Top 100 Roto Rankings – January 2020

Ian Gooding

2020-01-15

New year, new rankings.

The biggest risers and fallers happen to be because of injuries, with one notable example being Sidney Crosby. However, we have some other significant risers and fallers in the January 2020 Roto Rankings.

Can Nathan MacKinnon be fantasy's top option by the end of the season? Will the slumping Sergei Bobrovsky climb his way back into the top 50? These rankings are a work in progress, so please feel free to leave feedback below. I will take comments into consideration for the following month's rankings. I may also explain certain ranking decisions in upcoming Ramblings.

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%. In other words, this list is focused on the 2019-20 season, but not beyond. This list could also be used by keeper owners with a "win now" mentality.
