Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen – December 2018

Dobber

2018-12-05

Here are the Top 100 defensemen to own in your points-only keeper league – December edition. We have a new leader!

 

This list was curated directly from the Top 300 skaters list, which was posted Tuesday. The criterion were noted in that post.

 

Players within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal (which essentially means that the players ranked between 92 and 136 are actually of equal value, with each player carrying varying differences of wait time, risk/reliability, immediate production, upside, etc). At this point the decision lies on your comfort level with risk, team needs, personal bias, etc.
