Click any player name to be taken to his fantasy scouting profile section over at DobberProspects and get everything you need in order to evaluate the player.

As always, players ranked within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value, and at that point become a matter of your keeper team’s needs (immediate help vs long-term upside) or personal preference.

I need your help!

As many of you know, I am currently in the hospital battling leukemia. I am doing my best to keep up with what’s happening in the other leagues, but I’m only catching half of what I would normally track. If you see an omission, or a blatant oversight on this list, please draw my attention to it via the comments. Shine a spotlight on the player so that for next month I won’t miss him. Thank you!

    First let me start by saying I wish you well in your recovery.

    Secondly I wanted to ask if you think Nikishin truely is the real deal? He’s lower on your list than I would have thought. I have a offer of Raymond for my Nikishin in a cap dynasty banger league and am on the fence as i thought Nikishin would have been the #1 ranked dman on this list.

      I should mention I already have Jiricek, Zellweger, Nemec, Spence, Perunovinch, and Poirier as Dman prospect on top of Nikishin.
