    The Core Idea

    Projections Tell You What Might Happen. Salary Tells You What Has To Happen.

    Fantasy points do not carry the same value at every salary. Game Changer teaches you to evaluate players by the score their current DraftKings price requires — then use Smash History to see how often they have produced that kind of return before.

    Inside The Guide
    What You'll Learn
    Game Changer is designed to give you a repeatable framework for thinking about salary, history and tournament decisions.
