Finding the value – made easy

Larger slates have more studs as available lineup options, and getting two or more studs in a line up can be quite challenging with a $50,000 salary cap on DraftKings.

Whether your building 150 lineups or 10 lineups, you need options to save salary for the production players. late news, injuries, and changes in starting lineups all factor into identifying those value plays that will ultimately take down a tournament.

In yesterdays 5-Game main slate we saw this first hand. If you didn’t have Torrey Craig in your lineup at $3,000 on DraftKings, the likelihood of getting Joel Embiid, Kyle Lowry, TJ Warren, and Paul George would be near impossible.

Torrey Craig finished the day at 8.4x his salary. The DFS Analyzer projected him at 20.4 DKPts, which would have been 6.8x his salary, and Torrey out performed projections.

Feed your favorite optimizer with solid players that have a purpose. Build a strategy and stick with it regardless of sport or slate size. And stay informed by selecting tools that are refresher data based on variables such as late scratches, starting lineups and breaking news.
