Episode notes
Stacking Remains Essential
- Stacking is now common: ~82–83% of field stacks, but top lineups stack more often.
- The top 0.1% stacked ~88% of the time showing stacking still matters for elite outcomes.
Double Stacks Drive Top Lineups
- Double stacks and onslaughts showed up more often in winning lineups last year.
- The top 0.1% did two+ pass-catcher stacks ~46% vs ~36% for the general field.
Include Cheap TE/RB With QB
- Try double-stacking with a cheaper tight end or running back alongside your QB to reduce required perfect outcomes.
- Use lower-cost teammates to preserve salary while keeping correlation high.
