Zero RB Dynasty Watch: Which Saturday Stars are Rushing toward Sunday?
David Phillippi
December 7, 2023
The clock is running out on the fantasy regular season, but as an Eagles fan I’m still in the midst of a stretch of games that has been bringing an unreasonable level of excitement to the reality football regular season. After a 5-0 stretch during which we took out four of the league’s most dominant teams, we were due for a let down, but the…...
Zero RB Dynasty Watch: Create Optionality Ahead of the Trade Deadline
David Phillippi
November 20, 2023
Week 11 is almost in the books, with the only game of reality football I truly care about left to play tonight — Go Eagles! (Sorry Shawn.) If you aren’t already joining in the Fantasy Football Report live at 9 p.m. ET on YouTube during Sunday Night Football, and you perhaps agree that three hours is a long time to listen to Cris Collinsworth, do…...
Zero RB Dynasty Watch: 5 Quick Backfield Check-Ins Ahead of Week 10
David Phillippi
November 12, 2023
Unless Keaton Mitchell was somehow still available in one of your dynasty leagues, this week had probably the least eventful running back waiver run of the season. (Hopefully you are the reason he wasn’t available in your league and maybe you have RotoViz to thank for that!) So whether you’re feeling needy or just greedy, making progress at this point of the season requires more…...

With our guide to the Zero RB universe back from his travels and most of the way back to health, hungry readers got their plates loaded up with the longest edition of Shawn’s signature article in a decade. If you somehow missed it, at the very least, you’ve gotta get the audio overview on Overtime. I…...
Zero RB Universe: Rookies have Headaches and Breakouts while the Class of 2017 Still Rules
David Phillippi
October 25, 2023
I’ve loved getting to write the Zero RB dynasty articles for RotoViz readers over the last two months — I hope you’ve gleaned something useful or at least been entertained. I often deliver that article late in the week, after I’ve gotten to soak up much of the site’s content for the week, grind my Wednesday waivers, work trades, and then let my mind wander…...
Zero RB Dynasty Watch: This is the End of the First Half
David Phillippi
October 21, 2023
I sat stunned on my couch Sunday evening as the New York Jets kneeled out an improbable victory over my Eagles, noting sensations in my body that hadn’t been there since we lost the Super Bowl. I watch the Sixers during the playoffs, and the Phillies (my first sports love) have me on a bit of a roller coaster this week, but there’s something distinct…...
Zero RB Dynasty Watch: Recalibrate Your Roster with Rest-of-Season Tiered Rankings
David Phillippi
October 14, 2023
Another week of football, another round of injuries and performances to factor into our dynasty values. Heading into week 6, readers can turn to Shawn’s updated rest-of-season tiered RB rankings for help with lineup and trade decisions in redraft, but it’s also a useful roadmap for maneuvering through dynasty leagues. I’ll run through the tiers providing notes on what I’m seeing in my leagues and…...

David Phillippi
October 6, 2023
David Phillippi looks at the Zero RB Countdown through a dynasty lens and provides a glimpse into how you can use this redraft resource to evaluate your dynasty squads.

Zero RB Dynasty Watch: How to Incorporate Epic Performances Into Your Trade Process
David Phillippi
September 29, 2023
David Phillippi examines the dynasty fantasy football trade market in the aftermath of historic RB performances. As with the rest of reality, the mistakes we make in fantasy often teach us the most important lessons. In a given season on a particular redraft team, we might learn a lesson by Week 5 or 6 and simply move on emotionally, still setting the lineup and diligently…...
Zero RB Dynasty Watch: Countdown Heroes and Fallen Stars Cause Swift Value Changes
David Phillippi
September 24, 2023
Can you believe we’re already in Week 3? After the second batch of games was in the books, and like me you opened the Monday review tool, clicked on the RB tab and moved the slider to week 2, you saw a top five almost worthy of screenshotting, printing, framing, and hanging up as tribute to the RotoViz process. Three names from the countdown including…...

David Phillippi
September 13, 2023

Redraft Breakouts and Dynasty Trades: Reshaping Your Dynasty Portfolio With the Zero RB Countdown
David Phillippi
September 5, 2023
David Phillippi looks at the Zero RB Countdown through a dynasty lens and provides a glimpse into how you can use this redraft resource to evaluate your dynasty squads. I began building my modest but much-loved dynasty “portfolio” with two start-ups in 2015, and was nearing the double-digit league mark in 2018 when I launched a home SF/TE premium best ball league that I still…...
