RotoWire Roundtable: Composite Top 300 Update

RotoWire Roundtable: Composite Top 300 Update

This article is part of our RotoWire Roundtable series.

(Updated at 4:40 pm ET on April 2, 2022 to reflect changes to Clay's and Todd's rankings)

If you are unfamiliar with our Roundtable series...

Jeff Erickson's projections drive our custom rankings. I have a separate set of 5x5 rotisserie rankings on our site, to offer another opinion on the player pool.

But there are always going to be biases in our analysis. To help weed those out and provide the most balanced fantasy baseball rankings we can offer, we add the Top 350s of Todd Zola and Erik Halterman to form this composite Top 300 for the 2022 fantasy baseball season.

For these, we assume 5x5 rotisserie scoring with 23 active players (14 hitters, including two catchers, and nine pitchers).

You can sort the list below by individual ranker, and you can also sort by average ranking (AVG) or median ranking (Med). The default rank (Rk) is by median ranking.
