NFL DFS Research Tools — Value, Salary Allocation, Stacks & Ranges
The research bench around the optimizer: value arithmetic for single players, salary-lane planning before you shop, stack pricing for GPP correlation, and a simulation that turns any 9-man lineup into a floor/median/ceiling forecast. Each tool is small on purpose — one question, answered exactly, instantly.
The tools
How the four tools fit together
A typical build flows through all four: allocate salary lanes first (what should each seat cost?), value-check the candidates you're considering for each lane (is this salary actually cheap for the projection?), price your stack if you're playing GPP shapes, and once the optimizer has assembled the nine, simulate the lineup to see its honest range. Every tool runs on the same sample slate and the same engine conventions, so numbers agree across pages by construction.
Honest limits, stated up front
None of these tools know the news, none of them update projections for you, and none of them predict football — they do arithmetic on your inputs, exactly and transparently. The simulator's volatility defaults are sensible shapes, not fitted gospel; the value multiplier is a rule of thumb with an editable dial. The tools respect you enough to say where their knowledge ends.
