From the episode

I actually kind of hate being put in the position where if you know, everybody likes a player that I'm then now going to be forced into overpaying for Jalen Waddle.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Zachariason avoids overpaying for Waddle due to hype-driven bidding wars.

JJ Zachariason dislikes being forced into overpaying for Jalen Waddle in auction drafts because the player is widely known and hyped, creating bidding wars that drive up his cost above his projected value; Zachariason prefers to overpay for true elite players instead of mid-tier buzzy names.
