Shawn Siegele goes through the Zero RB Top 15 Countdown and explains how he’s targeting these backs in real drafts.

I’m often asked about the mistakes people make when trying to execute Zero RB. Here are the two biggest:

During the Countdown, we investigated the resumes of the 15 targets and explained why they were undervalued, but we also discussed the general profiles that allow us to build a successful team. Today, I’ll go into a little more detail on how to execute the draft plan when you’re on the clock. We have slightly different needs in each draft, and we’ll have different needs depending on the type of plan we’re executing – modified, soft, or pure Zero RB.

2021 Zero RB Countdown

Zero RB Countdown: No. 15 to No. 11 – A Wealth of Options Late
Zero RB Countdown: No. 10 to No. 6 – The Highlight Backs Join the List
Zero RB Countdown: No. 5 to No. 1 – The Final 5 Bring Monster Upside
Zero RB Deep Watch: 5 Backs About to Jump 7 Rounds

Before we jump in, I also want to quickly mention Conor O’Driscoll’s look at some deep RBs who will help round out your draft plan, Corbin Young’s look at some of our favorite draft bargains, and Matt Spencer’s Pick Prediction Tool, which will be indispensable in winning your home league.
