Shawn Siegele looks at five heavily discounted RBs who were much better than advertised in 2020.

Dave Caban has just finished the new Advanced Stats Explorer which provides a wealth of charting data for our 2021 subs.

  • Accuracy percentages for QBs from clean and pressured pockets
  • Broken tackles, yards after contact, and evasion rates for RBs
  • A wealth of route data for WRs and TEs, plus catchable target percentages and drops

With the 2021 Zero RB Top-15 Candidates List on the horizon, I’m going to go under the hood of the advanced RB stats and look at five inexpensive draft options that were far better than the common perception.

5 RBs Who Dominated in 2020 and Should Be on Your Fantasy Radar
