Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues – coronavirus* edition!

*don’t worry, you won’t need to wear a mask and gloves to read these. Fully sanitized for your protection!

Work is well underway for the 2020 edition of the Fantasy Prospects Report. The FPR will be up for presale shortly after the NHL announces a draft date. Basically we will release the FPR on June 1-4 (sometime in there, as we scramble to put it together) if the draft is in early June. If the draft is in the fall, we will release it in July (with an update in October for the draft).

Adjustments this month have been made based on notes and profiles that have come in so far. As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and would depend on your own fantasy team’s needs and/or personal bias. The Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards were posted Tuesday (here).
