Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen – August 2018

2018-08-10

 

Here are the Top 100 d-men to own in your points-only keeper league – August edition.

 

This month is the big one – the annual full player-by-player audit. For the Fantasy Guide I review each player's listed upside and 3YP and tweak as needed. I also put in the calculated projections into these rankings. What's left is the following keeper ranking. Where players move up/down are where I had them too high or low based on monthly manual adjustments. That's why these annual "audits" come in handy…

As always, players within plus/minus 5.0 ratings should be considered equal and at that point become a matter of personal bias and/or team needs. Look for the Top 300 Keeper Skaters list was posted yesterday (here). The Top G list was posted Tuesday (here).
