Zero RB Playbook: Who Will Be 2022’s Devin Singletary?

Shawn Siegele
November 11, 2022

Shawn Siegele uses the Advanced Team Stats Explorer, Strength of Schedule Streamer, Weekly Stat Explorer, and Stealing Signals tool to investigate NFL backfields ahead of Week 10.

D’Onta Foreman got Zero RB teams off to a good start in Week 10 with a 19-point performance on 31 carries. This isn’t the first or last time we’ll mention it, but Foreman is quite a load to bring down as a 230-pound back with 4.4 speed.

That size/athleticism combo gives Foreman a 98th percentile Freak Score, and he lived up to that label in a driving rain on Thursday night.

Who Will Be the 2022 Fantasy Playoff Stars?

Last year at this point, Devin Singletary was RB39, Sony Michel was RB56, and Rashaad Penny had scored 2.4 points in three appearances. They combined for 179.7 points in the fantasy playoffs and finished as the co-RB1 and RB5 in that span. Could we have a similar dynamic this season?

I’ll look for those backs in this article, but Ben Gretch and I performed a slightly different exercise on Stealing Bananas this week. We projected the first two rounds of 2023 fantasy drafts and forecast several big RB breakouts down the stretch.

I had only two RBs in the first six picks, but six total in Round 1. Can young stars prove themselves enough down the stretch to claw into this group?

The Deep Stashes and Look-Ahead Free Agent Adds That Could Win Your League

Cheap stashes in 20-roster-spot leagues give us a window into potentially popular waiver adds next week. In many cases these backs turned an uptick in Week 9 snaps into a path to fantasy relevance.
