About
J. Grant
Co-founder · DFS and best-ball player
J. Grant is a co-founder of SportsHack and writes its daily fantasy and best-ball analysis. He plays the contests he writes about, which is the reason the commentary on this site is willing to disagree with its own projections in public.
He has more than $1.9 million in career DFS winnings. The largest single result is below, uncropped — the contest, the prize structure and the game are all on the card, so it can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Showdown slates turn on a handful of scoring events, and one of those wins came down to Harrison Butker, who went a career-best six for six on field goals as the Chiefs beat Cincinnati on the final Sunday of the 2023 season.
He built SportsHack with Shawn Childs, whose projections and rankings the site runs on. His own writing appears on the analysis page.
One result is not a track record. A single contest is variance as much as anything else, and the card above is a credential, not evidence that this site's projections make money. What the model actually does — every call, graded, with the misses left in — is on the live record, and the retrospective projection study is on the backtest page. Those pages carry their own sample sizes and method. Judge the site on them, not on this.
