Build your own lineups in the kitchen. Or let the Chef cook for you.
The DFS Chef serves up DraftKings lineups every slate on Twitter. Or step into the Kitchen and build your own, with the same daily projections, an exact-solver optimizer, and live 5,000-sim Monte Carlo testing. Two ways to eat. One DFS Kitchen.
What you get when you cook in our kitchen ($50/mo). The Twitter subscription is simpler — finished lineups, served and ready — but if you want to build your own, this is what's on the counter.
Median, ceiling, floor, and ownership — refreshed before every main slate across all 9 sports. The chef does the homework so you don't have to.
5,000 Monte Carlo sims run on your lineup in under a second. See your Cash %, Top 10 %, and Win % before the slate locks. Know what you're submitting.
Pick your core, let the chef finish the rest. Or build the whole lineup yourself, with sport-aware roster rules and salary cap handled automatically.
Disagree with a projection? Think a player's ownership is too high? Tap +/− on any player and watch the simulator recalculate your odds in real time.
Cash, GPP, leverage, value, chalk — flip a dropdown and the auto-builder rebuilds your lineup for a completely different contest strategy. Five optimizers in one. No upsells.
One click exports your finished lineup as a DK-formatted CSV. Drop into DraftKings' bulk upload tool and you're done in 30 seconds.
For every sport, our optimizer uses an exact mathematical solver — guaranteed highest-scoring lineup possible within the salary cap.
Every lineup gets 5,000 randomized simulations. See Cash %, Top 10 %, and Win % calibrated to true-optimal benchmarks.
Every metric in the kitchen has a hover-tooltip explaining what it means. The chef teaches as you build.
Every slate displays a live timestamp showing exactly when the chef last refreshed projections.
Captain slot math (1.5× salary, 1.5× points) handled automatically for MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and CFB Showdown contests. Same exact solver, single-game ruleset — flip a dropdown to switch from Classic to Showdown.
See a player you love? Lock them in. The builder fills every other slot around your picks — keeping your conviction plays untouchable while still optimizing the rest of the lineup for max projection or ownership.
Most DFS optimizers are vending machines — set parameters, press button, get 150 lineups you don't fully trust. The Kitchen is the opposite. You and the chef cook one good build together, refine it until you love it, then submit with confidence. — The DFS Chef

Answers to what new subscribers usually ask.
The Twitter subscription ($20/mo via @dfskitchen) is the Chef plating finished lineups for you each slate — Main, Cash, Single-Entry, GPP, and Chef's Special, posted directly to your Twitter timeline before lock. You read, copy, paste into DraftKings, and play.
The Kitchen optimizer ($50/mo) is a full lineup-building tool. You get the same daily projections the Chef cooks with, plus a provably-optimal builder so you can construct your own lineups, simulate them, and customize every play. Same chef-grade data — you do the cooking.
One is "let the Chef cook", the other is "cook in the kitchen". Different tools, same Chef.
Absolutely — they're separate subscriptions and many subscribers do both. A common pattern: use the Chef's Twitter lineups for cash games where consensus is fine, and use the optimizer to build differentiated GPP lineups for tournaments. Different tools for different contests.
It's Twitter's native paid Subscriptions feature. Visit twitter.com/dfskitchen, tap the Subscribe button on the profile, and pay $20/mo through Twitter's checkout. You'll see all subscriber-only lineups in your feed and in the @dfskitchen Subscribers tab — and you can cancel any time from your Twitter settings. No separate account to create.
The kitchen is built on DraftKings classic-contest rules and roster constructions. Salaries and projections come from DK pre-contest data, and the export CSV plugs straight into DK's bulk upload tool.
Every main slate gets new projections before lock. Confirmed lineups, weather, line moves, and injury news are baked in. The chef tip in the kitchen header tells you when each slate was last updated and what plays the chef is highest on.
One lineup at a time, refined and simulated. The kitchen is built around the 99% of DFS players who run 1–3 lineups per slate and want help making each one count — not the small minority playing 150-entry max GPPs. We'd rather build one lineup you trust than 150 you don't.
When your roster is full, hit "Run Lineup Simulation" and the kitchen runs 5,000 Monte Carlo simulations of how your lineup could play out — using each player's mean, ceiling, and floor distributions. You get back a Median expected score, 10th-percentile Floor, 90th-percentile Ceiling, plus your projected Cash %, Top 10 %, and Win %. All in under a second, in your browser.
Each mode tells the auto-builder what to maximize when filling your lineup:
Projection — highest median expected points. Best for cash games (50/50s, double-ups, head-to-heads) where you just need to beat half the field.
Ownership — highest summed ownership %. Builds the "chalk" lineup the field consensus loves. Useful as a baseline to compare against, or for safe cash plays.
Value — highest points per $1,000 salary. Maximizes efficiency. Great when you're trying to fit one star plus several mid-priced contributors.
Ceiling — highest 90th-percentile outcomes. Best for GPP tournaments where you need upside, not safety, to take down a big field.
Leverage — projection divided by √(ownership+1). Rewards low-owned high-projection plays. Best for large-field GPPs where you need to differentiate from the chalk.
Absolutely. Every player row has +/− buttons next to projection and ownership. Tap them to bump up or down, and the simulation recalculates instantly with your numbers. The chef does the daily research, but you make the final call on every play.
Not currently — but you can cancel any time from your account portal.
None. The kitchen handles roster construction, salary cap, position eligibility, and stacking automatically. Pick a player, see how the rest of your lineup updates, hit Run Simulation. The chef is in the kitchen with you the whole way.
