The Experts’ selections
We have enlisted some of the brightest fantasy football minds in the world and asked them to take part in a competition that will determine who really is the top fantasy football expert. They are taking part in a competition where they will predict who will be the top-5 (in standard-scoring leagues) for each position on a weekly basis. In addition, they will answer five multiple-choice questions asking which of a series of players will score the most.
Listed below, you will find the compilation of the experts rankings – listed as “Power” and scored on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis – along, with the top-5 selections for the 411fantasy.com staff.
