Zero RB strategy worked this year.

Agree. Had pick 6 of 10. Took Tyreke, Garrett Wilson, Lamar then Etienne. Won the sip but what could have been had Aaron Rogers stayed healthy.

Zero a lot of things worked this year

A ton of new names popped up as top 15 options on the year

So many injuries and a lot of weird production from teams you didn’t expect while some blue chips massively underperformed.

ETA: I went ZRB this year. Didn’t even start Chase. Olave, though productive most weeks lately, didn’t do shite Wk17. Interesting year altogether.

Same.

This is the way to go. Grab as many top WRs as you can IMO.

Just need to hit on a few of these guys.

I won my league by drafting mostert, Mixon, Brian Robinson and Conner. None were high picks or sexy names, but they're all #1 guys for their team and stayed relatively healthy.

Hit gold in my dynasty with Rice at pick 11 and Puka as an udfa, Warren was a solid RB2

In my redraft league I somehow won it drafting Kupp fourth overall, oops. R White ASB and Aiyuk carried my team

Made it to championship game in 2 leagues I had

Cmc
Kyren
In one league wr1 was Keenan

Barkley
Ekeler
In another league wr’s were lamb, puka, Kirk, and nico. Also picked up McBride

Zero RB strategy worked this year.

Has been around a lot longer than one year. I've had way, way more success doing Zero RB or Hero RB than any other strategy out there. It's just a statistical fact, proven from heavy analytical guys like JJ Zachariason, Chris Harris, the ETR guys, that it' just typically easier to find top tier RB production with later picks or through waiver moves than it is to find top tier WR production using the same method.

Sure, you can have some outliers like Puka, Mike Evans, Michael Pittman, Courtland Sutton, but that's only 4-5 guys. The RB guys you found in later rounds or waivers probably doubled that number. I won both of my leagues this year and I didn't take a RB before the 5th round and 6th round respectively.

Essentially yes. It probably didn’t work out that well for people this year but it will probably be viable next year. It’s hard to imagine CMC, Hall (with Rodgers back), Kyren busting.


Those are the only RBs im touching in the first round next year unless Bijan has a new coach.

Hero RB will likely be the better strategy next year. I went zero RB this year but next year, personally, it will be really hard to pass on CMC, Kyren or Breece if I can’t grab Tyreek, JJ, ASB or Lamb. You can throw Chase in there too if Higgins leaves. I don’t really want to touch Gibbs or Bijan. Gibbs because of Monty and Bijan because of Arthur Smith.

JT is great but he’s still a bit unknown with Richardson and he’s certainly going to get some rushing TDs. Saquon scares the shite out of me both because of his injury history and the Giants just being pathetic. ETN was so up and down this year that I just can’t justify him. I’m sure others can. Cook very similar + Goal line TD issues. Achane is so small and already dealt with a list of injuries + Wilson and Mostert. White was an absolute stud this year but I’d rather not hitch my wagon to Baker and the Bucs 2 years in a row, at least not in the first 2 rounds
