FANTASY PODCAST: Key Matchups & Making Sense Of It All Pre-Playoffs

November 27th, 2017

Huge week for Julio Jones. Huge week for Alvin Kamara. Huge week for Antonio Brown. Meanwhile, those of you who own Amari Cooper, DeMarco Murray and even LeSean McCoy still don’t really know what to do week to week.

Well, that’s Fantasy Football.

And that’s why Todd is here to try and help you make sense of it all. The playoffs are coming and you want to be in them OR you need the right roster to win that dreaded last place game and avoid the penalty in your league that comes with it. Todd’s got a lot of random thoughts on what happened on Thursday and Sunday in Week 12 and even peeks at some key matchups for Week 13…like Chargers hosting Browns in another potential big spot for Keenan Allen and the San Diego D/ST. Remember, you can email Todd at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com anytime to ask about anything not covered in the podcast as it relates to your fantasy needs.

Was It Wrong?

November 27th, 2017

Atlanta safety expected a run.

A lot of Bucs fans have skinned knuckles from punching their refrigerators when, with yesterday’s game on the line and the Bucs with fourth-and-one from the Dixie Chicks-18, winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter called for Ryan Fitzpatrick to Cam Brate down the middle that fell incomplete. [read more]

BY IRA KAUFMAN

My only road trip of the season ended in heartache for the visitors and relief for the surging Falcons.

Tampa Bay made it interesting for awhile in the second half, but the Bucs failed to make the plays necessary to extend their winning streak to three games. One look at the face of dejected GM Jason Licht in the locker room and you knew there are no moral victories in the NFL. [read more]

Raheem’s 10-6 Is Safe

November 26th, 2017

It’s been seven darn years since the Bucs started 10 rookies through the 2010 season and managed 10 wins, which should have been 11 wins if officials didn’t botch an offensive pass interference call on Kellen “Vaseline” Winslow. [read more]

Cheerleader, Counselor Jameis

November 26th, 2017

Pregame and through the game, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, was hard at work.

You may dislike America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, and believe he’s bad news because of the lastest crotch-grabbing accusation against him.

But that hasn’t stopped injured Jameis from operating as a leader of the Bucs. [read more]
