The NFL pool holds QB, RB, WR, TE, K, and D; the CFB pool QB, RB, WR, TE, K, and DST; the NHL pool C, W, and D. Soccer differs: the MVP must be a forward or a midfielder, the other seats are three F/M and two D, and goalkeepers are out.
How it works
The team limits in the tables are ceilings. You can tighten them in Build Settings, but you cannot loosen them past the site's rule. See Min/Max tab.
The MLB limits count hitters and pitchers separately: at most 5 hitters plus a pitcher from one team on DraftKings, 4 hitters plus a pitcher on FanDuel. The stack sizes in the Stacks tab follow the same ceiling. See Stacks tab.
Golf, NASCAR, MMA, tennis, and F1 are individual sports with no Team or Opp column and no Stacks or Min/Max tab. See Sport rules by sport.
