The first wave of invites have been sent out. If you would like to be considered for the second wave, Todd has all the details in this edition of The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast. Ira Kaufman will be there, 2017 fantasy league champion and Todd Wright Tour golfer Robert Wright will be there, Hooters Calendar Girls Brooke and Ty will be there, so what about you? In addition to all the details about the fantasy drafts at Hooters, Todd has updated fantasy perspective off some Thursday night exhibition action and it is all good for Saquon Barkley, pretty good for DJ Moore and not good at all for Derrius Guice.
PLEASE NOTE: Todd recorded this podcast after Guice’s initial injury diagnosis. News released after the recording of this podcast now indicates that Guice is done for the season.
