Most fantasy advice reads a stat sheet. Coach Dan reads the game.

On Coached Up with Coach Dan, a football coach puts on the fantasy hat and brings a sideline view to your lineup. Each week Dan looks at the matchups, snap counts, game scripts, and coaching tendencies that decide who breaks out and who flops. He makes the start/sit calls, names the waiver-wire pickups before your league-mates find them, and tells you which trades to chase and which to avoid.

Whether you're in a home league with your buddies or grinding through a high-stakes draft, Coach Dan gives you a game plan every week. No fluff, just coaching.
