Top 300 Keeper League Skaters – September 2020

Dobber

2020-09-03

Here are the top skaters to own in your points-only keeper leagues – September edition!

Some tweaks based on play over the last month, as well as injury news, plus I removed a handful of the bottom guys on my chart who I felt would never gain or regain value in these types of keeper leagues. As always, players between +/- 5.0 rating points should be considered equal and at that point become a matter of what your team needs (immediate vs. long-term help, upside, stability, etc.).

Click on any player name to be taken to his custom-built fantasy page – check it out, explore, and you will see that it has everything you need to analyze trades.

Check back tomorrow for the list of defensemen.
