Just like a player like Josh Allen's not attractive. There's too big of a cost involved.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Allen's ADP is too high for 18-team guillotine leagues due to low elimination risk.

JJ Zachariason states that Josh Allen is not attractive in guillotine/chopped league formats with 18+ teams, citing the same opportunity-cost logic as Brock Bowers: the high advancement rate (94% week one, >90% most of the season) makes positional scarcity less valuable, and there is 'too big of a cost involved' to draft a quarterback early in that format.
