The league decided that Patriots QB Tom Brady should sit out 4 games for his role in "Deflategate." Whether you agree with that or not, it will undeniably impact your fantasy football draft.

Is Brady the QB version of Le'Veon Bell, though, where you target him anyway for the big numbers to come after he returns? Or does the depth at QB mean you should simply look elsewhere? And what about all the other New England skill players? We're addressing all those questions on today's podcast.

Plus, the NFL denied Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon's bid for reinstatement. What does that mean for Blackmon's dynasty future and the Jacksonville passing game in 2015?

The Dallas backfield looks wide open after the Cowboys passed on all running backs in the draft. We're trying to figure out where the value will lie.

And finally, can Robert Griffin III make a "big jump" in 2015? (*Groan.*)
