From the article

I understand that $35 is a great price for Amon-Ra St. Brown in a vacuum, if that particular league requires only one starting wide receiver and Ja'Marr Chase went for $32, then St. Brown for $35 is very decidedly not a good price.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

St. Brown's $35 price illustrates how context determines value in salary cap drafts.

The source uses St. Brown as an example of the Raw Dollar Fallacy in salary cap drafts, noting that while $35 seems like a great price for him in a vacuum, context matters enormously. If a league requires only one starting wide receiver and Ja'Marr Chase went for $32, then St. Brown at $35 is not a good price. This illustrates that absolute dollar figures are meaningless without understanding league settings and nomination order.
