Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only keeper league – February edition!
As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point are a matter of team needs or personal bias. Below the chart I listed this month's graduates, as well as a list of new prospects I added to my template of over 800 players.
Friday I posted the Top 200 fantasy prospect forwards (points-only) and you can check that list out right here.
