NHL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week of October 7th
Top NHL DFS Experts – Recap and Grading
There were only two days with at least four games this past week in the NHL. FantasyPros did the best in those slates, followed by DailyFantasyNerd, and Rotowire. There were also plenty of strong contrarian recommendations from DFSKarma and Sportsline.
For the season in the early going the lineup optimizers are coming out strong with RotoGrinders Lineup Builder and DailyFantasyNerd leading the way. There is plenty of hockey left for the NHL experts to overtake the machines.
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.
