NFL – DFS Expert Grading and Recap – Week 6 (2021)
Top NFL DFS Experts – Week 6
Week 6 saw RunPureSports provide the top DFS picks of the week. They were closely followed by the DailyFantasyNerd optimizer and Sportsline. Another optimizer, DFSArmy – Domination Station, sits atop the overall leaderboard after six weeks. Plenty of season left for the DFS analysts and optimizers to make their move up the standings.
On to the Week 6 grades, class is in session!
