After a week off, I check in with Jeff Erickson of Rotowire for our usual fantasy sports podcast.

We start off by looking at what had been some of the early warning signs for Josh Bell’s huge start to the year. Melky Cabrera’s performance over the first month and a half of the season has been nice for fantasy owners, as well as Pirates fans in general.

Then we get into Chris Archer’s disappointing return and Arizona’s dominance of the Pirates all year long.

Jeff McNeil is a wonderful fantasy success story for the New York Mets. Also, owners of any and all Astros had a thrilling week.

It’s a great time for those in golf leagues, too, thanks to the PGA Championship getting moved up earlier in the year.

On the football front, what will be the ripple effect of the New York Jets front-office shakeup for Le’Veon Bell?

And those who are in NBA leagues have to start wondering how Zion Williamson likely going to New Orleans will alter the roundball world.
