Top 100 Roto Rankings: May 2021

Ian Gooding

2021-05-15

At the time these rankings are posted, a few North Division teams will not have completed their season yet. However, the playoffs will be about to start for other teams. So consider these adjusted rankings for the end of the 2020-21 season. These rankings will be updated further throughout the summer as free agent signings and trades occur so they can eventually be used for 2021-22 drafts.     

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%. These rankings are for what's left of the 2020-21 season (playoffs not included) and are different from keeper rankings.

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.
