Here are the top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – February edition!
As always, players with a rating +/-5.0 points of each other should be considered equal, and at that point it becomes a matter of team needs (upside vs. wait time vs. certainty) and/or personal bias.
Lots of movement this month, as I graduated a few players. To be graduated, the player has to fulfill a long list of rigorous criteria (just kidding – I just use my gut. No rules, just my gut). Here are the players who graduated this month:
Addison Calen MIN
Power Owen BUF
Lundkvist Nils DAL
Sanderson Jake OTT
Joseph Pierre-Olivier PIT
Perbix Nick TBL
Samberg Dylan WPG
Samuelsson Mattias BUF
Mahura Josh FLA
