Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen – June 2018
Dobber
2018-06-09
Here are the Top 100 defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues, June edition.
Just some more tweaking this month, mostly with prospects as I just completed the Fantasy Prospects Report (buy it here). Players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should generally be considered equal value and at that point it becomes a matter of personal preference and team need. For defensemen, I just pulled it straight out of the Top 300 overall list.
This is the WEEK OF RANKINGS! Thursday was the Top 100 Goalies (here), Friday was the Top 300 Keeper Skaters (here), Sunday the Top 200 Prospect Forwards and Monday the Top 50 Prospect Defensemen. Be sure to check back!
Pick up the 12th annual DobberHockey Fantasy Prospects Report here! (Hint: if you buy the Keeper League Fantasy Pack, then the Fantasy Guide works out to just an additional $2)
