What DFS Hero does
The pieces of DFS Hero, from the Day View to late swap, how they connect into one loop, and which plan fits which player.
The DFS Hero loop
One NFL Sunday from start to finish: download the entries file, upload it, build, simulate, fill your entries, export, upload to DraftKings, and late swap after the early games lock.
Your first build
A 10-minute first build with the defaults: open a slate, click Build, read the lineups panel, simulate one contest, and read the results.
Create your account
Sign up with your email, verify your phone, pick Essential or Power, start the $1 for 5 days trial, sign in, and reset a password.
Plans: Essential and Power
Essential and Power side by side: the 500 and 10,000 lineup caps, Playbooks and cloud builds, Hero Chat, Hero IQ, Replay, late swap, the $1 for 5 days trial, and pausing.
Navigate the app
The top bar, the slate tabs, the bell, the Hero Chat and help buttons, the avatar drawer, the command palette, keyboard shortcuts, and the phone layout.
Hero Academy
The welcome card on the Day View, the Loop rail in the workspace, the Academy tab in Help & Updates with four lesson tracks, and four one-time hints that teach the loop on your own slates.
