Pickup idea: a free agent projected for 2.1 steals would flip ST from too close to a likely win.
The problem

Most pickups are a guess

Averages look backward

Season and 14-day averages tell you what already happened. They miss tonight’s injuries, rest days and matchups.

Good players aren't always the right pickup

The best free agent on paper may not help the categories you’re actually fighting for this week.

You only see one matchup

You play one opponent, but it’s hard to tell where your week stands against the rest of the league.

How it works

Let the books do the projecting

Sportsbooks set a line for every player’s points, rebounds, assists, threes, steals and blocks, and move it as news breaks. We put those numbers to work for your fantasy team.
