Week 10 Expert Accuracy Rankings

Which expert predicted Willie Snead’s big performance?

For the second straight week, a running back who was said to be taking a back seat in the depth chart became the hot hand and ended up one of the most productive players of the week. Week 10 also saw Ezekiel Elliott go off for the top fantasy week of the season and Doug Baldwin haul in three touchdowns. Some experts were able to forecast several of these and many other surprising results.  As always, you can check out the entire standings in our accuracy section.

Congratulations to Raju Byfield (WinMyFantasyLeague) for finishing Week 10 in first place. This was the second time in three weeks that Raju made an appearance in the top 10. He made his mark this week by finishing #4 among all experts in ranking running backs, #17 for tight ends and top 50 for both quarterbacks and wide receivers. Raju was one of the top experts on a handful of running backs. He ranked Rashad Jennings RB #26 while the Expert Consensus had him at RB #32 and he finished #11 at the position. Likewise, Raju was bullish on Jeremy Hill who had a breakout. His most impressive rankings, however, were when he dropped both Lamar Miller to RB #15 and Devonta Freeman to RB #16 despite the Expert Consensus projecting them as RB #8 and RB #7. Both had disappointing weeks, which really propelled Raju to the top of the charts. His other top calls were on Doug Baldwin, Stefon Diggs and Steve Smith.

Year-to-Date Accuracy

Week 10 marks the first time all season where we didn’t see big movement within the year-to-date leaderboard. The top four remained in the same place with Brett Talley (The Fantasy Fix) placing #25 in Week 10 among the experts,  Jeff Ratcliffe (Pro Football Focus) finishing #15 and Jake Ciely (RotoExperts) at #23. All of their top 25 performances put further distance between themselves and the rest of the field, but it was  Sean Koerner (STATS), once again, who finished in the top 10. The other notable changes this week came from Dave Major (XN Sports) who was the #11 expert this week, which moved him up to #5 year-to-date from #37, and Justin Boone (theScore) who placed #14 this week, moving him back into the top ten.
