Bio

Kelly’s fantasy sports journey began in 2002, when she drafted Adam Dunn, accidentally discovered the joy of three-true-outcomes, and promptly won her very first league. Even with a geographically confusing set of allegiances (Cubs, Vikings, Timberwolves, and Oilers), Kelly has built a reputation for blending data analysis with a sharp eye for storytelling. Today, she works as a Content and Data Analyst at FantasyPros, where she turns stats into strategies and numbers into narratives that help fantasy managers win leagues and keep things fun along the way.
