Pick’em platforms have exploded over the last few years, and for good reason—they offer a different kind of action than traditional sportsbooks. The beauty of platforms like Underdog and PrizePicks is that you’re not fighting the spread or the total. You’re picking individual player performances against their projected lines.
But here’s the catch: those projections can vary wildly depending on the model, the recency bias, or whether an algorithm was built yesterday or has been refined over years of data. At Props, we’re giving you that refined perspective.
Whether you’re building a five-stack on Underdog or testing the waters with a two-player pick on PrizePicks, having our projections in your arsenal means you’re going in with intel rather than instinct.
Daily Fantasy Sports on DraftKings and FanDuel demand a different level of precision. These platforms have salary caps, position constraints, and deep player pools that require serious analytical work.
One player’s projection methodology might weight recent performance heavily, while another considers pace of play, matchup difficulty, or role usage differently. The result? You get projections that swing 10-15 fantasy points depending on who’s doing the math. That’s a massive variance when you’re trying to build optimal lineups.
The news cycle in sports is relentless, and fantasy projections need to account for that. Injury reports, lineup changes, trade deadlines, rotation shifts—these all impact your fantasy point outlook, sometimes dramatically.
Everything you need to make confident plays—whether you’re chasing stacks on pick’em platforms or building contrarian lineups on DFS—it’s all here.
