Using his ever-present data-driven approach, Dwain McFarland shows all his work and does a deep dive on a collection of quarterbacks who could be possibilities from the aforementioned four dual-threats to the late-round options who could tag team you to a title.šš¼

Going Zero RB in a best ball draft is fairly common. With formats like Underdog needing to start three WRs, when the pass catchers start flying off the board itās easy to push the RBs down the board. But that would be too easy for a Zero RB bro like Pete Overzet. He needed a challenge.
Pistol Pete wanted to take it to the next level by holding off on pulling the trigger on a running back until the ninth round, just to see how that roster would look. Itās a good thing he wasnāt eating during the draft, because waiting so long might have turned his stomach. Warning for all best ball drafters: Do not try this at home. āļøā¬ļø
