Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Defensemen – July 2021

2021-07-12
Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – July edition!
The 15th annual Fantasy Prospects Report is now out! For 15 years we have been pumping out fantasy gold on over 500 prospects. At this point, we know what you want to see. Order here. Or buy it as a package and save ten bucks via the Keeper League Fantasy Pack here!
Due to work on the Prospects Report this list has been fully reviewed and audited with a thoroughness that it only gets once per year. Next month, the 2021 draftees will be added, so for some of these prospects their spot on the list may be short lived.
Players ranked within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of personal preference/team needs. Click any player name to be taken to his scouting profile.
Graduated this month: Jake Bean, CAR (12), Erik Brannstrom, OTT (3), Juuso Valimaki, CGY (5)
