Ultimate Playmakers Draft Team


Dewayne Jones Proprietor/UPM Fantasy Football Guru

Dewayne Jones started playing fantasy football in 2000. Dewayne earned his Bachelor’s degree from Eastern Illinois University. With a strong IT background, his competitive nature, along with drive to win, and his love for football, he decided to put some analysis into Fantasy Football, which spawned what he coins the Playmaker Rater and UPM Draft Guide. Dewayne tried fantasy magazines, web services and none got him close to winning fantasy titles until he birthed the UPM Guide.
