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.

Running Back Fantasy Football Sleepers for ZeroRB Builds: Middle-Round Draft Values (2025)

For years, Zero RB has been a favorite and highly effective draft strategy for many fantasy football gamers. This approach works best in full PPR leagues, where you can start up to four wide receivers in your starting lineup. The idea is that you lean away from the fragility of the running back position and […]

As we enter September and fantasy football drafts wind down, it's time to start shifting our focus to Week 1. Start/sit decisions are never easy, so now's a good time to start thinking ahead. That is very important if you waited to select a tight end in your draft. If you went that direction, you're […]

Should I Draft Pat Bryant, Tory Horton, or Jaylin Lane? Fantasy Football Outlooks for Rookie WRs

For many years, it was a long-standing truth among fantasy football players to fade rookies in their league's annual draft. That's because it would often take rookies a few years to fully develop before becoming usable fantasy assets. That’s not been the case in recent years, though, as gamers have grown accustomed to rookies delivering […]

Fantasy Football League-Winners: Dave Ventresca's 6 Must-Draft Players (2025)

It’s hard to believe we are approaching the end of August. The start of another NFL season is upon us.

5 Fantasy Football Auction Values to Draft: $1 Undervalued Sleepers

2025 fantasy football drafts are already underway. While most prefer a traditional snake draft, many fantasy managers prefer to play in auction leagues. If you’ve never joined an auction league (sometimes referred to as salary cap leagues), I highly suggest doing so. It’s a unique fantasy football experience and is a great alternative to traditional […]

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. This is largely because we have had a plethora of young players enter the league and immediately return elite results. However, just because a player isn’t a high-end contributor right out of the gates doesn’t mean […]

5 League-Winning Fantasy Football Breakouts: Second-Year Players to Target and Draft (2025)

While fantasy football managers used to avoid rookies like the plague, their approach towards them has softened in recent years. This is mainly due to the number of rookies recently entering the league and immediately producing like seasoned veterans. However, not all players hit the ground running in their first year. While some players excel […]

NASCAR DFS Picks (Xfinity Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the Wawa 250 at Daytona (2025)

After an off weekend, the NASCAR Xfinity Series returns this Friday night. The race to the Xfinity Series Playoffs is on, and we only have four races left until the playoffs begin.

Who Should I Draft? Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle Fantasy Football Outlooks

The Miami Dolphins enter the 2025 season facing a lot of questions. Head coach Mike McDaniel could be on the hot seat as he has yet to win a playoff game in his three years as Miami's head coach. Some of that is due to bad luck regarding the health of franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. […]

Travis Etienne, Tank Bigsby, Bhayshul Tuten - Who To Draft for Fantasy Football? Jaguars RB Outlooks

Despite the fragility of the position, running backs have long been a staple of many championship fantasy football teams. The position carries huge upside, and this leads to many gamers chasing that legendary production early in their drafts. However, some gamers prefer to avoid the position early in drafts and, instead, select high-upside backs in […]

Who Should I Draft for Fantasy Football? Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore, Jakobi Meyers Outlooks (2025)

While we saw the running back position make a comeback last year, wide receivers were still crucial to fantasy football success. That means it’s imperative that fantasy gamers still take time to evaluate which receivers they should target in their annual fantasy football draft. Luckily, the wide receiver position is very deep this year. There […]

Dynasty RB1 Candidates: 5 Running Backs Who Could Dethrone Bijan Robinson in Fantasy Football (2025)

As we enter the 2025 NFL season, dynasty rankings have begun to stabilize. Throughout the offseason, rankings can fluctuate significantly. This can be due to the slightest bit of breaking news or a major transaction. One thing that has remained relatively steady this offseason is that Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been consistently ranked as […]

Who Should I Draft? Breece Hall, Braelon Allen Fantasy Football Outlooks

The New York Jets enter the 2025 season with a new head coach, general manager, and starting quarterback. The team signed veteran signal-caller Justin Fields this offseason to lead the offense. Fields has never been a particularly effective passer, so the Jets will likely deploy a run-first offense. With that being the case, the New […]

Why Kenneth Walker III is a League-Winning RB in Fantasy Football (2025)

Any experienced fantasy football manager knows the importance of rostering elite running backs. The position carries legendary upside, and if you draft the correct back, he can single-handedly carry your team to a title. While running the football had fallen out of favor in recent years, running backs made a big comeback in 2024. We […]

6 Overvalued Fantasy Football Picks to Avoid - Dave's All-Bust Team (2025)

Every year, dedicated fantasy football managers spend hours trying to figure out which players they should select in their annual fantasy football draft. What’s equally important, but sometimes overlooked, is identifying which players you should actively avoid. Busts are not fun to discuss. It’s much more enjoyable to talk about the players you think will […]


NASCAR DFS Picks (Craftsman Truck Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the Eero 250 at Richmond (2025)

Corey Heim's dominant 2025 season continued last week at Watkins Glen. Heim led 44 of 81 laps and scored his sixth victory of the season. Heim has comfortably won the regular season title, and it's going to be hard for anyone to beat him once the Truck Series Playoffs begin. Speaking of the playoffs, the […]

Who Should I Draft? Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason Fantasy Football Outlooks

The Minnesota Vikings offense could look much different this year with second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy set to take over as the team's QB1. With a first-year starting quarterback, we can probably expect Minnesota to rely heavily on its running game to help out its young signal-caller. Last year's RB1, Aaron Jones, re-signed with the team […]
