Video: A 2024 Flavored Best Ball Draft
the historical run of health for Christian McAffrey, for Derrick Henry, for Saquon Barkley, for Jir Gibbs, for Bejon Robinson... a 2024 version of me did not love Saquon Barkley. I probably would have taken Amarian Hampton... we are going to take Saquon Barkley in this draft which I think is totally fine.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Part of healthy RB cohort; 2024 logic preferred Hampton, but drafted anyway.

Davis Mattek acknowledges Saquon Barkley as part of the historically healthy expensive running back cohort (alongside Christian McAffrey, Derrick Henry, Jir Gibbs, Bejon Robinson) in 2024-2025, but notes a 2024-version of himself would have preferred Amarian Hampton. Still drafts Barkley as a marriage of 2024 framework with 2026 learnings, including him as one of five to six running backs on the roster alongside Judkins, Rashad White, and Tyrone Tracy.
