NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday, October 16

Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

Moneyball16: Auston Matthews – He is going to be the most owned player on the slate so fading him in GPPs is of course an option, but he is the best player on the slate, he is the hottest player on the slate, and he has one of the best matchups on the slate.

He’s at home against one of the projected worst teams in the league. The Maple Leafs have a team total of 4.5 goals. I’d be shocked if Matthews didn’t light the lamp at least once and wouldn’t be surprised if he challenged for a third straight hat trick.
