Top 100 Roto Rankings: September 2022
Ian Gooding
2022-09-15
September brings drafts, whether they be real drafts or simply mock drafts. During this time, we get a better idea of what a player's value is to those who actually pick the players. Many of the adjustments to the Roto Rankings this month are related to ADP (average draft position). Hopefully these rankings will help you find value in the players you choose, as well as giving you an idea of which players are being drafted too high.
First, if you haven’t done so already, pick up the 17th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide here! Fully updated, includes the draft list spreadsheet.
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 could be used in upcoming 2022-23 single-season drafts, but they 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.
