Learn about the cash-winning experts who make up the next generation Daily Fantasy Sports at FullTime DFS!

Stephen Renner (MLB, NFL, NHL) has been playing fantasy sports for decades and more recently transitioned into DFS with a primary focus on MLB, NFL and NHL sports. Renner brought his “DongersClub” MLB write-ups to the FullTime Fantasy message boards in the Spring of 2016 and promptly became a Scout sensation with his unique and to the point write-ups which included predicting nine unique players to hit a home run. His legendary Sunday in June of 2016 where all nine players went yard was just one of many MLB 1K + wins that he has under his belt. Steve’s secondary sports are NFL and NHL where he is mostly a cash game player but has had top 10 finishes in higher dollar tournaments each of the past few seasons.

Steve Hillman (NFL, NBA, MLB), known throughout the DFS industry as FuegoSteve, has been playing fantasy sports for over 30 years. However, after focusing his play on just the daily game, he has stormed onto the DFS scene over the past two years. He has quickly risen up the rankings and is now considered one of the best players in the industry for MLB, NBA, and NFL. Fuego has won numerous GPPs the past year including qualifying for the 2017 FanDuel NBA Championships. Finishing 43rd, he defeated half the field, including many well-known professionals and experts across the DFS industry. Focusing mainly on tournament play, Fuego specializes in single and multi-entry GPPs, qualifiers, game theory, small slates, roster construction, and has a knack for projecting ownership percentages.

Chris Rose (MLB, NFL) has been playing Fantasy Sports for 10 years and Daily Fantasy for about 3 years. A former Division 1 football player at Central Connecticut where he won 2 conference champions, Rose clearly knows sports better than most. A current military helicopter electrician down in South Florida, he enjoys life with his wife, who has owned a gym for six years, and two sons (5) and (2). Rose has coached high school football and baseball, also currently coaching his 5 year-old’s T-ball team. He qualified for a seat in the FanDuel WFBC final in San Diego this year and has won $35K thus far this year. Last year, he won over $70K! Rose plays high stakes games, and predominantly GPPs about 98% of the time. His analysis is transparent, and does as much digging into little tidbits of statistics to find that one GPP winning play.

Shawn Childs (MLB, NFL) has been a high stakes Fantasy baseball and football player since 2004 where he had success in his first season (three titles and $25,000 in winnings). In early years of the high stakes market in Fantasy baseball, he was ahead of the curve in player evaluation, draft value, and free agent bidding setting up four top-five finishes in the National Fantasy Baseball Championship. He has four AL-only Auction titles, one NL-only title, and five Main Event titles plus an overall title in 2012 at RTFBC (netted $10,000). This success led to an induction into the NFBC Baseball Hall of Fame. His success in the high stakes market led to a career in providing Fantasy Baseball and Fantasy Football content. On the football side, he’s competed and won in all different formats – auctions, draft championship, main events, and high-dollar leagues. He won 2nd place overall in the 2014 Most Accurate Salary Cap Expert contest at FantasyPros.

As a dual-sport player, it was natural to transition to the daily games where he is a “swing for the fences type of guy.” Childs has appeared in one FanDuel NFL Live Final and one DraftKings NFL Live Final, a season-ending tournament which led to a couple of chances to win over $1,000,000. His best day in DFS came in the summer of 2016 when a wild ride netted $70,000 and a chance to participate in the finals of the FanDuel MLB Live Championship where the winner would take home $250,000. Childs believes that Fantasy sports are a great outlet in life where a person’s passion can turn into a big win. As much as he’s won in Fantasy sports, Childs has also lost many battles. The down days are what motivates him to be a better player and help others find the potential pitfalls in Fantasy Sports. Childs provides weekly quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end reports that are one of the many perks of the NFL DFS package. You won’t find reports more in-depth than those written by Childs. In baseball, he is one of the few writers in the country to tackle the whole player pool. This gives a Fantasy owner a consistent view throughout the inventory each season.

Casey Olson (MMA) has played in fantasy football and baseball leagues since the late 90’s. Then came mixed martial arts. With the continuing rise of popularity with the sport, he can say he’s been a fan since UFC 1. As the sport grew to what it is today, he began posting very successful predictions merely as a hobby. Along with picking winners, Casey began playing on smaller MMA DFS sites before DraftKings began offering the sport. He won large tournaments, and folks on social media quickly took notice. With the growth of players and the tournaments getting bigger and bigger, Casey looks forward to being a part of the FullTime Fantasy team and providing MMA data and input. He also participates in MLB and NFL DFS contests and finished 8th in the 2015 NFL Super Contest in Las Vegas.
