Just nine days ago, the Bucs were actually “a thing.” They were 2-0 and had the ball in the final minutes with a chance to tie or win the game in regulation at home on national TV with most of the country rooting for them. Now they are again the Bucs that the nation does not care about, led by the 32nd most popular starting QB in the NFL. In this edition of The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast: Bucs Bulletin, Todd discusses Tampa Bay’s tumble from fantasy darlings to fantasy insignificance and how 2018 suddenly looks like 2017 all over again. As always, the podcast is presented by Brandon Legal Group.
