Instructions
Daily Waiver is specifcally designed for DraftKings DFS - Showdown Captain Mode - Single Game Contests. Please see DraftKings "Rules & Scoring" for specific details.
1. Select a game from the navbar
2. Enter the amount of DraftKings FANTASY Points that you believe each player will finish with.
3. For any players that are not provided with fantasy points (left blank), they will assume zero fatnasy points
4. It is important to note that although not shown, player salary is taken into account. Therfore, all lineups provided will never be above the $50,000 Salary Cap.
5. Daily Waiver outputs the optimal lineup (most total points) while staying under the $50,000 Salary Cap
6. Please keep in mind that the optimizer will also try to minimize the salary (even though not shown).
7. Continue using the calculator and optimizing your lineups.
Note: Players that are assigned the same point value and maintain similar salaries, shall be up to the Users' discretion on who fits best in their lineup (if being used outside of Daily Waiver). For example, Players that are given 0 fantasy points and have the same salary can be swapped out for each other in the optimal lineup. There is no advantage since they were both projected 0 fantasy points.
MLB Optimizers
Due to the large MLB rosters on any given night, we at Daily Waiver created a feature called "Probable Players". When turned "ON", all non-starting pitchers will be removed from the Users view for convenience. Please be aware that when "Show Averages" is clicked, this will provide averages for ALL players, even if the "Probable Players" toggle is "ON". Also, be aware that Daily Waiver does not remove injured players from the lineup either, therefore, please keep note of this when optimizing your lineups.
NFL & NBA Optimizers
Daily Waiver will provide full lineups for both the NFL & NBA optimizer pages. We will update this page if anything changes.
