The Zero RB Theory: My Interpretation and Results

The Zero RB Theory: My Interpretation and Results

*The creation of the concepts of modern fantasy football are credited to Wilfred "Bill the Gill" Winkenbach, Bill Tunnel and Scotty Stirling in 1962. At some point over the past 53 years, I am sure that someone drafted four or five wide receivers in a row as a strategy. The Internet has helped create a platform to share ideas and connect people, but fantasy players unfortunately did not have the same opportunity until usage of the Internet become more mainstream to connect with each other and share ideas and concepts. I have even viewed forums where players have said they have used this strategy for the last 20 years and are offended it is becoming popular or people claim it as their own. High stakes fantasy winner Henry Muto actually stated that he drafted four wide receivers in a row in a 2003 high stakes contest and was called crazy. Strategies have a long an interesting history, and again, it is impossible to find the first person ever to execute a designed draft plan. To track down the very first person who limited their risk by drafting wide receivers would be impossible, as it would be impossible to find the first person who decided to draft running backs in Round 1 and Round 2. In recent years, the only site I am familiar with that currently receives accreditation for the strategy and popularization is RotoViz . My first experience with the concept was on an article through GridIron Experts that highlighted exact statistics on limiting the risk, but I realized that there were many fantasy football players who did not understand or know of the concept. In my 2014 RotoBowl league, several people questioned why one of the players was drafting just wide receivers in Rounds 1-6. Even in a league that cost close to $300 to play, many fantasy players were still unaware of the strategy. I decided to help showcase my experience with the strategy. I make no claims of creating this strategy, and my goal was to help fantasy football players be better equipped to win their leagues.*

The Zero RB Theory gained popularity in 2014, but many fantasy football players still don't understand the concept behind this strategy.

Jack Delaney, a top-40 finisher in the 2014 Rotobowl, explains the theory, details the pros and cons, showcases how and when to execute on the theory, provides altered strategies and even includes his thought process on an actual mock draft.

You won't find what players to target here, but you will learn how to implement the strategy, and what to look for in your 2015 fantasy football draft. Delaney tells players not to blindly follow the theory, and he wants readers to make their own decisions on their 2015 fantasy football strategies.

"Jack Delaney has done something amazing - he's taken a strategy I've never heard of and made it seem so simple and easy to understand I feel stupid for having never used it before. It's an easy read, and I can guarantee I won't forget any of this when it's draft day." Travis Pastore, Contributor and podcast host for So-Called Fantasy Experts
