Top 440: Early H2H Points League Rankings

3 years ago by Nicklaus Gaut

Welcome back RotoBallers. Below you will find our early 2021 fantasy baseball H2H points league rankings (top 440). As you may know, head-to-head points formats are typically underserved by fantasy baseball outlets - but this is an area that we at RotoBaller take pride in and specialize in. Throughout the preseason and regular season, we will be releasing lots of rankings, tools and articles all geared towards H2H points formats.

Today we are here to review the early overall rankings list. Our lead fantasy baseball H2H points analyst - Nicklaus Gaut - has analyzed the current MLB landscape and is ready to help you win your leagues. Below you will find his early ranks for 2021, which will be updated regularly up until opening day on our main Rankings Wizard. Feel free to give Nick a follow on Twitter, or let him know if you love or hate his rankings. And in case you missed it, be sure to also check out our fantasy baseball rankings dashboard and bookmark that page. It's already loaded up with tons more great rankings including:

Mixed league rankings
AL/NL only league rankings
Dynasty prospect rankings
Redraft rookie rankings for 2021
Dynasty/keeper rankings

Typically, points leagues have different league settings and scoring formats than most. Different stats and categories are assigned different point values, and that can vary by individual league settings. These different point buckets are then added up over the course of a scoring period or season. In many cases, hitters who walk more and strikeout less are preferred for points leagues. Also, many league formats tend to give more weight to pitchers than normal as they can easily accrue points through categories like Innings Pitched. These are the general frameworks that we use for our H2H points ranks below.
