Scott Pianowski and Matt Harmon break down those games and more in this week’s podcast episode. They also discuss the Zero-RB Theory in a week where many rushers — like…Isaiah Crowell?! — had big performances and what to make of the running back landscape going forward.

Our experts then answer your questions about some of the surprising fantasy lines from Sunday, analyzing which were a sign of things to come and which were nothing more than just plain old fool’s gold.
