Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Defensemen – November 2018
Dobber
2018-11-16
As always, players within +/- 5.0 ratings points of each other should be considered approximate equal value and at that point become a matter of team need (wait time vs. upside) or personal bias (you simply like the guy better).
Please comment on players I may have missed in the section below. The template tracks over 250 defensemen and I added a few this month, but there are bound to be a couple of misses. At the bottom are this month's graduating players (players I deem as out of the minors for good, simple as that with no rigid hard/fast rule).
