NHL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week of November 18th
Top NHL DFS Experts
There were only two big slates to grade last week in the NHL, but NumberFire produced two Top 3 finishes to take home top honors for the week. They were followed by RotoGrinders Consensus who is still out to a big lead in the Overall 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. Also, review how all the NHL DFS analysts fared this past week with a day-by-day breakdown of each scored 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.
