Shawn Siegele offers four hyperfragile draft plans for the risk-seeking, $500k-loving drafter. We spend a lot of time explaining why Zero RB works, debunking the narrative that WR is deep in a way that lets you avoid it early, and building a variety of draft plans to take advantage of the dominance. But we’re also here for our non-Zero RB subscribers. Recently, I used the…...

Shawn Siegele continues the Discount Series with a look at three WRs who can provide Robert Woods’ production without the WR13 price tag. Robert Woods’ price is crazy. Now Woods is a good player, and the Rams offense should be better. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a career year. But when relatively minor elements of a 29-year-old receiver’s profile are pushing his ADP…...

Shawn Siegele looks at why the best running back option in the RB Dead Zone might not be one of the dynamic rookies.
