The Most Accurate Experts from Week 7

If there’s one thing fantasy owners have come to expect, it’s uncertainty. It can come in the form of Denard Robinson (a former QB) rattling off 127 rushing yards for the lowly Jags. Or it can be in the form of Russell Wilson posting the season’s best fantasy QB stat line…just a few days after his #1 WR was shipped off in a trade.

 

As you might imagine, performances like those certainly gave the experts opportunities to either hit it big or crash and burn with their week 7 picks. So which experts nailed their predictions? Below are the week’s top 10 accuracy leaders (out of 132 experts). You can also view the Yearly Standings here.

Nice job by this week’s top expert, Alan Harrison (The Fantasy Fix). Whenever you’re judged on accuracy, it helps to rank the week’s top player (Russell Wilson) as well as any other expert. Harrison did just that by slotting Wilson as his QB #4. His rating was five spots ahead of the Expert Consensus and above 132 other experts. Harrison delivered another unpopular, yet, wise move by downgrading Philip Rivers (his QB #10). Rivers had been scorching hot but his output slowed down against the Chiefs and he ended up as just the 20th best QB in week 7. Harrison’s rating was 6 spots below the Expert Consensus and lower than all but 3 pundits. Harrison also gets credit for having a good read on Shane Vereen. His ranking (RB #15) for Vereen was 7 spots ahead of the Expert Consensus and served as a small indication of the type of breakthrough Vereen could be in for (114 total yards, 2 TDs). Harrison rounded off his advice by slotting several of Sunday’s top WRs ahead of the field of experts: Sammy Watkins, Golden Tate and Odell Beckham Jr.
