprising to see the 29-year-old winger once again dealing with an injury.

Considering the 29-year-old winger has played in just 52 regular-season games over the last two years, fantasy players may want to take a cautious approach to utilizing him in season-long formats. Still, when healthy, Milano could push for a middle-six role while offering decent fantasy upside.
