Can Zero RB Still Win in 2025? Fantasy Football Strategy Breakdown w/ Davis Mattek

Author: Fantasy Football, Fantasy Points, NFL, Theo Gremminger June 18, 2025 Duration: 1:09:26
Is the Zero RB strategy still viable in today’s fantasy football landscape — or is it a trap waiting to blow up your draft? On this episode of Fantasy Football Daily, Davis Mattek joins the show to dissect the 2025 draft environment and explore whether fading early running backs can still lead to league-winning upside. We dive into: The ideal WR/TE starts in Rounds 1-2 How WR depth dominates flex spots Davis’ favorite mid-round WR targets (Rice, JSN, Garrett Wilson, and more) How to recover if you miss out on elite tight ends in TEP formats Whether you need an elite QB for Zero RB to work Which RB archetypes to prioritize (pass-catchers, ambiguous backfields, upside bets) Round-by-round RB targets from Rounds 5 through 12+ If you're debating Zero RB, Anchor RB, or any hybrid build — this episode gives you the clarity (and the targets) to draft with confidence.
