What is the NFL Lineup Optimizer?

A Fantasy Football DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) lineup optimizer is a tool that assists players in crafting the most competitive lineups for daily or weekly fantasy football contests. By analyzing player projections, adhering to salary caps, and considering positional requirements, the optimizer recommends player combinations that maximize potential points.

The Sportskeeda DFS lineup optimizer takes into consideration the weekly projections of all players and teams in the NFL. Its main job is to provide the users with the best possible combination of players that will score the maximum points in fantasy drafts.

So basically, while you are busy with your work and other important daily tasks, preventing you from researching the necessary information based on which you will select the players, the lineup optimizer will do all the work for you. It will project the best possible lineup from the inputs that you give and with the amount of cost available.

What Customizations Are Available in Our NFL DFS Optimizer?

Although our lineup optimizer creates the perfect Lineups based on the previous performance of the players, still you have the option of influencing the build from the ‘Player Pool’.

• If you have a favorite player that must be present in your lineups, you can ‘lock’ the player. The locked player will be present on all the lineups and the rest of the players would be adjusted accordingly.

• On the other hand, if a player’s performance is questionable or you simply don't like the player you can exclude the player using the ‘X’ mark in front of him. The optimizer makes sure to avoid the player from all lineups.

• You may select your favorite player from the list and the selected player will be substituted.

• Or, you may click on ‘Auto Substitute’ and let the tool pick the Next Best player.
