Find the Best DFS Pick’em Plays With the Fantasy Optimizer

It is important to always find the best value for whatever bet you’re looking to place. One DFS pick’em platform may have Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s reception total at 9.5 while another has it at 10.5, providing potential value depending on whether you like the higher or lower pick.

Within each of the tabs in our Fantasy Optimizer, you can identify some of the best pick’em opportunities available on that platform. That could come from an outlier player prop line, a more favorable payout, or a market price that stands out compared to sportsbooks, other DFS apps and prediction markets.

How the Prop Professor Fantasy Optimizer Works

The Prop Professor Fantasy Optimizer is constantly scanning DFS pick’em platforms, sportsbooks and prediction markets, with data refreshing as frequently as every second. This allows you to confidently evaluate some of the most up-to-date player prop lines available.

For each DFS platform, we highlight markets that may offer a better line or more favorable value than the rest of the market. The Optimizer goes a step further by comparing its estimated hit rate with the break-even hit-rate threshold required by the selected payout.

For example, a 3.5x payout on a two-pick Underdog entry requires each pick to hit at approximately 53.5%, assuming both legs have the same independent probability. An opportunity that exceeds that threshold will be highlighted in green.

Amber or red does not necessarily mean a pick is certain to be poor, just as green does not guarantee a profitable play. The colors reflect how the current market-derived probability compares with the required break-even rate.

The Optimizer also displays comparison prices and prop lines from sportsbooks, prediction markets and other DFS platforms so you can examine how much support exists for the estimated value.

Compare Hit Rate to the Break-Even Probability

Understanding hit rates and break-even probabilities is an important part of evaluating DFS pick’em entries, and the Optimizer makes this easier through the coloring in the Value column.

DFS platforms generally display payout multipliers rather than conventional American odds. Those multipliers can still be converted into a break-even probability, allowing you to determine approximately how often an entry needs to win to be profitable over time.

In the dropdown menu, you can select the slip type you want to evaluate and see the required hit rate for that format. You can then compare that break-even point with the Optimizer’s estimated hit rates, which are derived from pricing across the broader betting market.

Opportunities above the required threshold are highlighted in green, those near the threshold appear amber, and those significantly below it appear red.

The color should not be the only factor in your decision. The number of comparison sportsbooks, available liquidity and the consistency of pricing across the market can all help determine how much confidence you should place in the estimated probability.

Optimize PrizePicks, Underdog, Betr and More

Our Fantasy Optimizer rapidly scans many of the most popular DFS pick’em platforms, including PrizePicks, Underdog, Betr, DraftKings Pick6, Dabble, Sleeper, ParlayPlay, HotStreak, BoomFantasy and Chalkboard.

You can compare their player prop lines with traditional sportsbooks such as FanDuel, DraftKings, Caesars and Circa Sportsbook, as well as prediction markets including Polymarket, Kalshi and ProphetX.

Bringing those different markets together allows you to see whether a DFS line or payout is supported by broader market pricing or stands out from the rest.

Build a Better Pick’em Slip

When building a better pick’em slip, it is important to consider all of the information available while also having a quick way to evaluate opportunities, as an outlier line can disappear quickly once the market adjusts.

Sometimes an opportunity may appear valuable but have only one other comparison book available. In that situation, it can be difficult to determine which side of the market is mispriced.

Conversely, there may be many comparison prices available, but only a few support the estimated edge. One sportsbook or prediction market may also be significantly mispriced compared to every other source, which can distort the estimated value.

That is why it is important to examine the inputs behind each opportunity rather than relying on one number alone. Consider the available comparisons, liquidity, prop line and payout before making a decision.

The Fantasy Optimizer is not predicting which player prop will win. Instead, it identifies where current DFS lines and payouts may offer value relative to pricing across the broader market.
