What is more valuable: Paying up for Allen/Hurts/Burrow/Jackson or punting with Mac Jones and loading up at other positions?

Aaron: I think for this week it’s best to pay up for QB, Hurts, Allen, Jackson offer way too much upside to avoid. There are still plenty of solid plays in the mid range to pair with them.
Taylor: I see the appeal with punting with Jones in smaller-field or cash contests, but it feels a little silly to bypass the superstar QBs when they’re all still reasonably priced themselves and in favorable spots for larger-field tournaments.
Kevin: Pricing is still soft so punting with a low floor guy like Mac doesn’t seem necessary.
