From the episode

if I'm Daniel, I have the first pick, I'm taking Christian McCaffrey and nominating him because let's just say in a $200 salary cap league, he goes for $41.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

McCaffrey at ~$41 in $200 cap leagues is a key leverage play.

Used as an example of a high-profile player in salary cap draft strategy. In a $200 salary cap league, he's projected to go for around $41, which is significant leverage. Speaker notes that nominating him early can force other teams to spend money, giving you more flexibility later. However, be careful because sometimes people will be patient early and he won't go for as much as expected.
