Here are the Top 120 defensemen to own in our points-only keeper leagues – November edition! *NOW AVAILABLE* Pick up the 15th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide for immediate download here!
Not a lot changed this month because, well, not a lot has happened over the last month. But, you’re dying for your fantasy rankings fix and I’m your pusher. As always, players between +/-5.0 ratings points should be considered equal value, and at that point become a matter of personal bias or team needs. Click any player name to be taken to his player profile page – a page where Eric Daoust and I customized to suit the fantasy owner. And as fantasy owners ourselves, we know what the fantasy owner wants – and we built it! So check them out.
