So I've been legit working on this for 18 months with @dfs_Magic_ and everyone at @OccupyFantasy . A smart DFS lineup builder that builds tournament lineups how I want to build them. An optimizer that's affordable for EVERY DFS player, not just the elite. It's finally ready!

MMA DFS is the greatest sweat, no debate. Here's what it looks like to sweat (and win!) $200,000 on the main event (by yourself at 2am in your basement):

i have two ideas 1) build a DFS site with best-in-industry technology and transparent, responsive customer service. 2) create a sports data feed with high accuracy, expediency, and a backup plan when shit hits the fan not a high bar. hell, could do both at once! who's in?

From @SharpFootball 's book (it's great, buy it): "[Alex] Collins' 50% Success Rate ranked 4th among 32 RBs with 150+ carries, behind only Gurley, Zeke, & Dion Lewis." He also faced the 8th-most difficult run schedule. And had the #1 most injured OL. He's a value this season.

Writing about the Ravens ground game under Greg Roman last season. Haven't seen a more diverse, creative pro running game than this one. The definition of "multiple," that evolved each week based on opponent. So much variation.

2.3% of lineups rostered Amari Cooper at MVP in last night's FanDuel Thursday Million. That's ~17,900 entries. 5.5% of those Amari MVP lineups WERE THE EXACT SAME LINEUP, chopping 1st in a 991-way tie. An unpopular MVP by itself isn't enough differentiation in the largest GPPs

365 days later... The Yahoo bankroll got up to $2500 this week - with 0 deposits! Obviously well short of the goal. But $0 to $2500 should serve as a reminder that it IS possible to grow into a sizeable bankroll w/ out a large starting figure. Full recap in the coming weeks.

Leaving today for vacation for a couple weeks before the NFL grind gets here. The bad: fiancee forgot her passport at home, we missed our flight, so now we're leaving later than expected. The good: now spending way more time than expected in the new Polaris lounge at Dulles

Reminder that if you pride yourself on your knowledge of a single sport... It doesn't matter. I have the keys to every safe (at @OccupyFantasy ) League of Legends, NASCAR, KBO, and now? ✔ UFC

like every year, genuinely, incredibly thankful that my family understands this sick obsession. (my mom asking what the spread in the Detroit game was when I walked in the door explains a lot of things)
