DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Picks
The cheatsheets are based on my exposure to tonight’s NHL slate on DraftKings and FanDuel, as the following players are ones I’m exposed to most when running unique (non-4-3-1) lineup builds in Fantasy Cruncher and/or hand-building. Using this information and Awesemo’s value grades in his NHL Rankings, you can determine which plays are viable for cash games. (Note: projections shown in the tables below are the default projections from Fantasy Cruncher). These picks can be used for cash games, or as part of stacks in larger GPPs.

The player’s projections page also breaks down each statistical scoring category (goals, shots, blocks, assists etc.). Awesemo’s NHL Rankings (Premium) (posted by 3:30 p.m. EST): The world’s best DFS player releases his letter grade rankings, both on a player and stack level, for each and every fantasy-relevant player/stack on the day’s slates.
