Top 100 Roto Rankings: June 2021
Ian Gooding
2021-06-15
With the playoffs underway for the past month, there have been few changes to the Roto Rankings for June. Most notable are the addition of players injured during the 2020-21 season that should be back for the 2021-22 season. You could use these rankings if you somehow have a draft tomorrow or want to get an early start on evaluating players, but these rankings are hardly final. Expect these rankings to 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 very preliminary rankings for 2021-22 single-season drafts 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.
