Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen – May 2019

Dobber

2019-05-07

Here are the Top 100 defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues – May edition!

More tweaks this month, mostly based on playoff performances. As always, players ranked between +/- 5.0 rating points should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs and/or personal bias. Click any player name to be taken to their kick-ass statistical profile (charts, game logs, extra stats, most frequent linemates, etc). Check out yesterday's Top 300 skaters list here. This list was just pulled out of that one.

Available now for pre-order – the Ultimate Fantasy Pack 2019 and the Keeper League Fantasy Pack 2019.
