Daily Fantasy Rankings

As we approach the end of 2017, we thought we would take an opportunity to look at some of the notable achievements and statistics from the Daily Fantasy Rankings community this year.

jayk123 dominates

Our DFR rankings leaderboard has been dominated by jayk123 since he joined Daily Fantasy Rankings. He’s held the #1 spot throughout the year and has not been close to being challenged. Recently, jayk123 cracked the 40,000-point barrier for the first time, thanks to his continued dominance of NFL and NBA contests on both DraftStars and Moneyball where he is the #1 ranked player for both sites. That’s an average of over 800 points per DFR qualifying result which is a huge number and will be very difficult to match while jayk123 continues to play a high volume.

Jayk123 40,000 points

 

Race to $500,000

While jayk123 leads the way in the DFR rankings, he is not number one when it comes to total winnings from our tracked tournaments. At the moment, that honour belongs to hardcore grinder foley1 who has amassed almost $465,000, mostly in horse racing tournaments on TopBetta. Can foley1 become the first DFR player to reach the $500,000 earnings milestone? jayk123 is in second place with almost $428,000 and quickly closing the gap through his sheer volume. The other player in contention is rexel9 close to $413,000 in earnings. They have a clear gap over the next best, with only nine DFR players in total with more than $200,000 in earnings.

DFR Total Winnings

 

Millions won by DFR players

We’ve only been running a short time, but our players have already recorded millions of dollars in winnings in Australian Daily Fantasy Sports contests. Of the 22,000+ tournaments we have logged, our DFR players have amassed over $7.1million in prize winnings. With more users signing up, and hundreds of contests every day, that number is set to explode in the next 12 months!
