Notorious's Scouting Report
Derek Farnsworth, aka Notorious, is one of the most recognizable names and faces in all of DFS, thanks in large part to the great advice he gives on a daily basis in RotoGrinders.com’s Grind Down for NBA and MLB as well as the First Look column that gives a preview of the day’s games from a DFS perspective. Before joining the RotoGrinders team, Derek received a Masters Degree from the University of Utah. When he’s not busy providing content, he’s dominating the industry as evidenced by his consistent top rankings in multiple sports. Farnsworth provides expert analysis for RotoGrinders Premium members on a daily basis all year long (NBA, NFL, MLB) and has also been nominated for five different Fantasy Sports Writer’s Association (FSWA) awards. You can see a full accounting of Derek’s live final and DFS accomplishments by viewing his trophy case.
