Weekly Rankings Update

rankings trophy

Welcome, Daily Fantasy Sports fans to the Mid-May edition of the RotoGrinders Rankings Update! With the NBA and NHL playoffs wrapping up in the next few weeks, we’re about to enter the true grind of the long MLB season. But don’t worry, there are a ton of huge GPPs coming up throughout the summer, and that’s not even taking this NFL season into consideration, which I think is going to be insanely huge this year.

So with that in mind, let’s get to the rankings!

Notes

McJester still sits on top of the TPOY rankings, but it’s a very slim lead with stlcardinals84 less than 200 points behind him. McJester absolutely dominated the NBA, and while he’s certainly catching on to baseball rather quickly, it should be intersting to see what happens if Cards catches another hot streak like he did at the beginning of the season. There are a lot of huge tournaments coming this year, so I have a feeling this race will come right down to the wire once again in 2014.

Notes

Birdwings hasn’t popped up at the top of a ton of huge GPPs yet this season, but he’s been an absolute beast all year, just like he always is. Plain and simple there isn’t a better DFS baseball player in the world right now.

Notes

With both hockey and basketball season pretty much wrapped up (DFS wise anyway) you’re looking at the final standings for the NBA and NHL rankings! A big contratulations to condia and Lowkey for taking the top spot in each sport. These leaderboards are filled with a lot of other Grinders contributors but these two guys have earned their place at the top of the crop.
