XFL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week 4
Top XFL DFS Experts – Week 4
It as a tricky week of XFL DFS in Week 4, but AthlonSports was able to produce the top plays of the week, followed by DailyFantasyInsider and FanSided. The strong showing by FanSided helped propel them into the top spot for the season through four weeks of grading. Still over half of the season left for the DFS experts to make their move up the leaderboard.
