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.

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 […]

Fantasy Football Start/Sit - Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, Elijah Arroyo Outlooks for Week 1

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. That also means we will see many fantasy football drafts take place over the next several days before the new season begins. For context, I love fantasy football. It is a true passion of mine, […]

CBS Fantasy Football Value Picks and Sleepers: Upside Draft Targets for CBS Leagues (2025)

As we enter the home stretch before the start of another NFL season, fantasy football leagues everywhere are hosting their annual draft. No matter how much experience you have, there can be a lot of pressure when you enter the war room. That’s why managers must enter their drafts fully prepared to handle whatever comes […]

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 […]

5 Auction League Draft Targets for Fantasy Football: Sleepers for $10 or Less (2025)

The NFL preseason is in the books. The next time we see NFL action, it will be when the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys square off on Thursday, September 4th, to begin Week 1. With the start of the season almost here, fantasy football drafts are in full swing. While most gamers join traditional snake […]

Fantasy Football Auction Draft Strategy: Budget Builds, Targets & Nomination Tips (2025)

As we approach the end of August, we begin the homestretch toward the 2025 fantasy football season. Over the next few days, managers will diligently prepare for their league’s annual fantasy football draft. This is an extremely important step, especially if you play in an auction league. Like any fantasy football league, though, it’s not […]

7 Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Targets, Buy Candidates for Rebuilding Teams (2025)

If you’ve ever played dynasty football, then you’re familiar with the general dynamics of a dynasty league. A handful of owners go into win-now mode to compete for the title, while others decide to rebuild and stock up for the future. Trading is essential if you decide to go the rebuild route. There are several […]

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. Rookie sensation Connor Zilisch won the series’ most recent event at Watkins Glen. However, a freak accident in which Zilisch fell off his […]

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 […]


Calvin Ridley - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL DFS Picks, Draft Sleepers

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 […]


Breece Hall - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

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 […]


Kenneth Walker III - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

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 […]


Aaron Jones - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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 […]

6 Fantasy Football Draft Targets, Sleepers for Deep Leagues (2025)

The 2025 Hall of Fame Game is in the books. That means the preseason has begun and football is officially back.

Any experienced gamer knows that if you want to crush your competition, you […]

NASCAR DFS Picks (Xfinity Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the Mission 200 at The Glen (2025)

We’re back with another round of Xfinity Series action this weekend. Sam Mayer captured the checkered flag last week at Iowa. The win was his first of the year and marked his second consecutive victory at Iowa Speedway. This week, the series makes a right-hand turn and heads to Watkins Glen International for some road […]

NASCAR DFS Picks (Craftsman Truck Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the Mission 176 at The Glen (2025)

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is back following an off weekend. Layne Riggs won the most recent Truck Series race two weeks ago at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The victory was his second of the year. The series heads to upstate New York this weekend as it makes a stop at Watkins Glen International. […]

NFL training camps are officially underway, and before we know it, the regular season will begin, too. As the start of another NFL season inches closer, it also means we are approaching the start of fantasy football draft season. For context, I love fantasy football. I play in upwards of 60 total fantasy football leagues […]

NASCAR DFS Picks (Xfinity Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for the HyVee Perks 250 at Iowa (2025)

Last Saturday was a wild day for the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We were trending well with our DFS picks last week, but unfortunately, things took an ugly turn in the final 15 laps. Kyle Larson got into Justin Allgaier when the former got loose trying to make a pass. Things really […]

16 Fantasy Football Bold Predictions (NFC Edition) - Malik Nabers, Bijan Robinson, J.J. McCarthy, Mike Evans, A.J. Brown, Kyren Williams, Miles Sanders

Fortune favors the bold. Or so the old saying goes. That is often the case when it comes to playing fantasy football. While it’s fun to get excited and draft the players you’re most confident in, it remains true that you don’t win your league on draft day. However, it’s also true that you don’t […]

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

The NASCAR Xfinity Series returns to the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend. The series made its debut at the track back in 2012. It ran on the oval through 2019 before taking a four-year break to run the track's Grand Prix circuit. The oval made its return to the series last year, though, and […]

NASCAR DFS Picks (Craftsman Truck Series): DraftKings Lineup Plays for TSport 200 at IRP (2025)

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns this Friday night after nearly a month break in the action. Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (IRP) is next on the schedule. The series took an 11-year break from the track but returned in 2022. Since the series' return, Ty Majeski has been dominant at IRP. He's won the […]

5 Fantasy Football Late-Round WR1 Candidates: Wide Receiver Value Picks and Sleepers for 2025

Regardless of the size or skill level of your fantasy football league, there are core strategy elements that always remain the same. Finding quality wide receivers is one of them.
