Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards – February 2019

Dobber

2019-02-15

Here are the Top 200 prospects to own in your points-only keeper league – February edition!

As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point are a matter of team needs or personal bias. These rankings are late this month due to a thorough review of each team's depth chart in an effort to find any players with fantasy upside that I didn't yet have on my template. Yep, I always have an excuse for my tardiness. But I started the process on the 8th (two days in advance) and just kind of lost myself in it. I didn't want to do 10 teams thoroughly and then whip through the rest. So here we are. My Twitter followers did get an update on this:

Just a note regarding this month's #fantasyhockey prospect rankings. I've been carefully reviewing each team's full depth chart and all the players not currently tracked on my template. I'm adding players who have popped this year. It's taken several days so far

I hope to finish tonight for posting tomorrow, but may need another day. Top end should remain relatively similar, but bottom half of the Top 200 will have some new names.

It turns out that only a couple of newcomers actually cracked the list (although a few lower-ranked players I was able to catch their great seasons and bump them up into the Top 200). So what I've done is presented a list at the bottom of new players I added to the template. The Top 50 fantasy prospect defensemen will be up on Sunday.

o= offensive player, t=two-way, p=power forward and big man, os=offensive player, but small
