Fantasy Sports podcast: Last advice before a huge draft weekend

Texans running back Lamar Miller gets outside the Steelers’ Sean Davis in the first quarter Dec. 25, 2017, at NRG Stadium in Houston.

It’s our most important fantasy sports podcast of the year with Jeff Erickson of Rotowire.

This is our final fantasy post before the NFL regular season starts. So, it’s the last time you can get draft advice from Jeff before your fantasy season begins.

There’s an important trickle-down effect for players on the Indianapolis Colts in the wake of Andrew Luck’s retirement. A lot of players who may have gone quickly from Indianapolis’ roster may drop late in your draft.

Also, what quarterbacks may jump up now that Luck is off the board?

We talk about some Steelers-specific items, such as whether James Washington is starting to make waves on the fantasy front. As a result, we investigate if Donte Moncrief is dropping.

It feels like people may be back on-board drafting Zeke Elliott high. But Melvin Gordon remains a mystery.

Those who have already completed their drafts may have been burned by Lamar Miller’s injury. We examine the volatility of the running back market in the wake of that news.

We saw the Tennessee Titans’ offensive line eaten up by the Steelers. I ask Jeff if that’s a bad sign for any Titans skill position players.

Then we dive into quarterback drafting strategy for two-QB leagues. Names such as Jacoby Brissett, Jimmy Garoppollo and Kyler Murray have become interesting debates.

Plus, we sprinkle in some baseball such as the strike machine that is Gerrit Cole, Corey Dickerson’s home run surge in Philadelphia, and Charlie Morton’s rough stretch in Houston.
