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

Not a lot of changes this month, more about tweaking some key guys in terms of expediting their NHL-readiness (wait time).

But first – if you haven’t already – the Fantasy Guide was updated yet again with tweaks to projections, injury notes and line combinations. You can pick that up here, or get it with the Fantasy Prospects Report for a packaged discount via the Keeper League Fantasy Pack. Or just subscribe, for an even deeper discount.

As always, prospects ranked within +/-5.0 ratings of each other should be considered equal.
