Monty Phan August 3, 2023

Monty Phan breaks down the key tactics and explains the most important picks in 2023 dynasty startups. Last year, a friend and I did a RotoViz TriFlex Superflex startup league together on FFPC. We won the league. So, of course, because past performance is indicative of future results, we confidently signed up for another (even higher-entry) startup again in July, to try to extend that…...
