Two months into the season, we now have a better idea of what to expect from many players going forward. However, the rankings are always in a state of flux, not just because player values constantly change but also because of an increasing number of injuries.

The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Power Play 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 will be moved out of the rankings into the Injured section. Players whose injuries are shorter term (ie. day to day) will be left in the rankings but may be moved down.

For goalie rankings, please check out the Top 100 Keeper League Goaltender rankings on our rankings page 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.
