The Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Defensemen – September edition. Late-summer adjustments…

Not a lot of changes this month, but what adjustments you do see are based on observations done by our DobberProspects scouting staff in this summer's '30 Teams in 30 Days' feature, in which they review the pipeline of each team, rank the prospects, and give a list of 'risers' and 'fallers'. You can access those 30 feature articles by visiting here. The below list is for points-only keeper leagues. It factors in the three key things that are important in these types of leagues – upside, wait time, and NHL certainty.

You can check out the Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards, September edition, right here.

Great list, but heading into a draft this weekend I need to know where you rank these guys? Kempny (Chi)? Nelson (Buf)? Stecher (Van)?

  Assuming 15 teams in your league and you need a 9th or 10th defenseman for your squad, then I would go Nelson then Kempny. If it’s not that deep then I wouldn’t consider any.

So I guess on the next list Forsling is finally going to get some love.
