The DFS pages put every player in DraftKings scoring from our own projections, and build lineups from the salary file you export from DraftKings.
How It Works
A player's number averages our weekly projection with Sleeper's, ESPN's and FantasyPros', rescored to DraftKings rules from Sleeper's projected stat line, each +3 yardage bonus added at its chance. Defenses are priced on the opponent's total from our game model. Floor and ceiling show how far projections like his missed this season (20th to 80th percentile).
Your salary file is read on your device, never uploaded, adding salaries and value (points per $1,000). Lock and rule out players, pick a stack, and the builder finds the best lineups under the cap exactly (branch and bound), after shaking projections within each range so builds differ. DraftKings asks tools to need your decisions, so it waits for yours.
Draft games like Real's rank players by performance: the draft score is our projection as a 0-10 ranking at his position, and the best five fill the slots with your boosts.
Keep in Mind
Not advice. Questionable players count at their chance to play. Real's scoring isn't ours, so treat the draft score as a ranking guide.
When It Updates
Four times a day, around 5:30 and 11:30 AM and PM Eastern. Your file and boosts stay on this device.
For the Curious
Over this season's first six weeks our DraftKings projections missed by 5.3 points a player, against 6.2 for each player's own season average; Sleeper's line alone did about as well as ours.
