Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen – October 2018

Dobber

2018-10-02

Here are the Top 100 defensemen to own in your points-only keeper league – October edition.

This month factors in much of the training camp news, cuts, injuries and surprise prospects. For these rankings I just pull them out of the overall Top 300 Players list (find them here)

* * Buy the 13th annual DobberHockey Fantasy Guide here – always updated and you can download immediately * *

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.

Click on a player name to be taken to his sweet new fantasy hockey profile (and bookmark that section because you'll be referring to it often because it's pretty awesome). I also added five bonus players to this list, as they were worthy of being mentioned.
