Is 2026 The Perfect Storm For A Zero-RB Bounceback? RotoViz Overtime

Colm Kelly
August 3, 2026

Kevin Szafraniec joins Colm Kelly to discuss the challenges the Zero-RB strategy has faced in recent seasons. They will explore whether the 2026 fantasy football landscape could be ideal for Zero-RB drafters. Key questions include: Will veteran running backs maintain their efficiency? Will NFL scoring rebound, potentially boosting elite wide receiver performance? Have rookie average draft positions returned to prior levels? Join them later this week as they put their theories to the test in an FFPC Best Ball Tournament draft!
