ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Author Image
Jim Coventry
Jim knows fantasy players have plenty of options when it comes to fantasy experts. His advice is simple: ask for receipts. He's been playing fantasy football since 1994, covering it professionally since 2006 and was the FSWA Football Writer of the Year in 2022. Jim's been with RotoWire and on SiriusXM since 2016. Through that time, he's accomplished one of the rarest feats in the industry -- a 2x King's Classic Triple Crown Champion, a 14-team, three-flex format engineered to strip out luck and stack the field with the sharpest minds in the game. Jim is successful because he studies the NFL like a scout and turns the same data everyone has access to into an edge. The track record isn't hype. It's receipts. Jim will help you win your share of leagues.

Ian Hartitz
Ian played linebacker at the University of Chicago and graduated with a fancy finance degree that he has pretty much never used because he understands ball is life. From the Action Network, to RotoWorld, to PFF and most recently Matthew Berry's Fantasy Life, Ian has spent more than 10 years grinding fantasy football edges as a full-time gig, winning plenty of high-stakes leagues and having all sorts of fun along the way. More than 220,000 people follow "The Mayor of NFL Twitter" @ihartitz for his deep film analysis, usage trends, "Sheesh" beyond-the-box-score stats and general good vibes. Ian believes every day is a great day to be great and consistently provides uniquely entertaining, yet actionable, prowess to the fantasy football and gambling worlds. Outside of football Ian enjoys golfing (badly) and spending time with his wife and dumb dachshunds.
