Here are the Top 50 prospect defensement to own in your points-only keeper league – December edition!

As noted in yesterday’s post (Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards – here), I ran into an issue this month and it took nearly two weeks to fix. I won’t rehash that here!

As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value, and become a matter of team need or personal bias.
