Big Names Fail To Dominate In Fantasy Playoffs

In this playoff edition of The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast, presented by Original Hooters, Todd discusses how many established names who put up those huge numbers throughout the season simply did not get it done in Week 15. This further proves Todd’s longtime theory that you do not simply “Play Your Studs” this time of year. If you have a good reason to bench a big name player for someone else on your roster, then do it. It will not always work out, but it also is not a recipe for disaster. Just ask any owner who won because he sat Adam Thielen or Drew Brees this week, or the owner who was victimized by an opponent outworking him on the waiver wire for Damien Williams or Mike Williams. Todd answers your fantasy football questions to enhance the podcast, not replace it, at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com.
