| 0:00.0 | How can we use preseason information to get better at fantasy and not fall into traps? |
| 0:19.5 | That's what we're going to talk about this week on stealing bananas. |
| 0:22.8 | I'm Ben Gretsch. You can find me on Twitter at Yards Per Gretch. You can find my substack at Ben Greshot-Substack.com. I'm joined as always by Sean Siegel. You can find all of his awesome work at Rodeviz. The zero-rb targets have started to roll out. by the time you hear this, they might already all be out. |
| 0:38.3 | The absolute best pieces of fantasy content in the entire industry every single year. |
| 0:44.3 | I had someone ask me the other day that they felt like they had a pretty good idea of kind of the concept of |
| 0:51.3 | zero RB and into fragility and how to build rosters. But like if I could really pinpoint some of these late targets, it would help them fill it out. Obviously, as the first place, you know, I'm sending people. Is the zero RB targets, that's where you want to go to get those answers. John, how you do? Awesome. And I appreciate you mentioning that going through that. It's been fun to write. It's |
| 1:12.8 | always both a fun piece and one where you feel quite a bit of pressure because it is a situation. |
| 1:19.7 | We want to hit these guys both for ourselves and for the subscribers. And we also talk a little |
| 1:25.7 | bit about what we want with those players. Now, then you and I did, |
| 1:30.7 | actually, four shows on Zer Running Back went through the elements of it a lot. But we did talk about |
| 1:36.0 | the different profiles that we want to get some exposure to throughout this back end of the draft, |
| 1:42.8 | this part we're going for the zero running back targets, |
| 1:45.1 | and how balancing some of those profiles allows us to have both the necessary upside, right? |
| 1:50.0 | The zero RB list through the years has allowed us had a lot of top 10 players. |
| 1:54.1 | So if people are telling you, you have to use a top three round pick to get someone who is an |
| 1:58.8 | impact guy at running back. |
| 1:59.8 | That's simply not true. |
| 2:01.1 | At the same time, we know we're not going to be perfect. We can't see the future. If we did, these guys wouldn't be going so late, right? And so we also want to have backs for some other profiles to make sure we can do the things to get us through. And we've mentioned the team that the Blair Andrews and I drafted last year a number of times was an extreme zero RV team. |
| 2:18.5 | Well, and we didn't take a running back until round 11. |
| 2:21.6 | And then actually made some mistakes in terms of who we did take. |
| 2:24.2 | We missed on our big free agent bid for James Robinson, just missed by a couple of dollars, |
