NFL – DFS Expert Grading and Recap – Week 3
Top NFL DFS Experts – Week 3
There were a bunch of high-scoring affairs in Week 3 which saw NumberFire provide the top DFS picks for the Sunday slate. They were followed by GoingFor2 and DailyFantasyCafe for the week. Our DailyOverlay – Cash Consensus also had a strong week with a 5th place showing.
For the season, RotoGrinders – Consensus has taken over the top spot followed very closely but FantasyAlarm and NumberFire. Still a lot of movement in the standings with just three weeks in the books.
On to the Week 3 grades, class is in session!
