Before “Breakfast With Benz” goes into a self-imposed shut down for an early weekend, we wanted to give our fantasy football fans a chance to hear from Jeff Erickson of RotoWire.

He’s our fantasy sports expert. And he joins us to look at which recently drafted players may have the biggest impact on your league.

Obviously, running backs leap to mind. Jeff seems to think J.K. Dobbins has the potential to pay off big for the Baltimore Ravens. But maybe not so much in 2020. Cam Akers jumping onto the Los Angeles Rams as a replacement for Todd Gurley could be lucrative as well.

Then there is the ripple effect on keeper leagues for veteran running backs Marlon Mack (IND) and Damien Williams (KC) after their respective teams added Jonathan Taylor and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Speaking of the Colts, Erickson also loves Michael Pittman Jr. going to Indianapolis. He tells you why.

We get into the dynamics of what Chase Claypool brings to the Steelers in the red zone, too. Then we do a deep dive for the rest of the AFC North. It’s not just about the Claypool-Dobbins situation.

The Cincinnati Bengals did lots of good things on both sides of the ball besides drafting Joe Burrow. And the Cleveland Browns may not have done much appealing from a fantasy perspective, but they solidified a lot of cracks which could make all the elements of their club better.

We also talk some baseball as hope persists that Major League Baseball could return within the next few months. And Jeff tries to crack the fantasy codes for Korean baseball.

And that is even harder than you may think.
