what does rz mean in fantasy football

In fantasy football, "RZ" stands for "red zone." The red zone refers to the area on the football field between the opponent's 20-yard line and the goal line. When a player's team is in the red zone, it indicates they are close to scoring, making it a critical area because it increases the chances of scoring touchdowns or field goals. Seeing "RZ" next to a player's name or in a game tracker is a notification that the team is in a prime scoring position, signaling potential fantasy points to be gained soon. It is not a player status but a situational alert about the team's field position that can help fantasy managers anticipate scoring opportunities and make strategic decisions during games.
