CFB DFS Tools and Data for 2025

CFB Single-Lineup Simulator

Perfect for hand-builders and single-entry grinders, this tool is your edge. Build your lineup manually, then run it through the same advanced algorithms powering our full Sims. Instantly see if your lineup projects for positive ROI — or if you’ve been unknowingly creating -EV builds. Beyond ROI, get insights into your chances of winning, finishing top 10%, and cashing, so every lineup you craft has purpose.

CFB Contest Generator

Need a pool that mirrors real ownership trends? The Contest Generator does it fast. Create a slate-specific lineup set, match projected ownership, and refine with the Boost Ownership toggle to fine-tune exposure for any player.

CFB Pre-Contest Simulator

Run thousands of simulations in minutes to analyze potential outcomes before lock. Evaluate your lineups against realistic DFS fields, review simulated ROI, and pinpoint the most profitable builds before you ever enter a contest.

CFB Post-Contest Simulator

Winning long-term requires more than checking results. The Post-Contest Simulator closes the loop, letting you review simulated ROI, ownership, and projection accuracy across every lineup in the field. Compare strategies, spot what actually worked, and track user ROI to identify where the edge truly lies. For an in-depth walkthrough, see Steve Buzzard’s full tutorial on maximizing post-contest analysis.

CFB Data + Projections

At the core of it all: Stokastic’s industry-best projections. Built by DFS pros with millions in winnings, our CFB player and ownership projections give you the sharpest data in the game — the foundation for every tool above.
