fantasy-sports-research

Compare public daily-fantasy contest formats, rules, slates, and source-published player projections from DraftKings and FanDuel. Use for fantasy-sports research, not lineup or wager recommendations.

Produce a source-attributed overview of contest formats or projection inputs from DraftKings DFS/Pick6 and FanDuel Research. Use scripts/crawlora.sh or the named Crawlora tools; read the generated endpoint reference for exact fields.

Discover the relevant product and slate

• Start with DraftKings sport, rules, or Pick6 directories for product and format questions. The featured NFL Best Ball endpoint returns the cards on that landing page, not the complete contest lobby or a guarantee that an entry is currently available.
• For FanDuel projections, read the projection tables first to discover valid type, position, and scope values. For DAILY projections, retrieve the matching sport/date slate and pass its exact slate_id to the projections request. IDs and format codes are source-specific.
• Preserve sport, slate/date/week, projection type, position, scope, and retrieval time. Do not compare projections from different slates or scoring systems as if they were the same measurement.

Interpret contest and projection evidence

• Label projections as provider estimates, not actual results, guarantees, or independent forecasts. Keep salary, projected points, and value fields in their source units; do not turn them into an expected return or winning probability.
• DraftKings public guides, rules, and scoring pages describe product formats. They do not establish a user's location eligibility, contest access, or account status. The Pick6 sports directory is a dated help-center snapshot; keep its restriction note attached to that source.
• Use displayed fees, prizes, and entry limits only when the selected public contest card supplies them. Do not infer the full lobby or contest capacity from a featured list.
• Do not produce lineups, tell a user which player to select, or recommend an entry fee. Explain the source's contest rules and projection fields instead.

Deliverable

Return a concise format matrix or slate table with source date, sport, contest type, selection scope, and important unavailable fields. Separate official rules from provider projections and label estimates plainly.
