What We're Looking For

We're seeking sharp, passionate writers who don't just watch sports—they  play them. In fantasy leagues, that is.

You know the thrill of building a winning roster. You've debated waiver wire pickups, lost sleep over injury reports, and built spreadsheets to optimize your weekly matchups. Whether it's NFL, NBA, MLB, or niche fantasy formats, you know how to analyze, project, and advise.

This is a remote freelance role, perfect for writers who understand the fantasy sports audience and can deliver timely, insightful content that helps readers win their leagues.

We're Looking for Writers Who:

• Have deep knowledge of  Fantasy Football ,  Fantasy Baseball , or  Fantasy Basketball
• Can confidently write one or more of the following:

  Weekly Waiver Wire Columns ,  Start/Sit Advice ,  Draft Strategy Guides ,  Feature Analysis , or  Opinion Pieces

  (You don't have to do it all—just let us know what you do best!)

• Understand the fantasy player's mindset and know how to make data-driven advice easy to understand
• Are fluent in English with strong grammar and editorial skills
• Can provide 1–3 writing samples (especially if you've written about fantasy sports or sports analysis)

Pay Expectations

• U.S. writers : Paid freelance rates per article
• International writers : Hourly contract (part-time or full-time depending on region)
• All roles have the opportunity to grow into a larger or full-time position

Interview Process

1. Resume & Application Review
2. Short Writing Sample Test
3. Interview with the Managing Editor

To Apply

Please include:

• Your resume
• 1–3 relevant writing samples (ideally fantasy or sports writing)
• A brief cover letter outlining your fantasy sports experience—what leagues or formats do you know best, and what content could you own?
