But that's right.

We are going to talk about the running back dead zone today,

which is something that has been a hot button topic for several years now in the fantasy industry.

At first, it was sort of not necessarily rejected, but took a couple of years to be widely

accepted. Then it seemed to shift

ADP pretty dramatically in the last year or two. Last year on this show, famously Sean, we were

very in on the running back dead zone, trying to target it very heavily, going after the Brees

Hall, Jamir Gibbs contingent. There were names that didn't hit in that group jk

dobbins gets injured and and now this year whenever i hear it discussed i i basically hear it

said the dead zone doesn't exist anymore because it's you know a dp shifted things so much

and i think that's i'm yeah i'm sure that i well at least that i feel that that's an oversimpl I think that's, yeah, I'm sure that I, well, at least that I feel that that's an

oversimplification, that that's, yes, ADP has shifted, but people want to now remove the lessons

that the running back dead zone taught us from their entire analysis and just say, well,

we don't even need to consider this thing anymore.
