Shawn Siegele looks at all the best trade opportunities at the RB position and dives into the trendy names on next week’s waiver wire.

The Zero RB Playbook will settle in as a Thursday or Friday article in most weeks, but I’ve really enjoyed the tempo of our RB content. Bjorn Yang-Vaernet gets you ready for those early waiver runs with two versions of Winning the Waiver Wire, Blair Andrews helps you understand every NFL depth chart in the Zero RB Watch, Angad Uppal locates the best schedule-based pickups in the Buy Low Report, and Corbin Young spotlights backs with superstar peripherals in Advanced RB Stats.

Reading these pieces and playing with tools like the NFL Player ExplorerStealing SignalsAdvanced Stats Explorer gives me a good feel for how to approach potential deep-league stashes, buy-low options, and (hopefully) savvy trade offers.

All three of the Buy Lows in this space last week rehabbed their values considerably in Week 2. Let’s see if we can keep the streak going.
