Ben’s Fantasy Journey
Ben’s dive into the world of fantasy football began in 2013, sharing laughs and side bets in his exercise physiology class with college buddies. From those humble beginnings, his passion for the game only grew.

A lifelong devotee of the Detroit Lions, Ben’s loyalty has been tested and proven — he even stuck with them through their infamous 0-16 season in 2008. That kind of dedication is rare, and it’s the same spirit he brings to his fantasy leagues!

In 2022, Ben took his fantasy game to the next level, venturing into dynasty fantasy football with the same crew from his longtime redraft league, affectionately known as the Fantasy Field of Dreams.

From Player to Content Creator
It was during paternity leave for his first daughter in 2023 that Ben discovered a new calling: content creation. He started by contributing to the fantastic team at Dynasty DNA, sharing his insights and analysis. This path soon led him to partner with his now close friend, Austin Jacobson, to forge their own brand: the “Super Dynasty Bros.”

Their expertise quickly caught the eye of FSAN, leading to an exciting partnership and the creation of their current show, “The Dynasty Gambit.” This show is all about helping you win value in your dynasty leagues by applying game theory to dynasty football trades and outcomes. If you’re looking to gain an edge, Ben and Austin have you covered!

The Pro’s Edge
What gives Ben a unique advantage in the fantasy realm? He’s a sports medicine physical therapist right there in Ann Arbor! This professional background provides him with invaluable insight into injury recovery timelines and re-injury rates, giving him an unparalleled edge when assessing player value and predicting outcomes. He understands the physical toll the game takes and how that translates to fantasy production.

Beyond the Gridiron
When he’s not strategizing fantasy football moves or helping athletes recover, Ben is a proud husband and father to two young girls. He calls Ann Arbor home and is also a huge fan of the Michigan Wolverines!
