NHL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week of January 6th
Top NHL DFS Experts
With three NHL slates grades this past week, it was NumberFire who delivers the top plays of the week with back-to-back top finishes on Tuesday and Thursday’s big slates. They were followed by DailyFantasyInsider with RotoGrinders Consensus rounding out the Top 3 for the week.
The season standings remain the same at the top with RotoGrinders Consensus leading the way followed by our DailyOverlay Cash Consensus picks.
