Dawn Tepper

149 articles

I've been in the Fantasy & Daily Fantasy trenches for over fifteen years—my first baseball draft taking place in a co-worker's garage after which I was harassed for selecting Bartolo Colón (I don't remember which pick he was, but it turned out alright). For nearly three years, I've been writing about the sports I love, specializing in fantasy/DFS baseball and Fantasy/DFS football. I love combining nerdy stats with gut feelings, and while I don't win 'em all, I love every minute. When I'm not analyzing pitcher splits or identifying sleeper running backs, you can find me on the golf course or trash-talking the competitors in my weekly NFL pool. My passion for fantasy sports extends beyond the keyboard; I love engaging with the community and helping both newcomers and seasoned players improve their game. Follow my insights and analysis on Twitter/X at @dawntepper_.
