Zero RB Draft Strategy - 2024 Fantasy Football

[@tracymerriman3996]

I went zero rb last year in a 10 man snake draft. Didnt draft a rb until rd7. I ended up losing in the championship game. WR room was stacked and I had kelce.

[@MichaelKing2-7]

The NFL and coaches have demonstrated to us that the true Rb is gone. They are showing us they are going Rb by committee. I am a Zero Rb through and through. I wasn’t always like that until two seasons ago. I used to be heavy RB. I got tired of not winning my championships with rb strategies.

This will be my first year doing zero tv and I feel the same, also if you can get a starting rb that doesn’t have much competition but is also not that exciting, like Rashad white last year they have big upside and are slept on

[@idpguruffs]

I really have never subscribed to the Zero running back theory. Looking at what you drafted, honestly you are getting the same quality of wide receivers or can draft the same quality of wide receivers and actually grabbed good running backs early as well. There are a plethora of wide receivers out there that are as good as what was drafted. I would definitely continue to go with the more balanced approach.

RB’s bust at insane rate and RB2 is the easiest position to find off of the waiver wire.

[@kingrex1931]

@@wurmhat1501 Any position can bust, and I have found it far easier to get WRs off of waivers than RBs. The WR position is just so deep. I won a championship once by trading away my top two WRs and just using a rotation of 5-6 WRs and playing matchups.

@@kingrex1931It’s much harder to get good WRs off the waiver wire. RB1’s go down more frequently than Wrs

[@kingrex1931]

@@TheRealJRealer And when a RB1 goes down, everyone is fighting for him. Some people even draft handcuffs, meaning that when that RB1 goes down, his backup is already owned. When your fantasy draft ends, there will be good WRs left on the waiver wire, but there won't be any good RBs.

[@TheRealJRealer]

@@kingrex1931 Not true. Kyren, Ford, Achane, Gus were all waiver wire guys that very very few people drafted outside of Achane but he got injured early so people dropped him due to Mostert’s explosive stretch of games.

Why go zero rb drafting 4th?

[@milktruck9345]

I did zero RB and zero wr first two rounds. I took laporta first round mahomes second. Third Travis E. Fourth waddle fifth D Smith then A Jones and C Kirk so not bad.

[@MichaelKing2-7]

Good stuff

[@Arkbuck]

Should have taken diggs. Stroud / diggs vs Kirk / t law. Not even close

[@SteveGorsuch]

That is not a true zero rb build. Took rb too early. You did modified.
