Does Zero-RB work in 2026?

No running backs until round 5 — on purpose. Ian and Jagger break down everything Zero RB for 2026: what the strategy actually is (and what it isn't — that round-3 RB is Hero RB, a different show), when to finally start clicking running backs, exactly which RBs fit the build at their current Sleeper ADP, and the two live mock drafts where we put all of it into practice. TreVeyon Henderson or Cam Skattebo at the round-4/5 turn, the ambiguous backfields you should be farming for discounts (Steelers, Panthers, Broncos, Commanders, Vikings), "flex with benefits" picks like Blake Corum and Kyle Monangai, and why your last bench spots need touches — not just lottery tickets. 📈 Get 20% OFF any RotoWire subscription — promo code IAN20 👉 https://www.rotowire.com/?ref=owmwyje 🏈 Run your own picks through RotoWire's FREE mock draft tool: 👉 https://www.rotowire.com/football/moc... ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 What Zero RB actually is 0:38 The rules — no RB until round 5 2:07 Be like water (don't force any strategy) 2:22 The goal: a WR super team + one elite QB/TE 4:20 Rounds 4-7 — picking your first RB 9:12 Rounds 6-9 — getting to 4 RBs 15:20 The last bench spots: touches vs. handcuffs 17:59 Early QB/TE means you only need ONE 19:04 Mock draft #1 — Zero RB from pick 3 33:32 Mock draft #2 — running it back from pick 6 44:47 The verdict: is Zero RB worth it in 2026?
