NFL – DFS Expert Grading and Recap – Week 1 (2023)
Top NFL DFS Experts – Week 1
A wild first week is in the books with Stokastic – Upside leading the way followed closely by DFSArmy – Domination Station and Rotowire. The DailyOverlay – Cash Consensus started strong and there were plenty of low-owned hits by a variety of DFS sites.
On to the Week 1 grades, class is in session!
Head of the Class – Week 1
Each week I will highlight a few of the top experts for the week. Here are the experts who deserve a “gold star” for Week 1 based on their cumulative grades for all players they touted this week.
#1) Stokastic – Upside (Score: 5.00) provided an “A+” and two other picks of “C” or better with their three selections
#2) DFSArmy – Domination Station (Score: 4.67) the top optimizer of the week delivered five picks graded with an “A” or better
#3) Rotowire (Score: 4.40) saw four of their five recommendations receive a grade of “B” or better
Top Value – Stokastic – Upside (3.59 DK Pts/$1000)
Head of the Class – Week 1 (By Position)
Sometimes there is just that one class that you excel in. In this section, I will highlight who the top experts were at each position for Week 1.
QB – FantasyPros (5.25) had all four of their QBs receive a “B” or better, led by Jordan Love
RB – DailyFantasySportsRankings (6.00) had the top RB play in Austin Ekeler leading the way
