The Guys The Top Experts Love in Week 9

Our last Featured Pros post covered some guys that might step up in Week 9. In this post we’ve once again identified players with upside (you can never have enough upside in fantasy football!), but we used a different approach to uncover the potential sleepers.
 
Instead of asking the top experts for their opinions, we reviewed their rankings against our Expert Consensus (ECR) to get to an objective look at the guys they like. We analyzed the rankings of the most accurate experts at each position and overall to see who they’re relatively higher on, in their area of expertise.
 
These are the most accurate experts by position through the first 8 weeks of the season. We encourage you to check out their sites and follow them on Twitter:
 
Top Overall Expert: Jody SmithGridiron Experts
Top QB Expert: Site ProjectionsScoutPro
Top RB Expert: John HalpinFox Sports
Top WR Expert: Mike WoellertProFootballFocus
Top TE Expert: Zach FluewellingFantazzle
Top DST Expert: Site ProjectionsFantasy Football Starters
Top K Expert: MuntradamusBeastDome
