In Part 1, Shawn covered sleeper candidates who offer inexpensive receiving upside mixed with freakish athletic ability. Part 2 focused on the next generation of breakout candidates. Today in Part 3, he looks at why some of the best backs in football still land deep into Zero RB territory and breaks down their tournament-winning scenarios.

Welcome to the 2022 Zero RB target list, where we help you find inexpensive RBs to destroy your league. The list isn’t just for Zero RB owners. You can use the list to construct a Zero RB Dream Team, fill out your Extreme Anchor roster, or build Flex upside into an RB-heavy start.

The Zero RB list has been helping RotoViz writers and users to high finishes in Main Events and tournament championships in best ball. A quick look at past results, and you’ll understand why.

In 2014, Shawn explained the methodology he used from 2008 to 2013 to create outsized gains in high stakes formats. Since then the list has become part of the site’s backbone, printing money for subscribers.
