Top 100 Roto Rankings – February 2021
Ian Gooding
2021-02-15
It's hard to believe that we're already a month into the season. Since the last Roto Rankings were released in early January, you'll find updates on most players on this list. If some of the fast starters that aren't on this list can keep their current levels of production, they may find themselves on this list next month. That's why there have been very few changes as to who leaves the top 100, other than the most obvious names.
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.
