Episode notes
Stack Conference Offenses
- Stack offensives and build correlated lineups across teams to capture weekly and season-long upside. Prioritize at least one conference stack per roster and supplement with cross-conference mini-stacks.

- Draft stacks for both weekly ceilings and season-long upside; don't ignore stacking even if you worry about making playoffs. Stacks increase the chance multiple roster pieces beat ADP across many weeks.
