Top 100 Fantasy Hockey Forward Rankings - January 18, 2022


Jan 11th update: Kadri gets another bump, and honestly, it'll be hard to keep him from rising further if he keeps it up. Lots of young talent creeping up the list as well: Meier, Zegras, Kyrou, Robertson, Terry, Thomas and others continue to demonstrate their top 100 value.

Our fantasy hockey forward rankings project the next 1 to 2 seasons, and consider each player's track record, upside, age, team and injury history. Because fantasy hockey league categories vary widely, these rankings focus on point production. Notes made in previous rankings may carry over to new rankings if they remain relevant.
