For Week 4 of the NFL season, we are experimenting a little bit with the format of the Weighted Consensus Rankings. There are two main changes.
- We have broken out the rankings at each position into “Cash” and “GPP” sections by position. The top 4 QBs, TEs, and D/ST, along with the top 6 RBs and top 8 WRs by Rank Score are now split out into “Cash” game plays. These will often be the chalky, high-owned plays that would be preferred for your Cash game lineup. Note that we will also only be grading the Cash plays from the Consensus.
- We have extended the list of plays that we present to include every player that was recommended by at least two DFS experts. This gives you a longer list of potential GPP options that will be lower owned but are still potentially good plays that multiple experts recommend. Use a few core Cash game options and then sprinkle in some lower owned GPP options to help build great GPP lineups.

Hope you enjoy the new format and feel free to follow us and respond on Twitter @DailyOverlay or email any comments or questions to management@dailyoverlay.com.
In this series, we will publish a consensus of NFL DFS expert’s recommendations that take into account each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking for each position. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. If you have ever wondered how to differentiate between two players who were both selected by the same number of experts, then this is the list you need. We also list the projected Ownership Percentages for Cash and GPP leagues to help you identify some players that could be good low-owned contrarian plays. We will include all players that have been selected by at least two experts.
