An early look at the running back dead zone.

That's what we're going to be talking about today on stealing bananas.

I'm by Gretchenc find my Twitter at yards per grudge.

Find my substack at mygretch. substack.com with me as always is sean

segal can find all of his great work at rhodoviz Sean we're going to look at some early ADP

the running back dead zone we've talked a lot about over the last couple years you noted uh to me as

we were talking about this idea that we will inevitably be doing some more

evergreen type stuff on it later in the year and certainly ADP needs to settle, especially at

running back, especially with the rookies and free agency and all of that. But it's fun right now,

especially as we're like going right into the combine, we're going to probably start to get some movement with these rookies.

It's fun to at least look at the early part of the Deadzan or consider some of these profiles, some of the veterans that have landed in there, some of the young guys that have landed in there.

You're talking a little bit about, you know, talking that we would talk through some of the potential risers, some of the potential

fallers or people that we may want to be fading even if they don't move or if they don't move

into August or what have you. And so it'll be fun to kind of break down this area of drafts.

First, how you do it? Good, good. And it's always fun to go over this topic with you because you

were the person who really popularized named explained the running back dead zone and why drafters

want to stay away from it and as i say that i have the rhodoviz best ball win rate explorer

open the 2021 we have the positional heatiz best ball win rate explorer open to 2021.

We have the positional heat maps within that tool.

You look at the FFPC Slim Contest, just an example.

And rounds three to round six, you have this wall of red.

And obviously the wall of red are those backs who are giving you negative win rates.
