When we're talking fantasy football, draft strategy... I can hit the thumbs up, drop a comment below. Which one do you think after I go over all this is the best strategy?

0:55.6

Love to get your feedback. When we're talking fantasy football draft strategy to win your leagues for fantasy football 2025 and beyond. Let's dive into it. Okay.

1:02.7

So the first one I want to talk about here is zero RB. What does zero RB mean? And first and foremost, I'm going to tell you, this is my least favorite.

1:10.9

Okay?

1:11.1

And I'll tell you guys why. Okay? The running back position when we're talking to strategy is the most scarce position. Well, you're saying, well, Joe, that's not true. There's tons of running backs. There is. But how many of them, like literally a handful of them are only, like are the only ones that are not in a committee so you got to lock them down

1:28.3

early so to go zero rb is ludicrous what does zero rb mean it means basically fading the running back

1:36.1

position to pretty much the fifth round okay now that can be effective there are guys that kind of

1:41.7

bloom a little bit rookies that come in that are sleepers that emerge, which is great. So you'll get a sleeper that may start kicking in in regards to high fantasy football production, maybe five, six, seven weeks into the season. Maybe, you know, early on in the season, but typically rookies that come in, particularly this year, Ashton Genties come in. He's going to be a pretty early draft pick. So you gotta imagine he's coming off, you know, early in drafts. He could go off depending on where he lands, right? So is this a good strategy? First of all, again, what is it? It's basically waiting on running back after the fourth round. So you start looking at running backs to the fifth round. Again, the problem I have with this is that you're looking at running backs

2:19.3

that aren't going to be the true workhorses that are going to be probably fighting to be in a committee and just aren't going to get the volume as some of the early round guys. The guys you want to get, especially in those early rounds, are going to be prime for a ton of volume. volume, you're going to get, you know, 250 attempts, 300 attempts plus that's what you're looking for when you get a workhorse running back. So that's very, very important. And also, by going to see your RB, you've got to understand that this position is extremely volatile, especially very injury prone. So you want to beef it up. So let's just say your RB1 is a guy that's mediocre, not a set mediocre, but a guy that's coming off round five, who's probably going to be in a committee, not going to get the volume that you want. You got it now at RB1. Your RB1 is now essentially a guy that's questionable to say the least and not going to get that volume. And what if he gets hurt? Now you're looking at guys that are basically like your home run hitters, right, Guys that you're taking a risk on that are kind of like boom or bust, right? That's why in my 16 round drafts, by the way, you can pre-order, I make sure that your roster is optimized with the right running backs and the right rounds. You have a balance. I like to roster around four to five running backs on my team just to make sure I have depth at this very uh scary position I

3:25.8

would say well not scary if you if you got a backup plan you got 60 hours you know what you're

3:28.9

doing but a position that they could really get hurt or easily and you know got a lot of

3:33.6

volatility and now you know a lot of committee so zero RAB is the first one a lot of

3:38.6

people preach this and I'm totally against this.

3:42.2

I don't believe in it.
