  • RB Draft Strategies
    Jul 16 2025

    Jeff breaks down why going RB-heavy early, the old-school “Robust RB” approach, is more risky than rewarding in today’s fantasy landscape. He lays out the key reasons this strategy puts you at a disadvantage, from injury volatility to positional depth and opportunity cost. Then he dives into the two RB strategies that actually give you an edge: Hero RB and Zero RB. Jeff explains the pros of each, when to use them, and how to execute them. Whether you’re anchoring your roster with a bell cow or building from the WR position and attacking RB later, he has you covered. If you want to walk into your draft with a real plan at the most volatile position in fantasy, this episode is for you.
