Todd’s a little tired after hosting his 12th golf tournament in 25 months. Todd Wright Tour XII was played yesterday at The Eagles Golf Club and well over 100 players enjoyed the afternoon and took home prizes from the event. However, Todd has got your podcast looking back at everything from Thursday and Sunday in fantasy football with a brief thought on the Monday night plays.
Names like Ezekiel, Luck, Yeldon, Ginn, Hundley and somebody named Deonte Thompson (SOMEBODY has to catch the ball in Buffalo, right?) are all featured in this podcast. Remember, if Todd doesn’t cover everything you need, just ask him via email at toddwrightfantasyfootball@gmail.com. Or invite him to your Tampa Bay Area Hooters for a personal fantasy consultation. He just might say yes as Hooters is presenting sponsor of the podcast and is simply not a bad place to be this time of year.

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Bills
October 22nd, 2017
BY IRA KAUFMAN
I can’t put it any better than Dirk Koetter:

This one stings like a yellow jacket, so let us count the ways: [read more]
