NHL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week of January 24th
Top NHL DFS Experts
It was a full week with all five days graded in the NHL. The top NHL experts with multiple days graded included RotoGrinders Slate Summary, NumberFire, and DFSArmy Cheatsheet. DFSArmy Cheatsheet remains at the top of the Overall Leaderboard followed by RotoGrinders Consensus with our DailyOverlay Cash Consensus and RunPureSports tied for the 3rd. Plenty of season left for the NHL DFS analysts and optimizers to move up the standings.
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.
