Jordan Vanek
Jordan has been playing DFS since 2016 and started writing content at the end of 2020. While playing DFS, he has managed multiple top 10 finishes in NFL, College Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Nascar. His work has been featured on Yahoo Sports, 4for4, and Stokastic, previously known as Awesemo. He believes in mixing a film approach with analytics in his DFS process, and that is where he believes he has found an edge.
He attended the University of Central Florida, where he was a player personnel intern for the football team. While at UCF, he worked for the Orlando Magic and the Orlando City Soccer clubs. While in high school, he went to school with the likes of Calvin Ridley, Riley Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, and Gregory Rousseau.
