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

The 2022 draftees are in. About 100 players were added to the template, and just when I finished… all the RFA qualifying offer news started coming out and I made those adjustments as well.

As always, players ranked between +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point become a matter of team need (wait time vs. certainty vs. upside) or personal bias.

And don’t forget – pick up the Fantasy Prospects Report here, or grab the FPR and the Fantasy Guide in our Keeper League Fantasy Pack here.
