Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen – October 2016
Dobber
2016-10-03
The Top 100 defensemen to own in a points-only keeper league. October edition
These 100 defensemen were pulled directly from the Top 300 list that was posted Saturday. Because it's points-only, and positions aren't a factor, giving dmen their own list just makes sense. Criteria and factors are the same as that found in the Top 300 here. Please keep in mind that +/- 5.0 rating points here indicate that the defensemen are pretty much equal – so if you're looking at Del Zotto for example, everyone from Colin Miller down to Kris Russell (not on the list, but ranks 117th) are pretty much the same. The players within that range (i.e. similar players) have their own pros and cons (maybe one player gets hurt a lot, or another has more upside, or another is a nice, steady, reliable but low-ceiling option).

What changed your mind on Slavin to get him ranked this month? Or was it just an oversight? Glad to see him here because I took him 2 weeks ago as my last pick in the draft. I was starting to think I made a mistake seemed like absolutely no one was talking about him.
