Top 100 Roto Rankings: October 2021

Ian Gooding

2021-10-15

League drafts are now in the books, so where do players rank now? These rankings take into account average draft positions (ADPs) as well as actual values. You could use these rankings to compare one player to another as you evaluate your roster, make start/sit decisions, or even consider trade offers.

We're also factoring in injuries. Those players with short-term injuries will drop by a small amount, while those out longer-term will be out of the rankings completely.

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 intended for 2021-22 single-season leagues 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.
