Despite the recent NFL schedule changes, Week 13 is a go, and that means daily fantasy managers are creating their lineups. With football action slated for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, there are plenty of decisions to be made. All season long we’ve offered up looks at our Season Tools, which can be found in the Rotoworld Premium EDGE+ Roto package, in order to guide you through the toughest parts of your season and hopefully towards winning a championship.

However, if you feel like your season is beyond salvaging, you don’t have to wait until next year just to hit your fantasy fix and try and claim victory. In addition to our premium season-long products, we offer a variety of DFS Tools to help you win every week, without the complications added by long-term injuries and missed waiver wire adds.

Designed to provide the knowledge you need to make the perfect lineup decisions in a variety of DFS formats, no matter the slate — from week-by-week projections, optimal lineups, past results and custom lineups built around your selected players — we’re confident that this is the finest edition we have ever produced.

Last week, we previewed our Optimal Lineup tool. This week, we’re previewing our Optimizer tool, which allows you to use and modify algorithmic and simulation-based projections to create your own daily fantasy lineup. This preview features an optimized Week 13 lineup based on a QB-WR stack filter and Kirk Cousins locked in as our QB against the Jaguars. Take a look:

Week 13 Optimized DFS Lineup with QB-WR stack filter and Kirk Cousins locked in (based on Yahoo! cash projections and a $200 salary for the Sunday-Monday slate)

Position Name Team Salary Projected Points
QB Kirk Cousins MIN $30 20.3
RB Derrick Henry TEN $34 17.9
RB Nick Chubb CLE $30 16.4
WR Deebo Samuel SF $22 13.1
WR Marvin Jones Jr. DET $13 11.4
WR Brandin Cooks HOU $18 12.3
TE Richard Rodgers PHI $10 6.2
FLEX Adam Thielen MIN $33 14.4
D/ST Atlanta Falcons ATL $10 5.5

As you can see, the Optimizer likes stacking Adam Thielen with Kirk Cousins, as opposed to any other Vikings receivers, based on Thielen’s salary and projected points against the Jags this week.

If you have other thoughts on QB-WR stack options for this week, you can purchase EDGE+ Pro package here for as low as $7.99 per month and create your own Optimized DFS Lineups. With that purchase, you will also gain access to past results, projections and all that our DFS Tools for NFL, College Football, MLB, NBA and NHL have to offer. And if you’re into Season-Long and betting, be sure to check out the EDGE+Roto package for as low as $3.99 per month, as well as our EDGE+ BET and EDGE+ MAX packages that feature our new Betting Tools for as low as $7.99 and $11.99 per month, respectively.
