After some major adjustments to the September version thanks to Bangers Fantasy Hockey, we are only making minor injury-related tweaks to the rankings for October. More significant changes should appear in November once a larger sample of games has been played.
The stat categories for the Roto Rankings as of September are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Hits, and Blocked Shots. These rankings 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.
For injuries, players that are on LTIR or are on extended IR absences with an uncertain return date will be moved out of the rankings into the Injured section. Players that are expected to return within the season will be moved down the rankings accordingly.
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.
