Top 50 NHL Fantasy Hockey Defensemen Rankings - February 2023 3.0

February 2023 NHL fantasy hockey defensemen rankings update 3.0.

Our fantasy hockey defensemen rankings project value for the next 1 to 2 seasons, and consider each player's track record, upside, age, team and injury history. Because fantasy league categories vary widely, these rankings focus on point production. Notes made in previous rankings may carry over to new rankings if they remain relevant.
