Top 100 Roto Rankings: August 2022

2022-08-15
After the frenzy that was the free agency period, offseason news has slowed to a crawl during August. That's why there aren't a ton of changes from last month. Expect more in the way of changes in September as mock drafts and real drafts start to take place.
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 preliminary rankings for 2022-23 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.
