Top 100 Rotisserie Players – October 2015

Mike McMillan

2015-10-15

The NHL regular season is here and the October Top 100 Roto rankings are back to guide your team to a rotisserie league fantasy hockey championship.

Player values for the Top 100 Roto Rankings are generated by the guys at FantasyHockeyGeek.com and are weighted over multiple years to determine a player's production consistency. We use their per-game averages to account for player who have missed time in the past due to injury, this is then weighted against the DobberHockey player projections to boil down the evaluations into one single number and rank the top 100 players in fantasy hockey (forwards and defensemen only).

The categories included in the values are G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, and Hits.

As we navigate through the NHL season the values will be adjusted to include current season production, weighted at a progressively increasing percentage. To add a predictive element, we take a look at which players are likely to regress back to career averages and which players are due for hot streak over the course of the season using PDO and shooting percentages.

Being only a few games into the season, we don’t have enough data from to use shooting percentage to predict a player's production yet. For the October edition of the Top 100 Roto Rankings we’ll look at what a player has typically shot in his career and analyze the difference every month moving forward. Over the course of an 82 game season, players will typically end up around their career average in shooting percentage so if Sidney Crosby is sitting at 3.0% shooting in November but his CSH% is 14.4, we know he’ll get a scoring boost in the coming weeks.

As a quick reminder, a PDO of 100 means that when a player is on the ice both goalies are letting in shots at the same rate. If your opponent's goalie is letting in shots at a much higher rate, that can be a mix of talent or luck but is usually at least somewhat lucky. Thus, a player with a PDO of below 100, he should have some lucky bounces coming his way in the future. However, we are looking at the top 100 players in the world, so their PDO will probably be a bit above 100, but not by much. A PDO in the below 95 is a great sign to buy low. For the October edition we’ll look at the career average as a starting point and the differential every month moving forward.

Here is the October Top 100 Roto…

Fantasy Hockey Life: Western Conference Buys and Sells

Victor and Jesse make the rounds of the Western Conference with an argument on opne buy and one sell for each team. We talk Jackson LaCombe, Mason McTavish, Martin Pospisil, Nazem Kadri, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Matthew Savoie, Drew Doughty, Kevin Fiala, William Eklund, Thomas Bordeleau, Shane Wright, Chandler Stephenson, Tom Willander, Jake DeBrusk, Victor Olofsson, Noah […]

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins

Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
