Shawn Siegele explores five key components he uses to build out the Zero RB draft board, and then breaks down 61 players using those criteria.

As we move toward the 2024 Zero RB Candidates Countdown, I’ve been working on a series of articles that help place RB outcomes in the context of upside scenarios and downside risks.

These exercises help us find specific 2024 targets who may be significantly undervalued, but they also help us think through the types of opportunities and landmines that may exist in any specific year.

In the Zero RB Prep Kit, we’re going to take it a step further and work through the logic and history behind using five specific components to build out our 2024 RB draft boards. In the second half of the exercise we’ll then break down 61 RBs using these concepts to get a better feel for the contingency-based upside each one provides in the upcoming season.
