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 120 “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 will need to deliver when it matters most or else they’ll fall down the standings at the worst possible time.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at which experts handed out the best advice in week 11…

Congrats to Sean Beazley (EDSFootball) for earning top accuracy honors in week 11. Beazley was most impressive with his QB picks, where he rated as the position’s #1 expert. He was the only pundit (out of 128) to give Ben Roethlisberger a top 5 QB ranking. Considering that Big Ben finished as the week’s best fantasy QB, the faith was more than justified. Beazley also scored points by rating Cam Newton (his QB #3) as high as any expert and for slotting week 11 dud, Case Keenum (his QB #18), below all but 2 experts.
Not to limit the quality advice to QBs, Beazley also rated #2 for the week at the RB position. In what couldn’t have been an easy decision, he took the unpopular stance of slotting Ray Rice within his top 5 RBs (14 spots above the consensus). Rice eclipsed the century mark in rushing for just the first time this season to make that bold pick a hit. In addition to this pick, Beazley did well by ranking several other notable performers ahead of his peers, namely: Donald Brown (+8 spots vs. consensus) and Bobby Rainey (+7 spots vs. consensus),
