Won my league last year doing zero RB. It's a 3WR + flex PPR format. Took my first RB in round 7, and hammered them late. Didn't matter much who my RBs were though, seeing as I had Lamb, sun god, and DJ Moore.
Best fantasy football channel out here, W uploads lately, also corey please bring ryan back again, dude has such good insight yet it seems he doesn’t even make his own content
Great content in all 5 of my home leagues I went 0 rb last year and went to the championship in all 5 and won 4 took home over 2200 definitely eyeing the same strategy
I had Jefferson, waddle, and Higgins last year with the 1st pick in a 14 team league, I won 3 games first time in 15 years I did that and that was the first time I didn't make the playoffs in my fantasy football career. Needless to say I'm going rb, rb with my first 2 picks like I did the 14 years before 😂 zero rb is wild
a 1 Year sample where all 3 of your first 3 picks missed significant time with injury is just a brutal run out tbh, you were fucked regardless, zero RB isn't to blame for that
Finally had a draft where I could use this. 1qb, 1 te, 2wr, 1 rb 2 flex. Ended up with. Mahomes, Andrews, AJ Brown, Puka, Pittman, Dell, Watson, and Doubs, Then Stevenson, Z. White, Moss, and C. Brown and Balt Defense along with the first waiver wire pick because I was picking last. Sounds short on rb but we only start 1. We shall see.
Your league must not be good. All you are doing is praying that you can get a RB off the waiver wire, or your boy Chad Brown works out this year for you. But hopefully these guys keep up these videos. Makes me top 3 every single year
I’ve never been a big believer in zero RBZ tbh, will do some research tho to see if this fits into my profile. Thanks for heads up, even tho this has been around for years
I tried it for the first time last year bro and for now on its the only way I'm drafting. I finished 10-4. For me, the RBs either have a split workload or get hurt.
Another great video boys🙏 Even tho in theory and by the data this is the most effective strategy, I question how applicable it is to home league formats. For best ball where you probably have over 100 entries this makes total sense, where let’s say 30 of those teams hit on the Zero RB targets. But for a guy in like 5 home leagues, the odds of hitting on guys like Kyren and Mostert of 2023 dwindle dramatically. With all that said I’m a Zero-RB bro😂
Im in a dynasty league where people have used a zero RB strategy. (People wonder how I have the RB's that I do.) I've won the chip 3 of the last 4 years.
Some great content here fellas. My draft strategy will depend on my keeper likely... In a 12T ppr redraft keeper start 7 (QB/2RB/2WR/TE/FLX) having the 8th pick draft position... Would y'all rather keep Achane or Trey McBride as a 9th round keeper? Further context: ARSB will be kept by another, and CMC/Bijan/Breece likely gone by 8th
Once you get past CMC, Breece, Bijan, is it even worth drafting a RB until out of the dead zone? You’re likely overpaying for anything after that point outside of Achene or Kyren.
@@FantasyStockExchangewhat receivers would you have over these guys- Evan’s, Collins, deebo? I’m in a 14 team and feel that I could snag Pacheco at the end of 2nd as I don’t think he falls to the beginning of the 3rd
The ADP on underdog tell me to do Robust RB . Go RB first 3 rounds and fill everything else out . Draft 2 more RBs after the 10th and balance it out . Feels good having Barkley , Henry and Bijan in most drafts
Best way would be to get our draft guide using code FSE on Underdog or checkout the site FlockFantasy.com/FSE, or if ur in the market for cybersecurity, checking out Aura - all of those linked in the description!
Love the content boys. In a strategy like zero or hero rb, would you recommend drafting multiple rbs from the same ambiguous backfield in hopes that one pans out (Warren/najee, moss/brown, edwards/dobbins/vidal, Javonte/Estime, etc.)?
You can if it's like an all or nothing scenario (I.e one will absolutely hit, one will miss and u cut the one that misses) It's tough tho with like say Warren and Najee who could both easily split 50/50. I think the Cowboys, Chargers and Broncos are definitely all or nothing backfields imo, but who knows
But I’ve done zero RB part 3 years with much success made the finals on draftkings in the big tournament and 10 points from making the BBM FINALS . But this year Saquon and Derrick Henry are in such good spots … I smell TDS in the 15 range for both guys …
Another great one boys. I’m trying to convince my league mates to add some wr and flex spots in our league. Where would I find good statistics on last years ppg for players and positions and how many fantasy relevant players are on each team? Just basic statistics. Thanks boys
Our draft guide has last years PPG in it, fantasy relevant players is a good idea, maybe I can add that to the guide - like team by team ADP or something
I went 14-0 and won my 12 man league with zero rb. 5th slot i took tyreek hill/ aj brown/josh allen/ tj hockenson first four picks and i picked up kyren williams from waiver week 1 lol
Thats great but my league mates are not idiots and they will be targeting the same free agents rbs on monday morning. Then its all up to waiver wire order
The Zero RB definitely works better in a FAAB waiver system forsure, again up to you to determine when/if it would be effective in your own individual leagues
A lot of late rbs I have questions on and I guess I hope you can answer my worries about, are Gus Edward’s who has a new coach and while I think that all the worries about the team as a whole are not necessarily blown out of proportion, but Harbaugh is a clear cut help for gus Edward’s. What do you feel about him? Bucky Irving, do you think he really has an opportunity to take over the starting role on that bucs roster, and between pollard and spears realistically who has the potential to be better. Thank you 🙏 for the videos man
I prefer Dobbins at cost, not overly excited about Edwards in general & Bucky I think will be brought along slowly so I like him late in bestball but don’t think they’ll implement him as the starter at any point as a bucs fan
It's very difficult to pull off, because WR breakouts that happen late are fewer and further between than RBs, unless you're confident to find the next Puka/Tank Dell, etc. it would be really challenging to pull off
Is there a situation in which you would abandon the zero rb strategy? Say if you got a less than ideal pick in the draft order, would that change anything for you?
@@timwilliams9075 javonte, miles sanders, James Connor, charbonnet. Probably partly my fault, because I had a lot going on and did very little research before the draft 😅 I also drafted Garret Wilson in round 2 and burrow was my keeper so that didn’t help. I traded for cook, picked up puka, McBride, and love which almost got me to the playoffs. I finished 7-7, but I just had such a rough start to the season that I couldn’t come back from it
In need of a RB2!! Who would you trade RB for if offered Pittman? (12 team. 2QB 3WR, 2RB, 2FLEX - FULL PPR) I have Jamar Chase, St. Brown, Pittman, Hopkins, Cooks. RBs are Achane, Chubb (pup), and Pierce (for now). pls help
I still think it CAN be effective, it's just the purpose of zero RB is to win everywhere else and with less WR spots, no Superflex or TEP it makes RBs inherently more valuable - of course you could still hit on Kyren and guys like that but unless there is a Kyren to hit on it likely wouldn't be effective and Hero and Double Hero strategies likely are more effective
I’m in a 10 team full PPR, 3WR, 2RB, 1Flex. I have 2nd pick. Trying to decide if I should draft 3WR first (Tyreek, Deebo, Kupp), TE (Andrews or McBride), QB. Or go for Josh Allen or Travis Kelce in the second round, also getting hill and Deebo first 3 rounds. Let me know if you have any advice.
That’s precisely why we want to avoid RBs there… If ur arguing to get your RBs early I’m not gonna debate you, hence why we said Zero RB probably isn’t optimal this year and as well explain in the hero and double hero videos
Another awesome video. I'm a big zero RB fan but I really like how you emphasize not locking a strategy going into the draft. Stupid question. I joined Flockfantasy to get your content - but it seems super hard to find. I had to search for a while to find databases to even get to your draft guide. I must be missing something. Is there a URL to takes me to your specific content - articales, guides, etc. For both draft and weekly rankings?
So the Draft Guide is called the Redraft Rankings Manifesto 3.0, I'm going to post an updated version this week, but as of now you can also search my name "Corey Buschlen" or Danny's name "Daniel McKinnon" on the site and everything I've posted will come up
Last year I went zero rb and ended up reek/olave/evans/collins/laporta/richsrdson/purdy…and I wiffed sooooo hard on rb that I lost my Legaue lol. Went sanders/mattison and got outbid on achane and Kyren. Completely my own fault though. The build was perfect. I just made bad decisions. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@FantasyStockExchange thank you corey/danny not sure which one this is responding. I plan on going 3 wr in first 3 rds, have 6th overall out of 10 teams. But will deviate if need be
@jaredricci9278 it’s bush & yeh definitely a viable strategy, but remember if value is there you don’t need to go Zero RB, simply viable if the best available players are not RBs

The only year I've owned CMC in redraft was his rookie year. Zero RB 4 Life.
2019 & last year probably weren't brags tho lol
Some of my favorite zero/hero late round rb targets are chase brown, benson, charbonnet, zeke, and ford
Love all of those guys this year as well, specifically Brown, Benson and Zeke

Definitely not for every format and tbh I actually believe hero RB is the proper strategy this year
Would love one of these for hero RB
Oh it's comin brother!
My first WR’s last year were round 4 and rd 6. Took Cooper then Evans.
Good picks!

With the sophomore and rookie wrs class this year, I have no problem going RB, RB ! Out of the gate!
I don’t think a double hero is a bad start at all as long as you’re betting on stud profiles like say Breece & Gibbs/Saquon/Achane someone like that
But I’ve done zero RB part 3 years with much success made the finals on draftkings in the big tournament and 10 points from making the BBM FINALS . But this year Saquon and Derrick Henry are in such good spots … I smell TDS in the 15 range for both guys …

Has anyone tried the opposite strategy? Zero wide receivers for the first 7 rounds? Just take running backs, quarterback and tight ends first.
It's very difficult to pull off, because WR breakouts that happen late are fewer and further between than RBs, unless you're confident to find the next Puka/Tank Dell, etc. it would be really challenging to pull off
Is there a situation in which you would abandon the zero rb strategy? Say if you got a less than ideal pick in the draft order, would that change anything for you?
Pretty simple really, if a RB falls at good value, you abandon the strategy
"he didn't have a great TE even" just the #1 TE.................
I didn't see LaPorta at first lol
I tried this strategy last year and didn’t have an RB1 for the entire season. It caused me to go 0-6

Yeh sanders and mattison is precisely the types of deadzone RBs you want to avoid & ya gotta go hambone on those early season waiver adds also
If you’re thinking a league won’t have any trade action would that be something that veers you away from going zero rb?
I’m in a league that’s 1qb 2rb 2wr 1flex with a week 4 trade deadline. Should I completely toss out the zero rb strategy?
Potentially but you can still backfill via waivers
Tough strategy when playing in a 16 team league.
Zero rb work in best ball?
