NFL – DFS Expert Grading and Recap – Week 12
Top NFL DFS Experts – Week 12
Hard to believe there are already a dozen weeks in the books for the NFL season. The machines controlled the Top 2 spots in the standings for Week 12 with the optimizers from DailyFantasyNerd and Rotowire. They were followed by DFSKarma – GPP Targets. Meanwhile, our DailyOverlay Cash Consensus plays had a strong 5th place showing for the week.
The Overall Leaderboard looks the same at the top with FantasyAlarm and RotoGrinders – Consensus leading the way, while Rotowire – Optimizer moved back into the Top 3.
On to the Week 12 grades, class is in session!
