NHL DFS Picks – December 5
With a six-pack of NHL action on the ice for Monday night, there are some highly recommended DFS plays to build your Cash lineup around. There are also six teams that have at least three players to stack up for GPPs.
The Weighted Consensus for the NHL uses each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score for players is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. This method gives the higher-rated experts picks more weight when compiling the overall player rankings for the day. We will include all players that have a Rank Score over 6.0.
