Fantasy Season In Review

January 30th, 2018

Todd’s saving the final fantasy breakdown on Super Bowl LII for the Friday podcast later this week. So, in this edition, he talks about the season in review. The picks we got right, the picks we didn’t and the players who got injured that really hurt us in ways we could not recover. Todd also gives his reasoning for why he does not like PPR scoring, while understanding it has become very accepted in the fantasy community.

Oh, and Todd officially has passed the torch from Eddie Lacy to a new player when it comes to drafting at your own risk for 2018. Can you guess before you listen? Hint: He plays tight end. Actually, that’s the problem. He doesn’t play enough for you to draft him going forward.
