Brees Sets The Record, Ingram Makes The Fantasy Noise

October 9th, 2018
Todd discusses how Mark Ingram’s return was the real story from the Saints’ bashing of the Redskins to wrap up Week Five in this edition of The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast. Now the Saints head for a bye week and Todd looks at what Ingram’s big night means for Alvin Kamara going forward. Michael Thomas also had his second straight down week, while DeAndre Hopkins, Adam Thielen and Robby Anderson did just the opposite.
.
Wait? Robby Anderson clearly does not belong in the same sentence as those other guys. However, he just may be the big waiver claim this week and Todd suggests it may fall into the “chasing points” category. Todd has almost as many takeaways from this past weekend as the Chiefs had against Blake Bortles, so check out the podcast and subscribe to know when there’s always a new one ready to go. As always, Todd supplements the podcast by answering all emails at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com.
