From the episode

I often find myself taking some combination of Gentie, Barkley, Hampton, Chase Brown at the 1-2 turn, due to there being much more quality running backs there than wide receivers.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Barkley is part of the elite RB tier worth targeting at the 1-2 turn.

JJ Zachariason identifies Barkley as part of the elite early-round running back tier worth targeting at the 1-2 turn in 12-team leagues; emphasizes that elite running backs provide a huge edge in fantasy football and are almost always drafted early, making this tier the most attractive option at the position relative to wide receiver alternatives.
