Since Week 4 of the NFL season we’ve gathered the recommended fantasy plays from various analysts across the industry. Below we present the results for each fantasy tout for both Week 6 and the cumulative totals so far.
Disclaimer: These results are not scientific, and are not intended to be taken as such. Our motive is to bring some small measure of accountability and record-keeping to a subsector of the daily fantasy industry that has boomed in the last two years.
A note on our methodology: Player prices are divided by 1,000 and then compared against the points earned. For example, a player with a salary of $5,000 would be converted to 5. If that player scored 10 points, his fantasy-points-per-dollar rating would be 2.0; if he scored 15 points, his rating would be 3.0, etc.
Each analyst’s picks from last week can be viewed here. For the purpose of our calculations, players who were inactive were removed.
This week, we added the DailyFantasyNerd optimizer for both FanDuel and DraftKings. If there’s another analyst or optimizer you’d like to see tracked, let us know on the forum.
