Posted by andrew on November, 30th 2011 Tweet

With ¾ of the fantasy season in the books, our race to determine 2011’s Most Accurate Expert is heating up. While a few blowouts in week 12 may have featured some ultimate garbage time stat padding (we’re looking at you, Vince Young), the experts in our competition are facing no such luxury. The accuracy contest is so close that only .2% points separate 1^st place from 5^th place. Simply put, we’re heading into the “4^th quarter” of a competition that has anything but the makings of a blowout.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at who delivered the best advice in week 12. We’ll go through the top 10 experts (out of 76). You can also view the YTD standings, which feature a shakeup atop the leaderboard.

Every week in the NFL has its own quirks and week 10 was no exception. No stat stood out more than Matthew Stafford attempting 63 passes compared to Tim Tebow’s 8 attempts. Even more amazing is that Tebow managed to nearly double Stafford’s fantasy production. It just goes to show that you see something new every week in this topsy-turvy sport we all enjoy so much.

While something such as the above example is hardly predictable, there are still plenty of outcomes that can be spotted in advance. That’s where the fantasy experts come into play with their weekly picks.

That can only mean it wasn’t the easiest week for the experts to predict (we did mention Matt Moore was a peak performer, right?!).

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the top 10 experts (out of 75) from week 9 to see who handed out the best advice. You can also check out the accuracy portion of our site for a breakdown by position. This includes IDP ratings, which were just launched last week.
