Another Wednesday, another round of FAAB chaos. Here’s who won, who lost, and who got absolutely sniped on the waiver wire this week.
✅ The Winners
Let A Naber Know wins the priciest add of the week, dropping $14 to land WR Jalen Coker (CAR), cutting bait on RB Keaton Mitchell (LAC) to make room. That’s a serious commitment of FAAB for a depth piece — someone’s clearly buying the breakout.
Buffalo Bonez had a busy night, making two separate moves:
- Spent $9 on WR Devaughn Vele (NO), dropping RB George Holani (SEA)
- Spent $3 to flip streaming defenses, adding the Buccaneers D/ST and cutting the Lions D/ST
THE Norse Horse made a quieter but sneaky-smart move, paying $5 for QB Jared Goff (DET) and dropping TE Michael Mayer (LV) — a low-cost streamer/backup pickup at quarterback.
Team WR got in on the receiver run too, landing WR Caleb Douglas (MIA) for $4, dropping WR Adonai Mitchell (NYJ) to clear the spot.
❌ The Ones Who Got Sniped
It wasn’t pretty for everyone. A few squads fired bids that never had a chance:
- Jalen Coker (CAR) was the hottest name on the wire — and the most contested. Abella DangerRuss ($10), Team WR ($8), and Buffalo Bonez ($4) all threw bids his way, but Let A Naber Know’s $14 buried the field.
- Devaughn Vele (NO) drew a failed $7 bid from Let A Naber Know — ironic, since they’d already spent big elsewhere — right before Buffalo Bonez locked him up for $9.
- Caleb Douglas (MIA) was a near-miss for THE Notorious B.H.G., whose $3 bid lost out to Team WR’s $4.
- THE Norse Horse whiffed on a $2 flier for the Chiefs D/ST, though this one was more of a paperwork issue — the note flagged that “a player involved has already been dropped,” meaning the claim got voided before it ever had a shot at competing.
📊 Quick-Hit Summary
| Team | Move | Bid |
|---|---|---|
| Let A Naber Know | +Jalen Coker (CAR WR) / −Keaton Mitchell (LAC RB) | $14 |
| Buffalo Bonez | +Devaughn Vele (NO WR) / −George Holani (SEA RB) | $9 |
| THE Norse Horse | +Jared Goff (DET QB) / −Michael Mayer (LV TE) | $5 |
| Team WR | +Caleb Douglas (MIA WR) / −Adonai Mitchell (NYJ WR) | $4 |
| Buffalo Bonez | +Buccaneers D/ST / −Lions D/ST | $3 |
The Takeaway
Wide receiver depth was the story of the night — three separate teams chased Jalen Coker and Devaughn Vele, and FAAB budgets took a real hit fighting over them. If you’re still sitting on cash, note that the free-agent WR pool clearly has some league-mates spooked about depth. Streaming D/ST and backup QBs stayed cheap, so there’s still value to be had there if you’re patient.
That’s the wire for this week — see you next Wednesday.
If you’ve made it this far, I might as well mention that Claude wrote this. Thanks for reading.
