On the topic of unhappy, high-value running backs, this week’s Fantasy Sports podcast offers a forecast of how owners will view the squawking coming Melvin Gordon (left) and Ezekiel Elliott in the wake of Le’Veon Bell’s actions last year.

Fantasy football drafts are happening soon. Are you ready? Need some advice?

Jeff Erickson of RotoWire gets you prepared in our weekly fantasy sports podcast.

We look at where Steelers players Ben Roethlisberger, Vance McDonald and JuJu Smith-Schuster rank among star players at their respective positions.

Also, Jeff tells us where he places Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell as opposed to where he would have if they had remained in Pittsburgh.

We also dive into the topic of unhappy, high-value running backs. Jeff gives us a forecast of how fantasy owners will view the squawking coming from Melvin Gordon and Ezekiel Elliott in the wake of Bell’s actions last year.

Then there is Major League Baseball. After a lot of activity at the trade deadline, Jeff gives his opinions on which players will do the most damage in their new location.

And, since Jeff is a Cincinnati fan, we fight about the fight involving his Reds and the Pirates.
