Top 100 Roto Rankings: May 2022
Ian Gooding
2022-05-15
With the playoffs underway, expect only minor tweaks to the Roto Rankings for the next month or two. That being said, we still rely on your feedback. 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.
Because the regular season has ended, players injured during the playoffs will not be removed from the rankings unless the injury is serious enough to affect availability for next season.
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 2022-23 single-season leagues and are different from keeper rankings.
