RotoGrinders is a web-based daily fantasy sports community and daily content website co-founded by Cal Spears and two others in 2010[1] to help players interact with other fantasy sports sites such as FanDuel and DraftKings. To date the RotoGrinders community has grown to more than 50,000 members.

In October 2014, NBC Sports announced the creation of a partnership with RotoGrinders for daily fantasy content. The agreement marked a major step in the growth of daily fantasy sports within the broader fantasy industry.[2]

Since 2012, RotoGrinders has hosted the “Tournament Player of the Year” race, which is designed to recognize the best large-field, daily fantasy tournament player each year. The Tournament Player of the Year rankings are calculated by aggregating results from contests across all major daily fantasy gaming sites. Participants are awarded points using a formula based on their top-50 finishes in tournaments with prize pools greater than $10,000. In 2014, the RotoGrinders Tournament Player of the Year was Jonathan “McJester” Zellers.[3]
