Shawn Siegele uses the Advanced Team Stat Explorer, Game Level Similarity Projections, Team Splits tool, Weekly Player Explorer, Team Pace app, Strength of Schedule Streamer, Advanced Player Explorer, and more to help you dominate the first round of the fantasy playoffs. 

Five main Zero RB storylines emerged in the past week:

  • Rhamondre Stevenson goes down early for the Patriots, and both Kevin Harris and Pierre Strong impress in his absence.
  • Chuba Hubbard posts his second consecutive 17-opportunity game sandwiched around a bye and set a new season-high with 18.9 points.
  • James Cook fails to build on his excellent Week 13, falling back from 20 opportunities to only five.
  • J.K. Dobbins impresses in his return, demonstrating a lack of long speed but showing the lateral agility that’s made him a star-in-waiting. He averages more than 5.0 yards before contact and gains over 100 yards with a score.
  • Michael Carter returns to lead in snaps against the Bills (37-35), but Zonovan Knight again dominates the opportunities (19-11) and has a strong fantasy day.

We’ll dive into some of these backfields a little more, discuss the unfortunate injury to Dameon Pierce, and examine the order in which you’ll have to make some tough RB decisions in Week 15.
