GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY & THE BEST STACKS OF 2026

The other aspect to consider when comparing stacks to other stacks is overlap. Basically, whenever the QB or WR score fantasy points, how likely is it that the other player scored simultaneously. I defined scoring overlap as the % of total PPR fantasy points that the stack scores that are directly connected between the two. This means we consider passing/receiving yards and touchdowns while excluding all points from rushing and receptions. NOTE: Stack linkage is not limited to only the time a QB and pass catcher played together, rather considering what levels did different elements contribute to scoring fantasy points.

IN DEFENSE OF DEVON ACHANE🐬🧵 The general consensus among Big Fantasy and your favorite niche analyst alike (unless im your fav <3) is Devon Achane is the worst pick in the first two rounds, or possibly on the whole board. That’s generally agreeable. His team is horrible and he goes from playing with a screen merchant statue to a mobile gunslinger. However, Devon Achane is one of my favorite players so I wanted to do some research to see if these claims actually hold up analytically. TLDR: Perception is overstated in reality the range of outcomes is just expanded. This contrarian Achane bull case was my inspiration (shoutout Quent).

Among QBs on bad teams that started at least 8 games for their bad team and averaged north of 40 rushing yards per start we have a 93 games sample since 1999 of RBs playing on bad teams with mobile QBs. The 20 Achane comps (269 games): 21.4 RB XFP per game Bad team rushing QB sample (93 games): 19.8 RB XFP per game If you’re more privy to viewing Achane as an offensive weapon rather than just an RB, the mobile QB aspect is actually positive: Achane comps total skill position XFP per game: 54.3 Mobile QB Games: 57.0
