Daily Fantasy Nerd is the forward-looking tool: projections, value rankings and a lineup optimizer built for construction speed. An archive cannot generate lineups — if that is the job, start there.
Is DFS Atlas an optimizer?
No — it is a results archive of real DraftKings contests. Optimizers like Daily Fantasy Nerd build; DFS Atlas records.
How do they work together?
Build with the optimizer, then compare your roster structure and ownership assumptions against what actually won similar contests.
What does “results archive” mean exactly?
Full winning lineups, field vs top-1% ownership per player, and prize ladders for every indexed contest — all from real entries.
Every indexed contest: prize ladder, most-owned players, field ownership vs top-1% finishers, and the lineups that actually cashed.
