NFL – DFS Expert Grading and Recap – Week 9
Top NFL DFS Experts – Week 9
The NFL Week 9 action is in the books, which saw Rotoballer take top honors in our DFS grading this week. They were followed closely by Rotowire and FantasyAlarm. There were a lot of strong plays in our Weighted Consensus ranking in both the Cash and GPP sections.
For the year the top two remain the same with FantasyAlarm and RotoGrinders – Consensus leading the way as we cross into the second half of the season.
On to the Week 9 grades, class is in session!
