DFS Atlas vs FantasyLabs — contest results vs projections

EARLY ACCESS — the full 2020–2026 lake comes online at launch

Quick answer: FantasyLabs sells projections and player trends — what the model thinks will happen. DFS Atlas shows what DID happen: the lineups that won DraftKings contests, who the field owned versus who the top-1% finishers owned, and the prize ladder for every indexed slate. Projections say; results prove.

Why researchers use DFS Atlas

Ground truth — study the exact lineups that took down GPPs, not a simulation of them.
The leverage gap per player — field ownership vs top-1% ownership shows who the winners differentiated on.
Contest structure intel — prize ladders and winner scores across years of slates.

Where FantasyLabs wins — honestly

FantasyLabs is stronger on the forward-looking side: proprietary projections, trend dashboards and lineup building integrated together. If you’re constructing tonight’s entries rather than studying history, start there.

FAQ

Does DFS Atlas have projections?
No — DFS Atlas is a results lake: lineups, ownership and winners from real DraftKings contests. Projection products like FantasyLabs are the complement, not the competitor.

Why study old winning lineups?
Because winning patterns repeat: build structure, ownership leverage, salary distribution. Seeing the actual winners beats guessing what a winner looks like.

Can I use both together?
Yes — build with projections on FantasyLabs, sanity-check builds against how similar contests actually paid out on DFS Atlas.
