The Top 60 Keeper League Defensemen – June 2016
These defensemen were pulled from the Top 300 Keeper League Players list. Get details on criteria (points-only keeper leagues – and other factors) here. Moved to a Top 60 format – once I got beyond that, I didn't like how the formula was working. Over the summer I will look to tweak it.
