Zero RB Universe: Week 2 – Deep Stashes, Dynasty Trades, Start/Sits, and Much More

September 11, 2024

Shawn Siegele breaks down the Zero RB Universe with trade ideas, deep stashes, start/sit thoughts, and much more as we head toward Week 2 of the 2024 fantasy football season.

The Zero RB Universe is a labor of love, and covers the entire RB landscape, not just a single type of build. This isn’t a waiver wire piece. Kevin Szafraniec has you covered for that. We’re trying to understand the RB position in a deeper way so we can create the same types of rosters that we’re looking to build preseason.

The Zero RB Universe is about understanding the position well enough to make those start/sit decisions easier, to help you win dynasty trades, to stay two steps out in front of your league with look-ahead FA stashes. To accomplish these goals, we’ll rely on the Weekly Stat Explorer, the RotoViz Screener, the Advanced Stat Explorer, Advanced Team Stat Explorer, the Strength of Schedule Streamer, the Matchup Analysis tab from the NFL Player Explorer, and more. We’ll benefit from the deep insights of the Sports Info Solutions stats and charting info that power many of our tools.

In Week 1, the most exciting development came from the play of J.K. Dobbins, a player we ranked at RB33, almost two rounds ahead of his FFPC ADP at RB45. The most disappointing development came in the form of Chase Brown, as the Bengals were humiliated by New England.

Let’s jump into the details where we’ll cover RB Expected Points, individual and team opportunity, advanced rushing peripherals, advanced receiving peripherals, and look-ahead opportunities with stash options and schedule-based plays.

A Horse With An Arrow: The Free JSN Community Can Finally Breathe a Little Bit Easier

Shawn Siegele September 16, 2024

A man . . . sees a unicorn cross his path and disappear. That in itself is startling, but there are precedents for mystical encounters of various kinds, or a choice of persuasions to put it down to fancy; until–“My God,” says a second man, “I must be dreaming, I thought I saw a unicorn.” At which point, a dimension is added that makes the…...
