AFC North Preview | Fantasy Football Pod...

Fantasy Football, Jared Smola, Draft Sharks, Matt Schauf
About this episode

Who knew Matt had so much to say about Zay Flowers? Who knew there was attractive fantasy upside in ... Cleveland? We're previewing the entire AFC North in this episode, and there's lots to discuss beyond the obvious offensive prowess in Baltimore and Cincinnati. Do the Bengals actually sport a sneaky pass-catching option (or two)? Which backfields present late-round RB sleepers? And what QB take just leaves Jared saying "No"?
