About
It started in elementary school. I played in my first league with my older brothers and cousins. I had no idea what I was doing and was clearly the taco of the league.
In my defense, they threw me straight into the deep end. We played with IDPs. Who introduces a kid to fantasy football with IDPs? Diabolical haha.
For whatever reason, my favorite player at the time was Eagles kicker David Akers. I repeat: David Akers. So of course I took him in the 3rd round. Other notable picks included drafting Mike Vrabel in the 2nd, and Tom Brady at 1.01. The Brady pick was defensible until you remembered it was the year after LT had scored 28 touchdowns and was the most surefire 1.01 of all time.

Thankfully by middle school, I started getting the hang of things and even became commissioner of my own league.
I still remember walking around at recess collecting everyone's crinkled-up five dollar bill in a white envelope labeled "league pot" that I'd stash in my room. We'd do our drafts in the computer lab. And, my entire draft strategy was based on (1) whatever I remembered from reading ESPN's fantasy football magazine in Barnes & Noble and (2) Matthew Berry's annual love/hate article.

And all these years later, not much has changed. I still make the occasional taco pick. Mike Vrabel is still a dawg. And, fantasy football is still a staple in my friend groups and family.
Now – and what's next
I love building websites and creating things for people to use. What you see here is a collection of things I wished existed, figured other people probably did too, and so I went out and built them.
I try my best to make each tool and game well-designed, clean, and easy to use. It's a labor of love, and I hope they help you enjoy all the sports we love a little more.
Everything I make is 100% free. The best thing you can do to support the site is sharing it with a friend :)
