NHL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week of November 1st
Top NHL DFS Experts
We tracked and graded four NHL DFS slates this week and DFSArmy – Cheatsheet provided the top plays which has also led them to the top of the overall leaderboard in the early going this season. The RotoGrinders – Slate Summary came in second place for the week and our DailyOverlay – Cash Consensus picks rounded out the Top 3 for the week.
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.
