THE SOLVER

When we launched the post-lock contests dashboard on @TheSolverSports, I saw a lot of questions that boiled down to essentially this: "Do the post-lock sims actually mean anything?" I closely analyzed the Game Changer the past two seasons to answer that ⬇️

2026 support is now LIVE in the Best Ball Explorer Your 2025 season data is still fully available – switch seasons from the sidebar as shown here.

@JuanManAcosta19 @EstablishTheRun Congrats, Juan! Great team 🍻

Sweet ending to the NFL season. Thanks to @EstablishTheRun @TheSolverSports team in providing information and tools to make this happen. 🍻

@wahoowaaa @EstablishTheRun Congrats, Sam!

Feels amazing to join the incredible list of Sam's who won big NFL championships this season - Sam Sherman, Sam Shepard, and Sam Darnold Drafted, of course, with ranks from @EstablishTheRun and tools from @TheSolverSports

@Nazvb07 What sport/slate/projection set are you noticing an issue?

@gtemp100 @JustinHerzig @adamlevitan likely by early next week

@JustinHerzig when will the bestball explorer be ready for 2026 big board uploads? @adamlevitan

@Roto_Run @TheBadgeBros @EstablishTheRun @UnabatedSports @Underdog congrats Jon! GL in LA!

wild to think #HoopsGuy started as a bit much love to UD, the community, Nez/Pete, Unabated, Solver, and ETR sub to @TheBadgeBros for a chance to be my plus one in LA

@HillCalder Our dev team is actively working on this and expects to have support for pre-draft best ball contests live sometime this week.

@TheSolverSports when is support for 2026 best ball coming?

@daviddamron Hey David, Draft Assistant subs won't be paused until next season, so you will have to cancel on your own if you weren't planning on drafting until closer to next season. Let us know if you have any more questions!

@TheSolverSports Just curious - - do we cancel our UD Draft Asst NFL subscription with NFL over (other than SB) or is it automatically stopped? Thanks!

Was quite the weekend for #DFS and #boyswhocook. Helps if you don't tilt the 4 games as they're happening and wait for the final. Thanks to @EstablishTheRun for the podcasts and content and @TheSolverSports for the tools. Breakfast tastes a lot better this morning. #MLKDay2026

@TheRickkSays If you email support@thesolver.com we can take a look for you!

@TheSolverSports did you stop ingesting Ship it showdown projections? I see classic still

If you’re playing daily NBA drafts on @Underdog I highly recommend doing these 3 things. Subscribe and become a member of @TheBadgeBros YouTube channel. Sub to @MikeZakarian Substack. Check out the @TheSolverSports

As always, make sure you're on the latest version of the extension. Steps 1 here should do that, if it doesn't, continue with the rest of the steps: docs.google.com/document/d/e/2…

We've updated our Draft Assistant to support the "NFL Playoff Returns" format on both UnderDog and DraftKings for this week's contests.

If you've ever played Best Ball, suspect you'll enjoy this show from last week. Huge thanks to @Sherman_FFB and @sshepard3 for coming on and telling their stories.

@hypegotti yes!

@TheSolverSports does the best ball draft extension work on playoff best ball?

To manually update the Draft Assistant to v2.17.0, follow the steps pictured: One quick reminder: Playoff Best Ball is inherently complex. The Draft Assistant is designed to support strong decision-making, not replace it. Some baseline playoff BB strategy is still required, and blindly drafting purely off scores isn’t recommended.

We’ve rolled out an update to our Playoff Best Ball Draft Assistant. Key improvements include: • A new Bye Week framework to help ensure you can field a full Round 1 lineup • A new Wildcard Round matchup framework to avoid over-stacking teams facing each other early • Added AFC & NFC options to the manual boost/dock/DND widget If the update didn’t install automatically (Version 2.17.0), you can manually update using the steps below.

If you want to check out the Draft Assistant Sam used, we currently support NFL Playoff Best Ball. Draft Assistant: thesolver.com/pricing/bestba… Tutorial: youtu.be/pmfvzcSClvQ?si…

Huge shoutout to Sam for taking down the DraftKings Best Ball Millionaire for $2,000,000 🏆 Absolutely unreal run. Congrats on an incredible win!
