StatGrades Optimizer
The highest-projecting lineup you can fit under the salary cap, from our own projections and DraftKings' prices. Lock in the players you want, keep out the ones you don't, and build several lineups at once.
Loading the slate…
This is exact, not a guess. Most free optimizers pick greedily by points per dollar and land a few points short of the best lineup available. This one considers every combination that fits the cap, so what you see is the highest-projecting lineup on the slate given our numbers.
The projections are ours, not DraftKings'. They're the same numbers behind the rankings, in full PPR, which is what DraftKings scores closest to. One gap we'll name: DraftKings adds three points for 100 rushing yards, 100 receiving yards or 300 passing yards, and we don't model those bonuses. That makes a high-ceiling player slightly better on DraftKings than we show him here.
We have no ownership data. Projected ownership is a paid product nobody publishes, so we don't show it or pretend to. What's here is the best lineup on projections — in a large tournament, being different from everyone else matters as much as being right, and that part is your call.
Salaries and slates come from DraftKings' own public pages, read the same way a browser reads them. We never place an entry, never see your DraftKings account, and hold nothing belonging to you. Projections are estimates, not guarantees, and this is information and entertainment rather than advice. StatGrades takes no bets.
