Top 100 Roto Rankings – January 2021

Ian Gooding

2021-01-02

With many fantasy drafts taking place just before the season start date of January 13, this month's Roto Rankings have been released earlier than normal. This will account for updates related to player projections in roto categories as well as where players are typically being drafted. We hope that you can use these rankings as a guide in your fantasy draft.

***Pick up the 15th annual (!) DobberHockey Fantasy Guide – updated through today now! Includes draft list spreadsheet and 168-page PDF***

Keep in mind that these are single-season rankings for a head-to-head or rotisserie league using the following settings: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HIT, W, GAA, SV%.

Are there any players that you believe are ranked too high or too low? Did we miss anyone in the top 100, or is there a player there that probably shouldn't be? Let us know in the comments below, and we will consider your feedback when compiling next month's rankings.
