First, Todd welcomes back The Eagles Golf Club as the golf sponsor of the Monday podcasts. The Eagles will host Todd Wright Tour XII on Sunday, October 22nd, and that golf event is already approaching a sellout. Todd has more information in the podcast on how you can buy your tee time before it goes on sale to the public.
The amount of fantasy information right now is kind of overwhelming, but Todd does his best to cover as much as possible. Injuries (Olsen, Jordy, Cobb, Bradford), disappointing star players and what our first fantasy look at the Bucs and Dolphins said about those offenses.
Remember, Todd has been telling all of you for weeks not to draft Jordan Howard as an RB1, that Ezekiel Elliott would not serve the six game suspension starting in week one and that Colts were either untouchable or unplayable until further notice.
For any questions unique to your teams, you can email Todd directly at toddwrightfantasyfootball@gmail.com. Every single person who wrote an email last week asking for help receive an email response. Just don’t expect Todd to respond during the daytime hours, as he’ll be on the golf course.

If we just saw the Bucs looking rusty, the rest of the NFL is in a lot of trouble.
I’ll be the first to admit Tampa Bay’s long layoff loomed as a major concern heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Bears. While Chicago played a competitive game last week, Buc players received six days off.
But instead of feeling their way early on, the Bucs were feeling it from the start, especially Mike Smith’s cantankerous crew. [read more]
