Hello Everyone,

This is Mike Braude — I’m filling in for Dalton this season to send out player props. I wanted to quickly introduce myself and share a little background.

Background

My love for fantasy sports and betting started young. When I was 10, my dad and I joined a private league called the Cactus League, and I was hooked right away. Draft days were spent in a bar with adults while I kept the draft grid and crossed names off my list. We won that league multiple times, and by college I was playing fantasy contests online and writing about football anywhere I could.

That path eventually led me to RotoViz, where I was invited by Shawn Siegele. At the time, RotoViz was the epicenter of cutting-edge fantasy strategy — Shawn unleashed his Zero RB strategy to the world, while names like Davis Mattek, Matthew Freedman, Pat Kerrane, Ben Gretch, and Peter Overzet were all contributing. If you didn’t read RotoViz, you were behind.
