This is the Lay-Bow Podcast with your host, JJ Zacharyse.

What's up everyone, it's JJ Zacharyse and the Editor-in-Chief at Fandall and at NumberFier

And this is episode 173 of the Late Round Podcast, one of the many shows that are part

of the NumberFier podcast network.

Thanks for tuning in.

It's been a lot of talk over the last week about Zero RB and the viability of the strategy

through the first four weeks of the fantasy football season.

A lot of people swear by it because we're seeing guys like Leonard Fortnett and Daven

Cook and Devante Freeman all not playing because of injury.

And when that's the case, it helps Zero RB drafters.

I'm not necessarily someone who goes Zero RB.

When I do, it's most definitely in full PPR leagues where I'm starting three wideouts

in a flex.

But all the research that I've done has suggested that having an elite running back gives you

the largest edge in fantasy football.

And while it's not always easy to have that running back on your roster, generally speaking,

those backs are still coming from the early rounds of drafts.

My go-to look this year actually was more of a modified Zero RB approach.

I'd actually argue that that's my most frequent strategy in fantasy football.

I'll get an early round running back and then I'll pound the receiver position and play

that RB2 spot in a Zero RB type of way.
