We are now a month into the season, which provides a better opportunity to re-rank players. Not drastically, but at least noticeably. A few players have moved up because of fast starts, but we've moved even more players down due to slow starts that are hurting fantasy teams.

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 a few weeks will be moved down the rankings accordingly.

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? Let us know in the comments below, and we will consider your feedback when compiling next month's rankings.
