Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues – October edition (and it’s a big one…)

They’re here!

The 2020 Draftees are now in the template, and this is how they shake out. Enjoy!

Remember – players rated within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and you would then need to decide on the right balance of upside, wait time and certainty that your team needs. Check out the Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards posted Saturday here.

The Fantasy Hockey Guide is coming out on October 30th! The Fantasy Prospects Report was updated on October 8th and you can download it right now! Get both of these items in our Keeper League Fantasy Pack here right now. This is Year 15 on the Fantasy Guide and Year 14 on the FPR.

Thank you for supporting the all-free Dobber Sports Network of sites!
