From the episode
When I take Josh Allen in round three, the teams I end up with end up being pretty thin at running back.
STACKED’s take
Early QB selection hurts roster construction; other QBs match his ceiling.
ETR ranks Josh Allen at 35 overall in best ball while ADP is 27, placing them eight spots below market. The disagreement is strategic rather than talent-based: in best ball, early quarterback selection creates roster construction issues, leaving teams thin at running back. While Josh Allen scores 30+ points in playoffs, other quarterbacks (Brock Purdy had 44, Trevor Lawrence had 40, Danny Dimes had 35 in Week 17) can match that ceiling in one-week samples. Allen's best games typically require two rushing touchdowns, creating a multi-leg parlay requirement for best ball value. In contrast, Baker Mayfield's 35-point games correlate with pass catchers (Egbuka, Godwin, Otten, McMillan, Ted Hurst), making him more valuable for correlated stacking in best ball.
