Dave Ventresca is a fantasy football, NFL Betting, and NASCAR DFS contributor for RotoBaller. He has been creating fantasy football content for the last three years and has been nominated for several FSWA awards. Dave got into fantasy football when his father returned home late one night following his own fantasy football draft. Dave was immediately captivated by the idea. He promptly recruited all his buddies to join his first fantasy football league at the age of 12 and has been hooked ever since. As a result, Dave is now an NFL handicapper and avid fantasy football player. He plays in over 60 fantasy football leagues, many of which are high stakes, so you can be sure that he is willing to put his money where his mouth is when it comes to fantasy football advice. Dave is also a huge NASCAR racing fan and has closely followed all three of its top racing series for over two decades.

Third-Year Fantasy Football Draft Values: Upside Picks At A Discount (2025)

Over the last few years, we have increasingly seen fantasy football managers lean into youth more than ever before.
