The preseason rolls on, and so do ankles, Achilles tendons and ACL's. This week has been set aside to discuss the running back position. The guys who carry the load, perhaps the most important position to deal with early in the draft (whether you take one or not). Listen to this week's podcast below, but while you do, check out our Running Back rankings, as well as the rest of the positions.

We also clue you in about who to avoid, overvalued guys like Rashad Jennings, Bishop Sankey, Isaiah Crowell and Carlos Hyde. Finally, we break down one of the most impressive rookie RB classes in recent years.

The NFC East division includes the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins.

We're back to the fantasy football podcast again this week. This time, we take a spin around the NFC North. We start our trip in Green Bay, discussing all the fantasy awesomeness to be had there. Then we look at the Lions and try and figure out if they're better this year or not.
Listen to the Fantasy Football Podcast: 6/9/15, NFC North Spotlight
We looked at all of the key additions and departures to all the teams. The Vikings get Adrian Peterson back, which isn't technically an addition, but it will certainly make a difference! Finally, we finish off in our hometown and talk about the Bears. The new regime has tried to put their stamp on this team, but they're still handcuffed with the same old QB. Can they succeed?
Update: Dave and I did manage to decide on a bet. He'll be taking Eddie Lacy and I'll take Adrian Peterson for season long points. We're wagering pizza!

Feel that tingling sensation? It's just below your neck, next to your shoulder, you can barely reach it. It's the fantasy football itch! We've been without NFL games for over 3 months, and it's been almost 5 months since there's been any regular fantasy football leagues. It's time to talk fantasy football! This week we're joined by our resident Rookie Expert, Shawn Foss (@Shawn_Foss) and we discussed the brand new 2015 draft class.
Fantasy Football Podcast - May 13 - 2015 NFL Draft Class
Going by position, of course we started at the QB's, just like the NFL teams did. We broke down the possible fantasy impact from two top tier RB's drafted in the first half of the first round, much higher than any RB's have been taken in recent years. Finally, we dug through the incoming WR class. Mostly, we want to know if we'll be as impressed with the rookie WR's as we were last year!
