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

In case you missed the Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards, you can find that list here.

Thank you everyone for supporting this free website and picking up the 15th (15th!!) annual Fantasy Hockey Guide and Draft List. If you haven’t picked it up already, you can do so here.

As always, prospects between +/-5.0 ratings points should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs or personal bias. If you need a player sooner at the cost of lower upside versus waiting a little longer for the better upside, etc.
