In the third season of the Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast, there is now a spinoff. Sure, spinoffs traditionally can go bad as we’ve seen in network television via disasters like Joey, The Ropers and Saved by the Bell: The College Years. Striving to be more like successful spinoffs such as The Jeffersons, Frasier and The Suite Life On Deck, we offer you the new 20-episode edition of The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast: Bucs Bulletin.

This podcast is still hosted by Todd, still talks about fantasy football, but shines a specific spotlight on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers every week. Once the regular season begins, you’ll get the full fantasy breakdown of that week’s Tampa Bay game in terms of who to start, sit, claim on waivers for the Bucs and their opponent. In this first of four episodes leading up to the opener at New Orleans, Todd looks at the fantasy value of the QB position for 2018 and how to play or pass on Winston and FitzMagic in season-long and DFS.
