Nelson Agholor Proves Why PPR Should No Longer Exist; That And More On The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast

September 7th, 2018

Todd has “The Smoking Gun” in his continuing fight against the PPR concept in this edition of the Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast. The season opener between the Eagles and Falcons produced a bad game with a fun finish and a stat line from one Eagles wide receiver that both shows how awful the Eagles passing game was, yet stupidly and inaccurately rewards fantasy owners in full point PPR leagues.

Last night also showed nothing has seemingly changed as far as Julio Jones getting in the end zone, further frustrating owners who invested a #1 pick in him despite an otherwise dominant night.

Todd also has more on the Le’Veon Bell Bombshell and how Bell’s backup and/or handcuff is probably the only guy you drafted in the late rounds or picked up on waivers who deserves consideration as a starter this week.

Remember, Todd answers all your fantasy football questions at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com. However, please do not ask Todd to pick your starting lineup. That’s like asking Todd to pick between Kyana and Rane at Hooters on 4th Street in St. Pete, where we had our second successful — and first-ever daily fantasy — Hooters event of the season last night. Congrats to two owners from Todd’s “Foundation” fantasy league for finishing first and third, while CJ from the podcast leagues came in second. All received prizes for their efforts from Hooters and Todd Wright Tour golf and everyone in attendance, including Mike Cairns from Spectrum Sports 360 on Bay News 9, received plenty of quality attention from Hooters manager Tony M., who also plays in Todd’s GOLFF podcast league.

Humphries Explains A Fitzpatrick Difference

September 7th, 2018

Interesting take on Fitz

One thing driving Joe nuts is the narrative that Ryan Fitzpatrick is the backup quarterback filling on Sunday.

No, through the 2018 training camp and preseason, months of prep for opening day, Fitzpatrick has been the clear starting QB. He’s been the guy from Day 1. [read more]
