NFL DFS Tools and Data for 2025

NFL Single-Lineup Simulator

Hand-building your lineups? This tool is your check engine light. Enter a lineup manually and run it through the same advanced algorithms that power our full NFL Sims. Instantly see if your build is +EV, or if you’re leaving money on the table. You’ll also get probabilities of cashing, finishing top 10%, or winning it all.

Looking for NBA best bets? Look no further - we've got a couple of +EV bets that are backed by NBA DFS Projections and Portfolio EV.

NFL Data + Projections

Trusted by DFS pros with seven-figure track records, Stokastic’s player and ownership projections set the industry standard. Updated constantly, these projections give you the accuracy you need to outsmart the field every slate.

NFL Contest Generator

Build smarter pools in minutes. The Contest Generator creates lineups that mirror projected ownership across the slate, then lets you compare projected vs. actual numbers. Use the Boost Ownership toggle to dial in exposures and lock your edge.

NFL Pre-Contest Simulator

Test your lineups before lock with thousands of simulations. Get expected ROI, finishing probabilities, and uncover your sharpest builds — all before kickoff.

NFL Post-Contest Simulator

Winning long term comes from process, not one-night results. The Post-Contest Simulator breaks down your play after each slate, showing where you gained or lost EV so you can sharpen your strategy moving forward.
