Rules as encoded
- Projections. Skill players: PropSims sim draws scored with each site's rules (DraftKings full PPR, FanDuel half PPR, +3 yardage bonuses on both). D/ST: own-model mean. Kickers: a simple, labelled estimate from our expected team touchdowns plus a league-average field-goal rate. Players the model doesn't project (inactive, out, deep reserves) aren't in the pool; injury tags refresh with our live injury poller.
- Exact solver. Each lineup is an integer program (HiGHS in your browser), so lineup 1 is the true optimum for the numbers chosen. Captain/MVP costs and IDs come straight from the site's own player list.
- Export. The CSV uses each site's upload header (DraftKings: CPT + 5 FLEX IDs; FanDuel: MVP + 5 AnyFLEX IDs), one lineup per row.
