The Most Accurate Experts from Week 11

With the playoffs fast approaching, there’s no better time than now to get a “helping hand” when setting your lineup. Fortunately, we have more than 130 “helping hands” that deliver advice every week. And, with 11 weeks in the books, we have a pretty good gauge of who has graded out best for the season. However, just like a poor stretch run can derail your fantasy season, the same is true for the experts in our accuracy competition. They’ll need to deliver when it matters most to avoid falling down the standings at the worst possible time.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the experts who handed out the best advice in week 11. We also have an update on our Season to Date leaderboard, which features a shakeup at the top of the standings.

Congrats to Jeff Brubach (The Fake Football) for topping week 11’s standings in convincing fashion. As the top pundit, Brubach secured the #1 score for both his RB and WR predictions. This marks the first time this season that an expert has rated #1 for both positions in a single week. In terms of where Brubach got things right, it starts with having a great read on the week’s top player (Jonas Gray). He slotted Gray in RB2 territory (his RB #21), which was 18 spots above the Expert Consensus. That ranking was higher than all but 1 expert was willing to go for Gray. Brubach also had a good sense that Jeremy Hill (165 yds) and Tre Mason (114 yds) were set to exceed expectations. His rating for Hill (RB #6) was above all but 2 experts and he slotted Mason higher than all but 1 expert as his RB #15. At WR, Brubach was in the camp that saw some potential in Michael Floyd (2 TDs). His ranking for Floyd (+13 spots vs. consensus) served as a recommendation to consider the Cardinals wideout as a Flex candidate. Brubach also gets credit for steering clear of the week 11 DeSean Jackson hype. He slotted DJax lower than most of the field as his WR #20. It was a wise call as Jackson mustered less than 40 total yards without a touchdown.
