Hey there everybody! I’m CJ Kaltenbach, one of the RotoGrinders hosts and writers. I go by the handle ‘cjkalt’ on most DFS sites (theseige on Fantasy Aces and FantasyDraft) and am ranked in the top 50 overall. The folks at RotoGrinders (aka Smartwater asked me very nicely) wondered if I was willing to do an AMA, so I obliged.
Some basic facts about me:
- Started working for Daily Fantasy Bootcamp in May 2015 and joined Rotogrinders staff in February of 2016. Created the NBA marketplace package) in October of 2016 (If you haven’t checked it out, what are you waiting for?
- I started playing Daily Fantasy Sports in September of 2014
- I’m a licensed attorney in Missouri
- Boston sports teams and fans are the best in the world
- I have a law degree from Saint Louis University and a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemical Engineering from Notre Dame
- I hold season tickets for STL FC, which is a Division II soccer team
That just about covers it for the basics, so fire away!

Awesome! First question… who would win in a MMA fight between you and DraftCheat?
Are you from Boston? And if not, why all the Boston love? I am from Boston and thought the rest of the world hated us..
do you also practice law on the side? If not and there was no DFS, what would you specialize in?
How much sexual tension would you say there is between you and @DraftCheat?
What (or who) made you decide to start playing DFS? – and at what point did you realize “ the seige is this shit at this “ and starting playing professionally?
At what point did you decide to play DFS professionally and was there a key event or win that confirmed that decision for you? Have you always played higher stakes/volume?
What is your go to meal when you go to Chilli’s?
Dion Lewis super chalk this weekend? Fade?
Please convince me I can cash in the night slate while fading Enes Kanter. Thanks.

DC has the skills advantage but the weight advantage would be too much over 3 rounds for him to handle

Originally from Newton so born and raised in the Boston area, and the rest of the world does hate us but they are wrong

Not really anymore, with all my role expansions here at RG don’t have the appropriate time, but would specialize in DUI defense

What is the best DFS month you’ve ever had?

how were you able to gain an edge when you were starting out??
You’ve got me curious… What’s an example of a strong DUI defense?
More On-Topic – Let’s say a bench player is getting a spot-start. What kind of information donyounuse to decide whether it’s a good play or a trap? For example, McBuckets had a nice game yesterday but a few days earlier was a dud.
Is there any way to anticipate and steer clear of the traps?

When I was finally willing to take stands both ways… and by that I mean not only fade guys I didn’t like at 0% but be willing to play 100% of guys I loved

I just have a lot of ND polos, they look semi-professional and I’m not a T-Shirt person so I just wear polos around, and then the green one became a sensation (mostly a Kcannon thing)
Best DFS month was December 2015, won the aces CFB, took 2nd in aces NFL, Q’d for DK final, took 30th in that and then went to Florida and max Q’d the Playboy final first 3 days of qualifiers.
