And now onto the list. I’ve been doing a full audit of my list, as I do every year leading up the work on the Fantasy Prospects Report. It is very time consuming and I haven’t yet finished. But I wanted to get something up for March. Some teams (i.e. the latter half of the alphabet) have not been adjust yet. The April version will be complete. Legend: o=offensive forward, os=offensive, but small, t=two-way forward, p=power or big forward.

As always – players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal, and valued based on your team needs.
