Here are the Top 50 defensemen to own in your points-only keeper league – July edition!

This month the new draftees are in! This year's crop was heavier in terms of high-upside defensemen so they really made waves today (as opposed to the list of forwards posted Wednesday). As always, players within +/- 5.0 ratings of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of personal preference or team needs. o=offense, os=offensive small, p=power forward t=two-way

Pick up the 12th annual Fantasy Prospects Report with full profiles on all the players and more details on their upsides, as part of the Keeper League Fantasy Pack (with this summer's 13th annual Fantasy Guide).
