What’d you think I wasn’t gonna find time to do the write-up this week? I almost didn’t, but luckily I ran out of work to do at 3 on a Friday which is great. I’m gonna take a nap after this. We had A LOT of Double Whammies this week, which doesn’t really mean anything but we like to see everyone making good moves. Unfortunately, there will still be an Ugly section this week because there were some blunderful blunders made as well. Let’s talk to it:

The Good: Before you keep reading, scroll down to the bottom and check out the Waiver Summary (the last table included). Done? Ok, so you see the clear winner of the waiver wire this week was The Commish, Andrew Vigs. This the most free points I’ve seen in my short career of looking at that kind of thing. It really hurts to look at that small difference in the net points acquired and the points that were put into the starting line-up, because one small line-up change would’ve also made him a winner where it really counts. Who would’ve thought that Rex Burkhead would go dummy in a primetime game against the Ravens? Nonetheless, hell of a fight. Keep it up and you’ll be Back before you know it.

Alex, who is done with fantasy football, was the highest bidder of the week. He grabbed John Brown for $10 after I dropped him in the trade with Vigs for Waller and Gordon. Now that I think about it I should’ve kept Brown and dropped Gordon, since it remains to be seen that Gordon will provide fantasy value. Brown scored 10.2, so Alex got what he paid for almost exactly. He also decided to start the Lions defense, who scored -1 point (points?) but didn’t stop the departing owner from logging a win against Max. What section is this again? Let’s move on to a couple of winners.

I’ve been saying it for months, Abie is making moves and should be feared because we are now entering the Endgame. The decision Sunday morning to take Kalen Ballage (after he had been added and dropped many times throughout the week) could be what put his team over the top this week. Granted, removing the 12.7 points still would’ve given him a win, but the butterfly effect is very real. I told him to go for Jamaal Williams, what do I know? I’ll tell you, not too much.

I’m a little short at running back in my other league after losing Saquon and taking a completely failed gamble on Cam Akers. So I picked up J.D. McKissic a few weeks ago, and he did okay. Then in Week 9 he started going off. I didn’t necessarily NEED another RB, but I saw my guy was on the auction block and threw a three dollar bill out there, if anything to keep others (my opponent) from possibly getting a lowkey player with high fantasy value. That’s exactly what happened. Brendan and Brent both put $2 bids on J.D. and lost out to me. Leading up to Sunday, I started questioning his legitness and decided to sit him despite spending the $3. It turns out that all my lineup decisions were wrong, and I left a TON of points from him, DJ Moore, Ronald Jones, and Malcolm Brown on the bench. I still managed to win in a nail-biter thanks to a relatively quiet performance from Dalvin Cook. I’m starting basically all those guys I sat last week and I won’t be surprised if I get screwed over again, especially after the bad omen of spending $4 on Jameis to find out today that he won’t be starting. You gotta wait until next week to find out how that turns out though.

Rounding out the Good is Kris, who had two solid Double Whammies with the Packers D/ST and Duke Johnson, both of whom started and helped Kris get a much-needed win. Can these standings BE any closer??

The Ugly: We skipped the Bad section this week, as there are only two other teams I want to talk about. Beanzy and Lebreezy, both of you guys pretty much reenacted the Simpsons gag where Sideshow Bob can’t stop stepping on rakes that pop up and hit his face (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRq1Ksh-32g). Both of them had decent pick-ups in the FAAB auction, but the waiver wire absolutely demolished both of them. Let’s look at one at a time:

Beans – If you listened to the podcast, you’d know that Ryan Nall was a big topic of conversation. Sadly, he didn’t get a chance to shine because he was dropped for Kalen Ballage. But wait a minute, didn’t Abie start Ballage? You’re absolutely right! Brendan had the bag secured and dropped it for Jared Goof. At the very least, he did better than the alternative of Carson Wentz, and Brendan probably would’ve slashed his own tires if he lost because of Wentz. Then, Beans Corp. terminated Boston Scott due to poor performance only to have him score 13.9. The guy he picked up instead was Hunter Renfrow, who was then dropped for Darnell Mooney, started and ended up doing worse than Ryan Nall. Big oof.

Lebron – Brendan’s paragraph above really read like A Series of Unfortunate Events to me. Lebron’s week can be summed up by one bad move: dropping Nyheim Hines. 26 points. This hurt me too because of the back seat that Jonathan Taylor has apparently taken in the Colts offense. Had Lebron kept NyHeimdall (as I’m sure he’ll be called) in at flex and all other conditions were the same, he would’ve squeaked out a win against Abie by 0.5 points. I did the math. Butterfly effect though. Ts & Ps.

Welp, another week in the books. The biggest room in the world is room for improvement, let’s all strive for that. This race is tighter than ever, and there’s no telling who will be in and who will be out. Let’s see if Taysom Hill really has what it takes to eat a W. Maybe Mike Thomas will have a good game, maybe Austin Ekeler or George Kittle or Joe Mixon or CMC will come back, maybe the Jaguars will cover (not fantasy related). For now, this has been The Wire, Go Bucks.

Just kidding, we miss it though! What is there an election going on or something? Nobody wants to only read this, it’s a supplement to the game recaps either in podcast or article form. By the way, who’s working on the article analyzing all the trades from this season? And does anyone want to write this for me next week? I promise there aren’t a lot of players who got bidded on and I’ll even send you the charts. Let me know! Anyway, let’s get it started in here:

The Good: Our Founder Beans, who was just given a good-natured ribbing by Yours Truly, redeemed himself from last week when he found himself in the Ugly section. This week was quite different, and Beans Corp oversaw an under-the-radar Double Whammy with a late bid on Brandin Cooks (a familiar face) and a “Same-Start-Win” with his pick-up of the Rams defense. See the charts above and below for why those are two of the best moves of the week, things turned out overall pretty bad in most of the few transactions that went on. We’re getting into the nitty-gritty here. The win against Brent in Week 9 was much needed, but now a running back is what’s needed. We’ll see if he gets one next week…

Max grabbed Jerick McKinnon (another familiar face) for $8, outbidding Brendan by $2. The San Francisco RB scored 14.3 points in a matchup that was won by Max by only 6.5. Lebron made a bunch of moves on the waiver wire that didn’t really work out, one in particular we’ll discuss soon, but if all else stayed the same, it really was this smart bid that put Max’s team over the top. Just watch your back because as I’ve told Brent before, the view from the top is nice but the fall is that much longer.

I was about to write about how Abie offered a total of $22 and none of it was actually spent, but I just realized he paid $16 for Devonta Freeman (a third familiar auctionee). My formulas didn’t pick up that amount as spent because Freeman had 0 points this week out with an injury. The Giants didn’t need him to win, but Abie might’ve needed this valuable player in order to win this week. Hopefully that $16 was well spent and Devonta comes back and leads the G-Men to a division championship, regardless of how pathetic the division in question may be. I fixed the formula by giving him 0.000001 points and calculated that Kris actually saved the most this week with $8. Good job Kris.

The Bad: Vigs, the Commissioner we all know and love, was this week’s big spender, balling out for 2019 Heisman hopeful J.K. Dobbins (the fourth and final familiar face). If you haven’t noticed, when you bid on someone who was already bid on this season there’s about a 50% chance they’re gonna be a bust. The key is to bid low on these guys, like Brendan and Max did. J.K. knows how to run, he does his job well there’s no doubt, but the Ravens running game has not really panned out this year. Dobbins is also a rookie, and I know I drafted him but he definitely needs a few years to get his footing before he becomes the next Ray Rice (but less abusive). 4.5 points for J.K. on a $20 bid, 7.9 points for Tre-Quan Smith who was dropped, double saddness. Andrew also dropped Brandin Cooks (15.8) for a hurt Matt Breida, adding insult to injury and helping his podcast co-host in the process.

Rounding out the Bad section is the other Vignali twin. Alex’s team performance definitely belonged in the Ugly section, but I’m not here to discuss all that. He dropped the Titans D (13) for the Cardinals D (2) in a “Same-Start-Loss”. Keeping the Titans onboard wouldn’t have secured the dub, but it would’ve made it look a little closer.

The Ugly: Standup Alert! This move really couldn’t have come at a worse time for Lebron. I don’t want to get into all the drama since I wasn’t present at the Owners’ Retreat and the Secretary didn’t take the best notes. That’ll all be discussed in the soon-to-be-greenlit reality show/webseries called League Watch. We’re shopping it with Viacom, they want a funny animal sidekick/ref but I don’t know if that would really fit the dynamic we have right now. But I digress…Lebron saw CMC was coming back and decided that Teddy Splashdown would just hand the ball off the rest of the season instead of slinging dimes to Curtis Samuel and my nearly acquired friend Robby Anderson (anyone want DJ Moore?) Unfortunately for Lebu, that’s simply not the case. Plus, the #1 overall pick is out once again. Big Ben did well for sure, idk how that guy is still playing outside of maybe using that deer antler shit, but leaving Teddy in the starting line-up would’ve gotten The Big Lebuski three points closer to a much-needed win. Crunch time, buddy.

Well, that about wraps it up for this week. Thanks for playing along, and think about what I said in the first paragraph. If you’re thinking about it, just start doing it and you’ll make time for it. Lots of different aspects of The League to be covered and discussed ad nauseum for an audience of 9. We love to see it. For now, this is The Wire. Happy Armistice Day!

Sup sup. I worked a little later than usual today and we have a pretty short list of offers for this week, so let’s get right into it:

The Good: DOUBLE WHAMMY ALERT! Abie, Abie, Abie, the moves are off the chart, you’re killin’ it. If you’ve read this column before, you know how I feel about the savvy defense streams, and this is up there with some of the best. The Cowboys are a new Opponent people are looking for in a defense week-to-week, and the divisional matchup paid off in dividends for HOCKEYPRO69. Six bucks is a modest but not crazy offer for a player you might immediately drop, as shown by Andrew V’s competing $3 bid. As you can see above, big point returns in both categories. To top it off, he had a big win this week, and this is one of the steps he took that solidified it.

Next, we have our resident e-boy wiggle dicker, Ryan O’Connell. The Martian went into this week’s auction hopeful for a few quick position player pick-ups in Sterling Shepherd and Carlos Hyde. He bidded low – as he should have – and unfortunately lost out to higher bidders named Alex and Brent. They both sat the guys they spent their money on, Ryan took his $7 and ran. On to the waiver wire, he immediately dropped Dalton Schultz (an earlier auction grab) and picked up Curtis Samuel. Go Bucks. I had him last year for a little while in one league or another, he always flies a little under the radar. Had an okay season last year, but got demoted like Dwayne Haskins when “Big Robby Anderson” came to town. This week though, he played just like he did when he was a whipper-snapper catching passes in Columbus. This nearly 20 point performance put Marzy over the top for a big win. Makes it seem like he DOESN’T want to do more Tik Tok dances 😉

Lastly, we have the Commish, who is definitely Back. A few good moves can turn into one great move, textbook case here for our fearless leader. First, he picked up Joey Burrow for a very solid performance (no double whammy bc the player he dropped was on a bye), then he grabbed the Saints defense for nobody and got a cool se7en points from them. These both contributed to him being the victor of the Battle of the Blackouts II. You missed out on the Eagles defense which would’ve give you and even more commanding win, but you saved $3 and I like where your head is at.

The Bad: Brent left Week 8 looking to shake things up, and for good reason. First, he lost out on Joe Burrow and had to settle for Derek Carr, who put up 7.46 less points. Then he bought Carlos Hyde who is…injured? Got injured? I’m not entirely sure, go Bucks. He also left some points on the bench in the form of Jarvis Landry and Tony Pollard. Who knows, a few better moves on his part, Abie doesn’t make the moves that he does, and you could’ve held onto a win and prolonged your view from the top. It’s a long fall from there, just saying. I won’t tell you how to spend your FAAB, but seems like trades get you better players 🙂

The Ugly: These moves were just awful, backfired entirely. Any good feeling these owners had related to these moves went unfulfilled, you really do hate to see it but it happens. We’ll start with Yours Truly, who picked up Demarcus Robinson just one week too early. Scotty Miller vs. the Giants with Chris Godwin out? To me that is the most appetizing pick-up since I-don’t-know-when. Bye Demarcus, hello first place in the division. I stayed up all Monday Night to watch this 3 on 2 finisher between me and Max, pitting teammates against teammates and Graham Gano against Danny Dimes. Ronald Jones fumble at the beginning, fuckin Mike Evans touchdown at the end, Scotty gets looks but ends up with a meager 5.7. Just torture. Oh, Demarcus? FOURTEEN POINT THREE. Max and I are not on speaking terms but I’m really just mad at…myself.

Beans buddy, savin up your FAAB isn’t the worst decision ever. What IS the worst decision is to drop Mecole Hardman the week that Patrick Mahomes decides to come back. You picked up Nelson Agholor and kept him on the bench, but the Hard Man scored even more points this week than Demarcus! Nineteen point fuckin one. You too would’ve held on a little longer to your secondary dominance of the League and your division. Better hope Dalvin keeps putting the team on his back.

Best for last, right? Come on, you’ve been reading it, you know which direction this list is going. By far, the biggest spender this week was Alex. 20 for his 40 dollars sat on the bench, both giving above-projection performances. Corey Davis must’ve had pigskin magnets on his gloves because he almost picked up 25 points in the best game of his season. The one player he did decide to play was Henry Ruggs III, who disappointed Henry Ruggs II and Henry Ruggs I by scoring a measly 1.9. In the process of that trainwreck, Mike Williams got a casual 18.5 for no one. Would that have saved Alex’s week? No, but it adds insult to injury. I’d say better luck next week, but we’re playing each other so maybe wait until Week 10 to fix this nose-dive of a run.

Well, that’s my story. Short, sweet, and to the point. I’m gonna go watch Arrested Development, or Clone High, or maybe Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure. Live from my work-from-home desk, this has been The Wire.

You can’t make this stuff up, I was three paragraphs into this week’s write-up when I got a notification on my laptop screen that says “Your computer is being restarted by IT.” Son of a bitch, I hope this doesn’t delete everything I was writing. It did though, so here we are. It’s too late to do that all again (what I had was basically a love letter to Brendan’s and my team (or our FAAB moves at least) and a lot of good jokes that will never see the light of day.

If anyone knows how to get that back, maybe I’ll finish it out but the short story is this: Brendan made great moves and won, I made a good move (the best move) and won, Max and Alex made some not great moves and lost, and Ryan made many mostly bad moves and still won. You can figure out the rest by looking up at the chart. Speaking of the chart, I made some additions and want to show you some new things I’m working on in lieu of a proper rundown.

So the owners’ names that are highlighted blue are just who I write about for one reason or another, I think I’ve left that in there before. Any player name shaded in blue has shown up on The Wire before, either as a player bought with FAAB or dropped for a FAAB pick-up. A red border around a player added means they’ve been bought with FAAB bucks before (used goods used goods). Orange border means this person has been dropped for a FAAB pickup before (whatever that’s worth, they’re good at being dropped). This doesn’t take into account waiver wire pick-ups for free, only money transactions, but maybe I’ll add that later.

What you see now is the list of players who have achieved what I’ve dubbed a “Double Whammy”. This means the player has positive differences in the K column (points-amount paid) and the N column (more points than who was dropped for them). Bonus points if they’re the same position (I highlighted), and extra bonus points if it’s the #1 most expensive player of the week. That’s what half of the love letter to Brendan’s Boston Scott pick-up was about. I also thought it was a coincidence that he and I both got a Double Whammy on a defense in a week where we beat Abie. Really cool that three happened this week, but now onto something completely different.

This is what I named the “Fate Chart”, because it’s based on the player you bought’s fate whether or not you actually got points for the FAAB dollars you spent. If anyone has a better name I’m very open to suggestions. Basically, this table looks for value in the players you bid on after the week of their pick-up, but it only counts the points they scored on your team whether they started or sat. There will be more to this as the season goes on and I have time to toy with it a bit, but look upon it now in its young glory! I can also sort it by owner, position, team, offer amount and most efficient offer (even though you can clearly tell it’s Rodrigo the GOAT).

There were a lot of other things I wanted to say, I wanted to congratulate Ryan on the win despite sitting Christian Kirk, dropping Randall Cobb, and not picking up Gio Bernard, but my IT Department took that chance away from me. They’ve helped me out of many jams before so I’ll let it slide this time. I thank you all for your continued readership and hope we all score 150 next week! This has been The Wire, kind of. Go League and goodnight.

…And we are back to our regularly scheduled Wednesday release date. Boy, last week was definitely something else. As I think Beans said in the GroupMe, “one of the worst weeks The League has ever seen.” Not for me, but I’ll dive into that in a bit. Not for Brent either, congrats on 6-0 and on beating my bid for the Dolphins defense by a dollar. I’ll need that $7 later since I used a good chunk of my FAAB this week elsewhere. Might as well get into it:

As you can see in the above table, the top three most expensive players this week scored less than their purchase price, albeit to a lesser degree than Week 5. I guess we’re learning. I failed to take my own advice and spent $21 on Ryan Fitzpatrick to make sure Kris couldn’t have him, which actually kind of worked. He ended up bidding only six of his sixteen remaining dollars on The Beard instead of going for another one of the options available. To be honest I’m surprised he would go against the Jets like that, but I guess the ‘phins were/are streaking and the Jets are gonna Jets regardless of who’s betting where. I happened to wake up on the earlier side to check the offers report and noticed Ryan Tannehill was a free agent, so I scooped him up too. This turned out to be much more helpful than the Fitzpatrick bid as it took almost 30 points away from the Norse Horse. In the end it might not have mattered, and the bottom line is I’m out $32 including the $11 I spent on Jason Sanders for a one-week streaming play. Just get Randy Bullock back and win this week Kris, hopefully you’ll be okay. I believe Jimmy G is available as well.

Max activated his future-telling powers and saw that I called him out for dropping a player at a different position from the one he was picking up because it made my stats mean less than they already do. In response to this, he grabbed Frank Gore (9.0) and said goodbye to his buddy Rex Burkhead (1.4). The $15 he spent could have been $6, but the N-diff (which works best for same-position transactions) came out to +7.6, highest of the week. Great job! Now go back and read every blog post you supposedly didn’t know about until a few days ago.

This guy Abie keeps pulling these great moves and still has most of his FAAB left, has he done this before? Just kidding we all have. I believe he’s had the STEAL OF THE WEEK distinction before, but this week it’s in the form of Mr. Travis Fulgham. Only five dollars for 16.5 points? That’s more than 3 points per dollar (yes, I’m an accountant). Abie also secured the rocket ship that is Chase Claypool for FREE after no one bid on him due to Brent’s psyche-out. I think I whiffed a smidge of Albany collusion there 0_0. He was also the first one on the waiver wire after the auction moves were finished, another example of early bird gets the worm (see “Tannehill”). With a tough matchup ahead, Abie better hope I’m begrudgingly writing good things about his moves next week. Let’s just see what happens though.

Speaking of AB, he’s going to the Seahawks! Don’t try and pick him up though, Kris beat you to it. Best of luck with that.

Last auction player I’d like to discuss is our dearly departed Vampire Hunter Alex. He had a perfectly efficient $6-for-6 picking up the Football Team’s D/ST, unfortunately it cost him the Cardinals D (14) who decimated the Cowboys on Monday Night. Alex also took a chance on Heisman runner-up J.K. Dobbins after Mark Ingram went down the week prior, dropping Adrian Peterson in the process. Brent scooped up AP last second for one Alexander Hamilton and came out in the green with 12.3 points. Dobbins disappointed with a 3.9, and even though he stayed on Alex’s bench it’s not a great look.

Not FAAB related, but Beans’ last-second pickup of Younghoe Koo for Robbie Gould gave him a +13 net point total, highest of the week. Wanted to say good job for that despite the loss. You also gotta respect the move for Andy Dalton despite no one else bidding on him and many better QBs being available. Might be time to work on the streaming strategy.

I’ve gotten some good feedback and suggestions on what people want to see from me based on my output. I got some things cookin’ that I’m excited about, and definitely continue to be open to comments. I’m always adding to the spreadsheet I use for these reports to deepen my insights, let me know if you want to take a look at the organized chaos so you can see my process and tailor your own suggestions. People helping people.

I’m gonna go have some dinner. I’m excited for this week’s matchups and the write-up it’ll produce. Until then, bid low, bid slow, and don’t spend it all in one place. This has been The Wire, go League, and stream Poppy on Spotify 🙂

What’s hannenin’? It’s Friday, congratulations to all on surviving another week. You probably don’t quite remember what happened last Tuesday and how it played out this past weekend, so I’m here to break it down. In short: not too much. I have a few moves to talk about, you can take a look at the rest at the top and at the bottom, or just look through the Recent Activity tab on the League page. Here we go…

As per usual, the top of the auction list was comprised of players who don’t deserve nearly as much FAAB as we’ve put towards them. The offending owners this week happen to be Ryan and Brendan, and while I commend Ryan for finally using some of his bucks I’ll continue to point out that hardly anyone is going to be worth more than $20 or even 15. We’ve yet to see multiple $20+ offers on a single player, even after the massacre that was Week 2. Maybe next year we will come to our senses, it’s all about those small margins here.

Ryan’s top two pick-ups COMBINED for 1.1 points this week, which is super inefficient just off the bat, but supposedly there’s a method to this madness. He beat out Lebron, Kris, Brendan and Alex on those two offers, maybe one of them wants to trade? Another interesting play of Ryan’s week I’ll mention was the three card monte he was playing on the waiver wire. First, he added Gardner Minshew for Matt Ryan, then did a flip flop and dropped Minshew to get Ryan back (they have the same name lol), and finally decided he wanted to keep both of them and dropped Damiere Byrd for The Mustache. He picked him as the right guy to start as well, leading to his first win against some no-name team, nice job there.

Beans’ add of D’Ernest Johnson for $25 also seems pretty inefficient at first when you see he only scored 4.1 points the following week, but we may have to wait and see about this one too. With Nick Chubb out for multiple weeks and the Browns still gathering momentum, it seems hopeful that Johnson will get starter volume. Brent’s rival $14 bid made this pick a little more interesting, as did Brent’s win over Beans Corp. later that week. A little taste of defeat and some more injuries might cause one of The League’s iron horses to hit the breaks, but an easy upcoming schedule might be just what the doctor ordered. Stay tuned…

We’ve made it to the middle of the column, where I talk about who played the best free-agency ball of the week. This week’s winner has gotta be Alex, a man who certainly has his priorities in order when it comes to FAAB. He exchanged the Chiefs defense for the Cardinals for $10, which seems high for a defense, but the Cardinals put up a very solid 8 for the week. While that puts him in the negative in column K, his big win comes after factoring in the -5 points his former defense anti-scored, giving him a +13 N-diff, best of the week by a lot. Alex also swapped Cam Newton for Teddy Bridgewater, who put up a very respectable 20.8 and helped the Vampire Hunters go up 4-1. There’s something to be said about momentum here, and Alex has got it.

The receiving end of Alex’s beating this week happened to be Kris, who made the very solid move of bidding $3 on Justin Jackson after Austin Eckler went down (he’s great on Twitter, I really should’ve thought about getting him, but I’ll give you that for what I did to you this week hehe). His 11.1 point performance went to waste though since he ended up riding the bench, but this was a strategic move if I ever saw one. If Kris had a good quarterback this week, I’d definitely be nervous as our matchup approaches 😉

Another guy who made some good moves this week was our reporter friend Maxi Boy, who I found out sent Nick Saban a bunch of Matzo ball soup after the news broke that he tested positive for the Big C. Let’s focus on pro football for a second here buddy, capisce? He picked up Graham Gano (20) and dropped the Broncos D/ST (BYE), probably because he saw the Giants have had zero touchdowns thrown since Week 1. Good move. He also dropped Austin Hooper and picked up Justin Herbert (27.4), which also helped him win against the 0-5-but-still-hanging-around Andrew Vignali. Since the players you added and dropped are at different positions, the point difference stats don’t work as well and you get points docked in the competition to be the winner of the week. I don’t make the rules.

The biggest blunder made this week was Abie dropping Brandin Cooks (26.1) for Brandon Aiyuk (5.9), whoops. Now no one would ever do this, but leaving Cooks in the line-up and replacing Tyler Lockett or Amari Cooper with Emmanuel Sanders would’ve given you the win against Lebron. You probably already knew that though. We as a League can’t let Lebron get hot, especially after a different Lebron just became a The Champ. Tell me again why I couldn’t have Robby Anderson?

To wrap things up, I’ll talk a little bit about myself. I need lesson from Alex on how to pick the right defenses. You know the phrase, fool me once, yadda yadda yadda. The Cowboys defense fooled me once by getting -9 points a few weeks back, but they were playing the Giants this week so they couldn’t repeat that abortion, so I dropped the Broncos and picked the Boys back up (not to be confused with the Amazon Prime series, The Boys, which I still haven’t seen). Or could they? My fear of being fooled twice outweighed my risk-taking lizard brain and I went with the Saints, who got run up on by Justin Herbert and gave me a pitiful 2 points on my way to a tough loss to some intergalactic team.

Most of the other moves made leading up to the action on Sunday were due to COVID lists and some teams on Bye Weeks. Next week the Byes will really start coming into play, some of our budgets are getting low, and moves have already been made to take advantage of that. We’ll see how they play out in roughly 36 hours. Until then, bid low, bid slow, and don’t spend it all in one place. This has been Th3 Wir3, go League.
