As stated earlier in this thread, it is shady as frick at best.
how?
these companies are in direct competition with each other and use publicly-available data (crunched via proprietary means)

It isn't publicly available, that is the point.
They know which players are being selected at what frequencies on their website. That allows them to make much more informed decisions for sleepers. To win in daily fantasy, you have to differentiate your line up from the masses. Knowing which good players are being selected at a lower rate gives you a major advantage.

A few of the last couple of posts have touched on the issue, player ownership is one of the more difficult things to predict from week to week. You have some obvious ones, like this week it was obvious Karlos Williams would be very highly owned because he was priced at 3.5k and getting the start. But then most of the middling options you have a lot of surprises one way or the other on ownership levels. Finding a solid option that is low owned is pretty much the name of the DFS game.
You would have to assume ownership levels between the 2 sites would be similar with some predictable differences due to pricing and scoring. If you had real time ownership levels for one site, you would be at a massive advantage at the other site.
Being so closely related to online poker and its scandals, it's not a scandal per se, but both companies need to handle this in a proper way or it could be an issue.
