What is FTW Analytics?
For The Win (FTW) Analytics builds DFS projections, analytics and lineup optimizers for the NFL and the PGA Tour.
What is the NFL Optimizer?
A DraftKings NFL DFS tool built on FTW's own projection model. It includes projections with floor and ceiling, ownership estimates, stacks and exposure controls, a lineup optimizer for Classic and single-game Showdown slates, DraftKings upload files, and late swap.
Do I need an account to use the NFL Optimizer?
Yes. The NFL Optimizer is for signed-in members. Create an account with your email, confirm it with the link we send you, then sign in. The PGA tools do not require an account.
How are the NFL projections made?
Projections come from a usage-and-efficiency model that uses NFL box score data, Vegas lines, injury reports and depth charts, and score every player in DraftKings points, including the yardage bonuses. They refresh through the week and every few minutes on Sunday morning before kickoff.
Which DraftKings slates are supported?
Classic slates (Main, Early Only, Afternoon Only, Primetime and the others DraftKings offers) and single-game Showdown slates.
Does the NFL Optimizer enter lineups for me?
No. You build and review your lineups, then download the file and upload it to DraftKings yourself.
What is late swap?
Late swap re-optimizes the open slots of lineups you already have on DraftKings once some games have started. Players in games that have started stay exactly where they are, and everything else is rebuilt. Import your DraftKings entries file to use it.
What is the PGA Analytics and Optimizer?
A model builder for PGA Tour events. Pick a tournament, choose a model type, select the stats you want, set your weights, and see player results, with course characteristics informing course-fit suggestions.
What is the PGA DFS Optimizer?
A DraftKings PGA lineup builder. It pulls DraftKings salaries, projections and ownership, can blend in a custom model from the Model Builder or the MinCash weekly model, and builds optimal six-golfer lineups under the $50,000 cap with exposure, ownership and salary rules. You upload the file to DraftKings yourself.
What is Cut Sweat?
A live tournament tool built on Data Golf data. It shows the projected cutline and the players in the bubble zone, within one shot of the line, so you can follow who is at risk of missing the cut.
What is MinCash's Weekly PGA Model?
MinCash's weekly model for the current PGA Tour event, with player rankings before the tournament and live data once it starts.
