Founder of NovaPredict. Fantasy football player for 25+ years, former national fantasy magazine writer, and founder of Atomic Design.
I have played fantasy football for more than twenty-five years, and I win money at it every year. Before NovaPredict I wrote for and worked on national fantasy football magazines, back when the rankings were printed in ink and you could not quietly edit them after the games. That constraint stuck with me: if you are going to tell people who to draft, you should be on the record.
I also spent nearly thirty years running Atomic Design, a digital marketing and SEO agency I founded in 1996, measuring what actually moves the needle and getting burned every time I trusted a confident number that could not show its work. NovaPredict is those two careers pointed at the same problem: start from the sharpest signal available, model the full range of outcomes instead of a single guess, and grade every call in public, misses included.
NovaPredict’s projections begin from the sharp betting markets, the one place in sports where being wrong costs real money. We rebuild every player from that baseline, rank by value over replacement, and publish a Divergence Score wherever our read parts from the market. No backtested accuracy claims, no numbers that quietly change after kickoff. I write the player profiles and the analysis here, and if a projection is wrong, the record will say so.
