Whenever I write a piece like this, I always stipulate that I’m wrong a lot. I usually try to spin it that there is even a value to being wrong, if you’re wrong in the right ways.1 But Kelvin Benjamin was the top guy on my “RotoViz favorites: Do Not

The No. 1 question about Zero RB is a simple one. Where do you find running backs? The NFL Draft. Rookies tend to be overvalued in fantasy, but inefficiencies in the draft process tend to balance that equation. Breakout RBs. I examined my process for finding breakout runners in Zero
