NFL DFS Strategy Platform
Building a Data-Driven DFS System for the Casual User
No picks. No gut feelings. Just process, discipline, and long-term bankroll growth — built transparently, one slate at a time.
C.J. Stroud, Tetairoa McMillan, and Isaiah Likely all grade CORE, with no injury designation standing in the way at tight end.
Full lineup & breakdown →Jared Goff and Sam LaPorta anchor the Detroit stack; Wan'Dale Robinson's VALUE tag at WR3 is the one honest hedge.
Full lineup & breakdown →Bryce Young, Chuba Hubbard, and Tetairoa McMillan stack the Panthers, while Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely pivot off the Giants — the highest projected total of the four builds.
Full lineup & breakdown →Joe Burrow, Zay Flowers, and Mike Gesicki stack Bengals/Ravens; MarShawn Lloyd, Christian Watson, and Jameson Williams stack Packers/Lions.
Full lineup & breakdown →| Pos | Player | Team | Opp | Proj DK | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Joe Burrow | CIN | BAL | 26.7 | 3.86x |
| RB | Jahmyr Gibbs | DET | GB | 29.2 | 2.98x |

Value = projected DK points per $1K salary. Highest-Value play at each position.
The Grade and Signal thresholds behind every position, and the specific rules — seven pulled from a 370-contest DFS win-rate study — that shape each of the four weekly lineups.

Read more →The instinct is to build as many lineups as your budget allows. Slate-IQ does the opposite — a small, deliberately different set of lineups, with hard exposure limits by position.
Read more →Built on Three Beliefs
The DFS space is full of opinions. Slate-IQ is built on something different — a structured conviction that process beats intuition, every time.
Consistency Over Big Wins
Chasing ceilings destroys bankrolls. Slate-IQ is engineered for sustainable, compounding growth — not lottery ticket swings.
Process Over Intuition
Every lineup decision flows from a structured evaluation model. Pace, usage, minutes, matchup — in that order, every week, no exceptions.
Discipline Over Volume
2.5–5% weekly bankroll exposure. Defined contest diversification. A CPA-style approach applied to DFS, not a casino mindset.
Built for Casual Players
Not targeting high-volume sharks. Slate-IQ is for beginners, analytical thinkers, and spreadsheet enthusiasts who believe numbers don't lie.
How Slate-IQ Works
A five-step weekly workflow that transforms raw slate data into structured lineup decisions — documented in full, every single week.
Pull game logs, Vegas odds, and player projections for the full week's slate. No noise, just signal.
Apply Slate-IQ scoring: rank every player by DK Value (projected points per $1K salary) to surface the top play at each position.
Cap weekly exposure at 2.5–5% of a disciplined bankroll. No chasing losses — stakes increase only after sustained, proven growth.
1 cash lineup (high-floor) + 4 GPP lineups (correlation + leverage + ceiling). Every pick documented.
Lineups published pre-lock. Post-slate: full performance review, error analysis, model adjustments.
Not a Pick Service
The DFS content market is saturated with opinions and unverifiable results. Slate-IQ is a decision-making framework — built in public, reviewed every week.
Full Transparency
Every lineup published before lock. Every result reviewed after. Bankroll tracked publicly. No selective memory, no hidden record.
Analytical Framework
Structured, repeatable process applied the same way every single week. Data in, decisions out. No emotional overrides.
Educational System
Learn how to think analytically about DFS slates — not just copy lineups. A framework you can own and apply independently.
Bankroll Management First
2.5–5% weekly exposure. Cash + GPP diversification. Slow, consistent growth as the primary objective — not headline wins.
