Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – January edition!

Out January 12 – pre-order now! The 16th annual Midseason Fantasy Hockey Guide (order it here). Available Friday evening – which, as of posting this, is tomorrow!

As always, players with a rating within +/-5.0 of each other should be considered equal value, and at that point become a matter of your team’s need (rebuild vs. immediate, certain vs. risk, etc.) and/or personal bias.
