Top 100 Roto Rankings: March 2024
Ian Gooding
2024-03-15
As we head into the final month of the regular season, player rankings remain fairly settled. That is why you won't see many changes again this month, particularly at the top.
The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Penalty Minutes, Hits, and Blocked Shots. These rankings are different from keeper rankings in that they don't extend beyond the current season. As well, these are projected player values for the rest of the season and not entirely based on production so far this season. These rankings could even be used to determine relative trade value between two or more players listed.
For goalie rankings, please check out the Top 100 Keeper League Goaltender rankings for relative goalie values.
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? Do you like the new changes? Let us know in the comments below, and we will consider your feedback when compiling next month's rankings.
