Yoooooo, I missed last week because I was running around getting ready to go away, so here’s a quick two-fer. Lots of transactions Week 7 but not much action on The Wire, probably even less in Week 8. Gotta put together a LeagueStory to run through some of the overarching trends of the season so far, but that’s for another time:

Now THIS, this is the Wire I like to see folks. Three of five games were close enough that these roster moves could be said to have made (almost) all of the difference between a sweet dub and a lowly L.

Before we get into it, I wanted to use my platform to say my piece on the Taysom Hill debate: The fact of the matter is that half of The League bid on this player, and because of this it’s hard for any of them to deny that whoever won the auction would not have played him in the TE spot. After all, that’s the only spot ESPN is allowing him to be played in. It’s also worth repeating that there was no talk of him being “ineligible” until after Ryan had already spent the money, which is unfair to him and anyone else who might have won the auction had different offers been made. I don’t know if it’s easy to manually adjust FAAB, but if Andrew as the Commish is using executive power to disallow Ryan from slotting Hill in the TE spot then he should definitely be compensated the amount he spent. I personally think he should be allowed to play him, the Saints are kind of a mess so if you want to take that risk then go for it. That’s why I didn’t bid. I applaud Ryan for making a smart move with his FAAB in a season where he’s already a favorite for the belt, hope we can all level up like that.

Mfw it is Wednesday my dudes:

We had some fun this week fellas, and by we I mean me because I didn’t lose to Owen. There were two games that were pretty close that we’re gonna talk about but first I’ll reiterate something that was said on the podcast last week: Almost everyone got who they bid on, so y’all spent too much again. There was one competitive bid after the initial Tuesday-Wednesday rush that could have had some big implications on the week, let’s get into it.

Alrighty, I’ve got a lot to go over and some new stuff to talk about so we’re keeping the Wire talk pretty brief. In Week 3, everyone got who they bid on except for me who wanted the Saints Defense. It would not have mattered because I got whooped by Ryan the fantasy football Gawd. This is to say that aside from Brent and anyone who bid only $1 and got their guy, y’all spent TOO MUCH. We’ll see if that comes back to bit ya later in the season.

“Are you sure?”? Fuck yes I am, you kidding? Idk what my company thinks this is, but everyone needs a PASSION PROJECT. One that’ll eventually get them fat stacks of cash and a private jet, but we can keep that on the down low. For now, let’s get back into the swing of things:
