Top 100 Roto Rankings: April 2022
Ian Gooding
2022-04-15
With many high-scoring games recently, goalies are the most significant fallers in this month's Top 100 Roto Rankings. Multiple goalies have fallen by double digits, although one top-5 drafted goalie (Darcy Kuemper) is rebounding after a so-so first half.
As well, a defenseman joins the Top 5. Roman Josi's career season and run for 100 points is impossible to ignore from a valuation standpoint, so he leapfrogs a few elite options.
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 intended for what's left of 2021-22 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.
