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

The first of my two annual audits are complete. This one has me going through every prospect in every system and see how they are doing, what their organization is saying about them, and taking a look at highlights. The second one will be in July, after the DobberProspects staff and I do another thorough review for the Fantasy Prospects Report (on sale in early May, available in mid-June).

Lots of movement this time. Huge movement. I graduated 30 players, including 22 forwards, so that alone moves the players that are lower on this list up 22 spots. If they didn’t, then you know they didn’t perform as well as they could have and could almost be considered having ‘slipped’ despite moving up a few slots.

** Coming Soon! Pre-order Dobber’s 16th annual Interactive Playoff Draft List here! **

As always, players rated between +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and you will need to determine whether you value lower upside but more immediate help versus higher upside and more risk/longer wait time. Legend: o=offensive player, os=offensive but small, p=power/big forward, t=two-way forward.

The following players graduated this month:

Cole Caufield
Anton Lundell
Alex Newhook
Matthew Boldy
Connor McMichael
Seth Jarvis
Philip Tomasino
Cole Sillinger
Dawson Mercer
Arthur Kaliyev
Vasili Podkolzin
Barrett Hayton
Alex Formenton
Joe Veleno
Kieffer Bellows
Ryan McLeod
Kristian Vesalainen
Taylor Raddysh
Jacob Peterson
Givani Smith
Mackenzie Entwistle
Justin Danforth
