NHL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week of February 17th
Top NHL DFS Experts
The NHL had a nice balanced schedule this week which resulted in a full week of grading the NHL analysts and optimizers. The top site for the week was DailyFantasyInsiders who edged out DraftKings Playbook and FantasyPros. The overall standings remain unchanged at the top as the NHL season begins to wind down.
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.
