Top 100 Fantasy players for rotisserie leagues – October

Alex Ovechkin scored a stunning go-ahead goal early in the third period and set up another and the Washington Capitals opened their season with a 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils.

The NHL regular season is here and the October Top 100 Roto rankings are back to guide your team to a rotisserie league fantasy hockey championship.

Player values for the Top 100 Roto Rankings are generated by the guys at FantasyHockeyGeek.com and are weighted over multiple years to determine a player’s production consistency. We use their per-game averages to account for players who have missed time in the past due to injury. This is then weighted against the DobberHockey player projections to boil down the evaluations into one single number and rank the top 100 players in fantasy hockey (forwards and defencemen only).

The categories included when determining Overall Value are G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, and Hits. Remember: This is NOT a points-only ranking, but a ranking for rotisserie leagues.

As we navigate through the NHL season the values will be adjusted to include current season production, weighted at a progressively increasing percentage. These rankings will be updated each month.

Here is the October Top 100 Roto…
