Lineup Optimizer: DraftKings CFB Saturday Night Week 8

Devin Knotts's Lineup Optimizer: DraftKings CFB Saturday Night Week 8 Devin Knotts Published 10/20/2018

This is a lineup optimizer for DraftKings using projections by Devin Knotts. Projected points, projected value, and H-value are all displayed. Projected value is equal to projected points divided by salary (and then multiplied by 10,000). H-value is equal to projected points raised to the square root of three, divided by salary (and then multiplied by 2,000). H-value, a measure inspired by Dan Hindery, is often a better indicator of true value than points per dollar. Click on the column headings to sort by that column.

When you click on a player's name, the player is added to your lineup over at the right. Projected total points are displayed above your lineup. Click on a player in your lineup to remove him.

McKenzie Milton has an ankle that is heavily wrapped in warmups. He has been downgraded and there is some concern whether he will play tonight. Use him with caution.

If you fill in a partial lineup with no more than six open spaces, you can have the remaining spaces filled in automatically by clicking on the green "Knotts". To exclude a player from consideration by this feature, click on the green "o" to the right of his name. (Click again to undo.)
