Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen – September 2020

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

Curated directly from the overall Top 300 skaters list (posted Thursday here), these defensemen are valuable based on their ability to either reach at least 35 points in the year ahead, have ‘some’ odds of doing so, or could potentially do so down the road (factoring in wait time for this). As always, players ranked within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and become a matter of your team’s need or your personal preference.
