Dobber

2025-05-24

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

Still making tweaks based on work for the upcoming Fantasy Prospects Report, there is some player movement. But first, speaking of the FPR – this will be out on June 1st! That’s just around the corner. You can pre-order it here, get it as part of the Keeper League Fantasy Pack here, or look into subscribing for further savings HERE!

Just over a week away!

As always, players within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and at that point becomes a matter of team needs and/or personal bias.
