Top 300 Keeper League Skaters – October 2026

Dobber

2026-10-02

Here are the top skaters to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – October edition!

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.
