Top 100 Roto Rankings: January 2023
Ian Gooding
2023-01-15
Believe it or not, the list of key injured players is shorter than it was last month. So it's simply a numbers game as far as players getting dropped out of the top 100 or certain hot players that didn't quite make it.
Want to find out how your players stack up against others overall and by each category in your league? Check out the Roto Ranker on Frozen Tools, where you can either use pre-set reports for common league types or your own custom categories/weights. If you enter the settings listed in the next paragraph, the Roto Ranker will show many of the names listed below – even some of the new previously unranked players.
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 should be considered rankings for the remainder of the 2022-23 season, not cumulative rankings of players so far this season. They are different from keeper rankings in that they don't extend beyond the current season. These rankings could even be used to determine relative trade value between two or more players listed.
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.
