oh that's cool - there are different schools of thought and I typed up quite a bit about it back a couple pages. but stacking is *probably* better suited for the big tournaments where you're trying to advance thru rounds where you're competing with teams from other subleagues (of 12 teams like usual). So in other words if you have Burrow and Chase you're probably matched up against someone else that has Burrow and Chase. But do you have Higgins when he goes off in week 17? For example. So in the tourneys, stacking is arguably a necessity in order to compete with others who have the same "stacks" but you're hoping to get someone unique that has a big week when it matters and then you have leverage vs the field. So like maybe instead of Higgins it's Gesicki or Iosivas that has an outlier 2TD game in week 15 or something and it allows you to advance. That kind of thing.I don’t play best ball so I have never seen WR stacks before.
But this FBG league we're doing is a pure 17 week points race that is internal and there are no playoffs. So stacking is a more limited strategy here and arguably not a good one per se. But the basic argument that one week DJ Moore goes off and another week Odunze goes off, then the fact that it is best ball means you've got their variance covered and you're hitting a spike week every week with both of them being rostered. (In a very silly vacuum but that's the idea).
In this case the fact this is SuperFlex and that I took Caleb Williams in the 3rd means I was committing to the idea of him helping me win the ship. It's drafting and committing to a scenario. So of course I'm going to want Bears receivers. Because that is the scenario I'm drafting to. Put another way, if Caleb busts this year then what does it matter what happens after that point in my draft? It's a miss regardless. Could you win this thing by drafting a QB in the 3rd who busts but by not stacking and finding other producers? **** maybe but that seems nutty to me.
