Here are the Top 200 forwards to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – April edition!

As always, players ranked within +/- 5.0 ratings of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs (wait time or upside more important?) and personal bias.

o=offensive forward, t=two-way, os=offense, but small, p=power forward
