STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Croskey-Merritt was an 'industry plant' last season—hyped by the fantasy community despite lacking production, talent, or opportunity. He scored only 1.7 fantasy points in week two and didn't produce early, exemplifying how analyst hype can inflate a player's perceived value.
