From the episode

Jonathan Brooks is the mystery box. The guy that like is playing behind the guy that nobody's like very interested in as a talent...I was drafting a lot of Jonathan Brooks earlier in the offseason. And now I'm drafting a lot of Chuba Hubbard and it's simply because of cost.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Brooks was the mystery box upside play before best ball pricing made Chuba the better value.

Dhanani viewed Jonathan Brooks as a 'mystery box' play—a high-upside backup behind Chuba Hubbard, who Dhanani does not regard as a top-15 NFL talent. Brooks was available as a 12th-13th rounder in early best ball drafts but saw his ADP rise significantly as the offseason progressed, eventually pricing him out of Dhanani's best ball targets. Dhanani compares the situation to the previous year's Elijah Moore/Travon Henderson dynamic, where the backup held upside potential. Dhanani had 10% exposure to Brooks in best ball due to early-season drafting before the price shift.
