The Most Accurate Experts from Week 12

Week 12 was boom or bust for many fantasy owners. If you picked up Odell Beckham Jr.C.J. Anderson or Justin Forsett earlier this season, you’re probably feeling pretty good about yourself right now. On the other hand, anyone who went all in on Jonas Gray is likely looking for a refund on Pats’ RB. After all, it’s never good when a player touches the ball as many times as you and me combined.

As always, we kept track of the experts that made the best predictions for these players (and more). Read on to find out which pundits delivered the best advice in week 12.

Congrats to Dawmatica (Pyromaniac) for delivering week 12’s best fantasy predictions. It marks the 2nd time this season that Dawgmatica has landed the top weekly accuracy score. This past week’s rating was primarily earned due to strong picks at RB and WR. Dawgmatica gets credit for being one of the early believers of Latavius Murray (112 yards, 2 TDs). He had the Raiders’ young RB rated 12 spots ahead of the Expert Consensus in what turned out to be a breakthrough game for Murray. Dawgmatica also went higher than most experts on Ryan Mathews (113 yards, 1 TD). He slotted Mathews 8 spots ahead of the Expert Consensus (his RB #15), which served as a wise pick. At WR, no other expert was a bigger believer in Jarvis Landry (2 TDs). His ranking (WR #27) for the rookie wideout was a full 23 spots above the consensus. It served as an unpopular, yet smart recommendation to consider Landry as a potential starter. Dawgmatica also had a good read with his ranking of several established players that fell under the week 12 radar: Marques Colston (+16 spots above consensus), Keenan Allen (+10 spots above consensus) and Torrey Smith (+7 spots above consensus). Each player hauled in a touchdown and exceeded expectations.
