NHL – DFS Expert Consensus – October 8
NHL DFS Picks – October 8
Our first NHL DFS Consensus article for the season comes on Wednesday’s four-game slate. There are plenty of high-priced studs and value options to balance out your Cash and GPP lineups.
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.
