In changing things up a little this month, I am providing the defensemen first! Look for the list of forwards to come out on Monday (Sunday will have the Top Roto Players). Click on any player to be taken to his DobberProspects player profile. As always, players rated between +/-5.0 rating points should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of personal preference and team needs.
