Product Name:
DailyRoto Daily Fantasy Rundown

Company Name:
DailyRoto

Product Description:
DailyRoto.com premium packages are led by industry experts Drew Dinkmeyer, Mike Leone, and other DailyRoto contributors. Our credible, experienced, and transparent group of experts cover every slate for each of the following sports: NFL, MLB, NBA, and CFB. Packages include Analysis, Cheat Sheets, Strategy Guides, and Lineup Alerts. Our analysis includes professional commentary and roster construction advice. DailyRoto doesn’t just tell you who the good picks are or what they “feel”. Instead we share the research and in depth statistical analysis that goes into our selections. Not only do you gain a sense of who you should play in your Daily lineups, but you also learn the best processes for picking players in DFS. Our unique analysis takes into consideration factors such as position scarcity and opportunity cost, capturing the specific nuances that each day presents. It’s one thing to know who has a good matchup, but we take it a step further in order to help you construct cash game and GPP rosters that increase your expected value over the long run. Strategy Guides are articles throughout the season (once a week) that give expert insight on an array of macro DFS topics from player valuation methods to roster construction to bankroll management and more! We also track every single target inside and outside of the red zone each week and use that data to identify individual and team trends. DraftKings and FanDuel site specific cheat sheets help subscribers narrow down the list of available options each day and increase their expected value. Up until 15 minutes before rosters lock (and often beyond), subscribers will receive alerts that include up to minute analysis of breaking injury, playing time, weather news and commentary on how that news will affect the slate’s DFS games. Lineup alerts are both sent as an email and immediately viewable on site.

Product Name:
Lineup Builder and Optimizer

Company Name:
RotoGrinders.com

Product Description:
The RotoGrinders Lineup Builder and Optimizer is actually two powerful tools rolled into a single interface. The “Optimizer” allows users to create a single optimal lineup based on their projections. Users can use the pre-loaded RotoGrinders projections or edit/upload their own.  Quite a few sites in our industry have Lineup Optimizers – it’s the Lineup Builder portion that really distinguishes this tool. Designed for tournament players, the Lineup Builder allows you to build 1-100 lineups and then enter those lineups directly into games on FanDuel and/or DraftKings. The tool offers a ton of settings and filters to help players find just the right mix of player exposure for their multi-entry tournaments. The tool is free, allowing all players access to the “s” that many professional players use to quickly enter large amounts of lineups into the sites.

What Makes This Product Worthy of Winning This Category?
As described above, the RotoGrinders Lineup Builder and Optimizer is the most robust tool of its class in the industry. The tool’s projections are not only sourced by a team of DFS experts, but also are entirely sortable, filterable and customizable. The options are diverse. Tournament players can choose their max exposure to the entire field, the percentage of time they want a TE in their flex on DraftKings, what percentage of the time they want a WR matched with their locked-in QB, and much more.  The tool is also constantly being improved, with a new update released every month this NFL season.
