This podcast has spent hours talking about the "running back dead zone" in the last few months, but what is it, what players comprise it and how do fantasy managers avoid it? Matt Harmon is joined by Andy Behrens for a deep dive into what it means and how to avoid being sucked into bad choices during rounds 4-7.

They kick off the episode running through some news items around Baker Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers, the Pittsburgh Steelers WRs and 2nd-round rookie wideouts Alec Pierce & Skyy Moore. Closing out the episode, they preview the 2022 Arizona Cardinals offense.
