August 24, 2022

Welcome to the 2022 Zero RB target list where we help you find inexpensive RBs to destroy your league. The list isn’t just for Zero RB owners. You can use the list to construct a Zero RB Dream Team, fill out your Extreme Anchor roster, or build Flex upside into an RB-heavy start.

The Zero RB list has been helping RotoViz writers and users to high finishes in Main Events and tournament championships in best ball. A quick look at past results, and you’ll understand why.

In 2014 Shawn explained the methodology he used from 2008 to 2013 to create outsized gains in high stakes formats. Since then the list has become part of the site’s backbone, printing money for subscribers.

Our 2015 Zero RB list included the No. 1 overall RB (Devonta Freeman).
Our 2016 list featured a breakout star and RB5 in PPG (Melvin Gordon).
Our 2017 list included RB3 Kareem Hunt and RB4 Alvin Kamara.
Our 2018 list featured five of the top-10 backs in win rate, including James White (18.7%), Tarik Cohen (16.8%), and Chris Carson (11.8%)
Our 2019 list featured the 313-point scoring Austin Ekeler and rookie breakout Miles Sanders.
Our 2020 list featured the overall RB5 in James Robinson and rookie sensation Antonio Gibson.
Our 2021 list featured James Conner (No. 4 overall in win rate), plus the two-highest scoring backs in the fantasy playoffs, Devin Singletary and Rashaad Penny.
