Jeff Erickson is off this week for our fantasy sports podcast. Kevin Payne, also of Rotowire, pinch hits.

NFL training camps are underway. It’s time to start thinking about your fantasy draft. Payne tells us whether JuJu Smith-Schuster or Antonio Brown will have a bigger year.

His answer may surprise you.

It may also surprise you how he thinks both receivers will get to the numbers that he is predicting.

Plus, Payne has a few receivers you may not expect rated ahead of Brown. Find out who they are.

We also look at where Lamar Jackson does — and doesn’t — stack up against other running quarterbacks.

And Payne is a huge believer in the Browns. But are any of their offensive weapons overrated from a fantasy perspective?

Then we talk about the upcoming baseball trade deadline. Keone Kela, Jordan Lyles and Madison Bumgarner are all the subject of trade talks. We kick around how many of those guys will be traded.

Also, we investigate how active teams such as the Pirates, Yankees and Giants will be.

LISTEN: JuJu will outperform Antonio Brown
