Blair Andrews assesses the permanence of the Falcons’ transition to rational coaching, questions whether Antonio Gibson will ever be a true three-down workhorse, and suggests that Khalil Herbert may have earned himself an even bigger role than we expected. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just…...

Blair Andrews marvels at some record-breaking performances, including by the new dynasty WR1 — or maybe the No. 1 player overall.  With many of the stars on bye in Week 7, it was up to some up-and-comers to carry the torches for our fantasy squads. A few of them delivered in a big way, while a few left us wishing we had earlier rookie picks…...

Blair Andrews offers his thoughts on the preferred waiver-wire addition from Cleveland, questions the Texans’ game plan and general team-building philosophy, and prognosticates about the future workload split in Denver despite an apparent lack of new information. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just for Zero…...

Blair Andrews gives Kirk Cousins his due, while praising one star, one rookie breakout WR, and one Zero RB sensation. In many ways, Week 6 was crazier than any we’ve seen so far this season. Seven different quarterbacks attempted over 45 passes, with two topping 50. Two other quarterbacks threw four touchdown passes each (both on 30 attempts or less). One quarterback completed only 11…...

Blair Andrews suggests some trade offers, looks forward to Christian McCaffrey’s return, and asks whether D’Andre Swift might already be a top-five NFL RB. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just for Zero RB owners. We’re just as focused on the high-profile backs. Understanding workloads is…...

Blair Andrews examines a crazy week, including the Myles Gaskin performance that will hopefully silence doubters for good. Week 5 saw four different teams score over 40 points (and one of those teams still lost), and culminated in a come-from-way-behind, overtime win for the Ravens on Monday night with Lamar Jackson passing for 442 yards and four touchdowns. Despite that, it was a disappointing week…...

Blair Andrews questions the perceived values of the Cleveland Browns running backs, offers some hope for Michael Carter drafters, and wonders what the New England Patriots are up to. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just for Zero RB owners. We’re just as focused on the…...

The fireworks in Week 4 almost made up for the devastating injuries in Week 3. The Chiefs remembered Tyreek Hill was on their team, D.J. Moore made not one but two trips to the end zone, and Saquon Barkley looked like the player we were excited to draft second overall in 2020. Several other developments that might be just as important perhaps went unnoticed, however…....

Blair Andrews asks whether the Carolina Panthers’ offense will skip a beat without Christian McCaffrey, examines Trey Sermon’s bid to be Kyle Shanahan’s lead back, and explores the Detroit Lions’ deployment of their running back duo. Our goal with the Zero RB Watch List is to help you locate RB breakouts and waiver adds before they happen, but this column isn’t just for Zero RB…...
