Hey, fantasy fans. There’s a new craze sweeping the land and no, it’s not Pokémon Go, it’s Zero RB strategy.
Okay, it’s not really all that new, in fact it’s been around since Nov. 2013 when RotoViz’s Shawn Siegele introduced the concept.
The name is somewhat misleading. Fantasy owners, obviously, are going to draft running backs. But in Zero RB strategy, owners focus on wide receivers, quarterbacks and tight ends in the first few rounds and then wait on a running back.
Siegele argues that the running back position is the most fragile position in fantasy football due to injuries.
