"Best $70 I've spent on fantasy football. The trade calculator alone is worth it."

The Lineup Optimizer currently supports Sleeper and ESPN Fantasy leagues. MFL, FFPC, and Fleaflicker support is coming soon.
Best Ball leagues are excluded because they optimize automatically — you don’t set lineups. The optimizer focuses on leagues where your lineup decisions matter.
Projections are updated throughout the week as new information comes in — injury reports, practice participation, weather. Check back closer to game time for the most accurate recommendations.
The optimizer shows you the mathematically optimal lineup, but you always make the final call. Use it as a starting point, then adjust based on your own insights.
The Lineup Optimizer is a Dynasty Nerds Premium feature. Go Premium for $6.99/month or $69.99/year to optimize every league, every week.
Download the app and see the tools for yourself — rankings, trade calculator, league analyzer. When you're ready to unlock the full Rookie Guide and premium features, upgrade in seconds.
