Todd is in “Competition Committee” mode in this edition of the Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast. Well, it is that time of year when commissioners are setting up scoring for their leagues and some things may be worth adjusting or eliminating entirely.
.
Last year, Todd took dead aim at the impact kickers should have and modified their totals against the standard scoring model.

Todd’s also looking for more feedback from those of you who play or have played in two quarterback leagues, so email him what you think of those leagues at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com.
