Cap Room - Beat the Salary Cap

A daily budget, real 2026 cap hits, and five roster slots: quarterback, running back, two receivers, and a tight end. Stars eat the cap, value picks win the day. When you lock your room in, we show you the mathematically optimal lineup for the budget and grade how close you got. This is the actual job: production per dollar under a constraint.

Frequently asked questions

How does Cap Room work?

Pick one QB, one RB, two WRs, and one TE from a pool of real players with their actual 2026 salary cap hits, staying under the daily budget. Your lineup's production is scored against the computed optimal lineup.

Are the salaries real?

Yes. Cap hits come from real 2026 NFL contract data, the same numbers used across StickToTheModel's cap tools.
