Fantasy Football Ceilings Are Higher Than Ever

November 10th, 2018
In this edition of The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast, Todd uses Thursday’s night’s Steelers blowout of the Panthers as yet another illustration of a new trend. Either you have players capable of enormous games or you are simply not in any conversation for a fantasy championship. Simply piecing together a lineup of guys who you hope will get you 8-10 points just does not work in 2018. Just ask the fantasy owner playing the guy who started Big Ben and McCaffrey and is already down a minimum of 63 points before the Sunday games even start. Todd answers your emails at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com. The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast is presented by Original Hooters, as well as The Eagles Golf Club.
