How to Use CFB DFS Sims: Expert Strategy Guide, Tips & Advice
Generate Lineups with the Contest Generator
The first step is to use the Contest Generator, which allows you to create a large pool of lineups — up to 5,000 with the full version of the tool. You can select from different slate, such as Main Slate or Showdown Slates for DraftKings or FanDuel. Once your slate is set, choose the type of stack exposures you prefer, such as QB + WR or QB + 2 and click “Generate Lineups.”
When generating lineups, keep in mind that the goal is to mimic the actual contests you’re entering. The tool comes with pre-loaded stack exposure defaults, but these can be customized to fit your strategy.
Fine-Tune Player Exposures
After generating your contest lineups, a smart move is to go through individual players and adjust their projected ownership. Stokastic’s CFB DFS ownership projections provide ownership insights, but if you feel a player is over- or under-projected in terms of ownership, you can make adjustments in the “Boost Ownership” column.
Once you’ve fine-tuned these details, re-run the Sims to see how the adjustments affect your pool of lineups. This ensures you’re not just guessing on ownership percentages but using a strategic process to arrive at your final lineups.
Simulate Your Lineups
Once you’re satisfied with the lineup pool, click the “Simulate Lineups” button. This runs the generated lineups through a tournament simulator, which will evaluate them based on metrics like cash rate, top-10 finishes and ROI. This gives you an in-depth view of how your lineups might perform across different contest types, allowing you to zero in on the optimal builds.
Check the settings at the top of the screen to ensure everything is aligned: your slate, site and prize pool distribution should be accurate. For example, if you’re playing in a contest with $100,000 to first place, select the closest “Percent to First” option to reflect that.
You can also upload custom projections if you want to personalize your lineup builds further. If not, the tool defaults to Stokastic’s highly accurate projections.
Evaluate Contest Metrics
After running the simulation, lineups will be ranked by simulated ROI, which factors in everything from cash rates to win probabilities. This is where the Sims really shine — lineups that might seem contrarian or risky could offer the highest long-term ROI, especially in college football contests where scoring tends to be more volatile.
For those looking to dig deeper, the Sims also provide individual player ROI, stack ROI and the ability to favorite certain lineups. This allows you to focus on specific contest goals, whether it’s maximizing your chances of cashing or building high-upside lineups for large-field tournaments.
Export Your Top Lineups
Once you’re happy with your exposures and lineups, favorite your top selections and export them. This process can be as quick as a minute if you go with default settings, but the ability to customize and tweak makes this a powerful tool for DFS players of all levels. Once exported, you’re ready to upload them to your DFS site of choice.
Maximize the Superflex with Stokastic’s CFB Sims
One of the key advantages of Stokastic’s CFB DFS Sims is the ability to maximize the Superflex position. Unlike traditional fantasy formats, the Superflex slot gives you more flexibility by allowing you to start an extra quarterback, which is often the highest-scoring position in CFB DFS. Stokastic’s Sims automatically account for the value take this into account by balancing optimal quarterback exposure with contrarian picks, ensuring you maximize the Superflex position while maintaining strong lineup differentiation.
By simulating different lineup combinations, the Sims help you find the perfect balance for your Superflex, giving you access to high-ceiling plays while ensuring you’re not simply mirroring the field. For example, rostering two quarterbacks (one in the Superflex) can increase your upside significantly, but the Sims also evaluate when it might be advantageous to use a high-volume running back or wide receiver in that slot to gain leverage in larger contests.
Conclusion
Stokastic’s CFB DFS Sims are your ultimate tool for building lineups that can compete with the best, whether you’re chasing top prizes in large tournaments or aiming for consistency in smaller contests. With the ability to simulate thousands of lineups, fine-tune ownership projections and optimize the Superflex position, you’ll gain a significant edge over the competition.
