NHL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week of April 18th
Top NHL DFS Experts
With one week left in the NHL regular season, that means one week left for our NHL DFS expert grading. Entering the final week, DFSArmy – Cheatsheet leads the way followed by our DailyOverlay – Cash Consensus and RotoGrinders – Consensus.
This past week it was NHL.com taking the top spot with FantasyPros and DFSArmy – Cheatsheet rounding out the Top 3.
Check out the top experts on the Overall Leaderboard and as always you can check out the full NHL Expert Standings to make sure that you’re up to speed on who is making the grade. Also, review how all the NHL DFS analysts fared this past week with a day-by-day breakdown of each score and ranking for the day and the week. We also post the Ownership Percentages by position by count which are used to help project player ownership in our Weighted Consensus article every day.
