Gary Davenport - IDPmanor.com
Although an avid and lifelong Ohio State Buckeyes (yes, even now) and Cleveland Browns fan Gary Davenport was a late comer to fantasy football, not playing in his first league until 2004.
Instantly hooked he now regularly plays in 10+ leagues (why he has no earthly idea) of all types a year, from PPR to IDP to Best Ball and Expert leagues.
A member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association and resident of Mesa, Arizona Gary has been featured on a number of fantasy websites and in nationally circulated magazines and functioned as Head Writer at Fantasy Football Oasis before joining Fantasy Sharks as an IDP Staff Writer in 2011. He is also the owner of IDPManor.com, a personal playground of sorts where he can blather on and on about Individual Defensive Players to his heart's content.
