Welcome to the 2020 Zero RB target list where we help you find inexpensive RBs to destroy your league. The list isn’t just for Zero RB owners. You can use the list to construct a Zero RB squad, to fill out your Single-Elite-RB roster, or to build Flex upside into a RB-heavy start. Zero RB wins in high stakes and expert drafts. Shawn has used…...

There aren’t a lot of guys like Josh Jacobs. We don’t have any close comps for him in the Box Score Scout, in part because backs who gain 640 yards, catch 20 passes, and skip combine testing are simply not selected in the first round. That first-round pick wasn’t necessarily wrong. Jacobs went on to an impressive rookie season where he averaged 4.8 yards per…...

Last season, Miles Sanders’ ADP fell throughout July, and he temporarily dropped behind Jordan Howard before launching again in the final run-up to the season. In 2018, Nick Chubb’s ADP fell consistently throughout draft season as it became clear that Carlos Hyde was going to begin the season as the starter. Chubb wasn’t even the second Cleveland running back selected, as drafters assumed the Browns would continue to…...

We’ve all had that experience where we’re on a guy but he falls in a range with a couple of our other targets. You’re always thinking he’ll come back around to you, but somehow he never does. Someone always grabs him just a slot or two before your pick. And then, of course, that’s the player who ends up with a win rate around 17%…....

The Clyde Edwards-Helaire rocket ship has gone screaming into the first round. He’s primed to have a league-winning impact as a rookie, even at those lofty prices, but should you also be drafting his doppelgangers at the end of your fantasy football drafts? Once Damien Williams opted out of the 2020 season, the last impediment disappeared to a monster rookie campaign from Edwards-Helaire. Drafters responded…....

Shawn Siegele explains why he departed from his patented WR-heavy tactics in a high-stakes expert draft. What did it take for him to break his cardinal rules? Running back tactics are always a flash point in fantasy football discussions. This week, Colm Kelly and I had Scott Barrett on RotoViz Overtime to explain why he’s going Bell Cow or Bust in 2020. That provides a…...

The Draft Dashboard is a powerful tool to prepare for drafts and dominate the real thing. Can we put together an entire team of players from explosive offenses without having to reach? Last year’s look at drafting a team entirely from explosive offenses was a reader favorite, so we’re bringing it back for 2020. It’s a fun thought experiment in draft strategy, and it lets…...

Friday was a sad day for Derrius Guice owners, and a sadder day for Guice, but Antonio Gibson acolytes continue to reap the benefits of being all-in on a back rocketing toward the Clyde Edwards-Helaire/Jonathan Taylor tier. Our devy guru, Travis May, was on Gibson even before the combine, ranking him as must-buy for early startups. Jack Miller recently covered Gibson as one of two…...

Marvin Jones has had an interesting career. He’s 30-years-old with only a single 1,000-yard season, and yet his WR37 ADP looks like a value. Jones is not a target volume guy. He’s never had a 110-target season, and over the last two years he hasn’t managed 100 combined receptions. And yet, he’s been a top-30 WR in PPR/G in each of the last three years,…...

After a slow stretch from 2013 to 2017 where Davante Adams was the only third-year wide receiver to crest 200 points for the first time, the last two seasons brought Tyler Boyd, Chris Godwin, and Cooper Kupp into the ranks of the elite. And Godwin and Kupp didn’t just break out. They scored 270 points a piece, capitalizing on the promise of earlier seasons and…...

Will Fuller was one of my most-started players when he scored 53 points in Week 5 last year. He was one of my most-started players when he “dropped” three TDs passes in Week 6. He was one of my most-started players when he went out with yet another soft tissue injury at the beginning of Week 7. When you own Fuller, it’s always a roller…...
