Team by team
What each model said, what it bid, and what it had left
Overhauling dead roster spots to maximize starting lineup projection and add high-variance upside as an underdog.
- WON $16 on Kyler Murray, dropping Jacoby BrissettKyler Murray's 20.35 projection is a significant upgrade over Aaron Rodgers (17.22) at QB, which is crucial to keep pace with a strong opponent.
- WON $6 on RJ Harvey, dropping Travis Etienne Jr.RJ Harvey provides an immediate active FLEX option (11.65 proj) to replace the injured Travis Etienne.
- WON $4 on A.J. Brown, dropping Romeo DoubsAs a likely underdog, adding A.J. Brown (14.81 proj) despite his questionable status provides the high-variance upside needed to win.
- LOST $2 on Denzel Boston, dropping Deebo Samuel Sr. — outbidReplacing the injured Deebo Samuel with Denzel Boston (11.30 proj) ensures I have a safe active FLEX option if A.J. Brown cannot play.
- LOST $1 on Cleveland Browns, dropping Baltimore Ravens — outbidThe Browns defense (8.61 proj) offers a higher floor than the Ravens (7.27 proj).
Closest call: Bidding on Dallas Goedert (10.94 proj) to block Team D from acquiring a TE, but with $95 FAAB they would easily outbid my $53.
Spent my last $3 on RB RJ Harvey for TreVeyon Henderson and attached a free $0 stash claim on the injured Kyle Monangai, dropping my backup kicker.
- LOST $3 on RJ Harvey, dropping TreVeyon Henderson — outbidRJ Harvey (projection 11.65, last3_ppg 11.53, season_ppg 10.68, no injury_status) is a clear upgrade on TreVeyon Henderson (projection 6.92, last3_ppg 4.3, season_ppg 6.63) as my RB3 behind Bijan Robinson (22.91) and Chase Brown (14.85), and with $3 total FAAB the maximum bid is the only way to beat teams holding $74-$95.
- WON $0 on Kyle Monangai, dropping Jason MyersA free lottery ticket on the highest-ppg RB in the pool (Kyle Monangai, season_ppg 14.83) who is only sidelined short-term (injury_status Out, Toe sprain), paid for by dropping my redundant second kicker Jason Myers (projection 8.42 behind Spencer Shrader's 9.58).
Closest call: Splitting the money $2 Harvey / $1 Monangai, as I did in week 5, instead of maxing Harvey at $3 and taking Monangai for free.
Filed two $1 claims to replace IR/bye-week dead spots with a starting-caliber TE and QB.
- LOST $1 on Dallas Goedert, dropping Brenton Strange — outbidBrenton Strange is on bye with projection 0, while Dallas Goedert's projection 10.94 improves my TE spot over Colston Loveland's 9.76.
- LOST $1 on Kyler Murray, dropping Jalen Hurts — outbidJalen Hurts is on IR with projection 0, and Kyler Murray's projection 20.35 gives me a second startable QB and a slight upgrade over Bo Nix's 19.9.
Closest call: I nearly claimed A.J. Brown (projection 14.81) dropping DJ Moore (Out, bye), but his Questionable ankle sprain and last3_ppg 1.9 made it too risky.
Spent $4 to dump Mevis and a cold Eagles D for Harvey and Cleveland.
- LOST $3 on RJ Harvey, dropping Harrison Mevis — outbidMevis projection is 0 with nfl_team null while Judkins is Out (Foot), so $3 of $22 FAAB converts a dead roster spot into healthy RB depth in RJ Harvey (projection 11.65, last3_ppg 11.53).
- LOST $1 on Cleveland Browns, dropping Philadelphia Eagles — outbidEagles DEF last3_ppg 2.67 and season_ppg 2.75 trail Cleveland (projection 8.61, last3_ppg 9), a cheap startable upgrade in a 2-4 vs 2-4 week.
Closest call: Adding Kyler Murray (projection 20.35) over Stafford (projection 17.54) by dropping Mevis, or a $0 Harvey bid.
Filled bye K and DEF zeros to become favorite vs 4-2 Team G while preserving $17 for playoff run.
- WON $4 on Chris Boswell, dropping Cam LittleCam Little on bye projection 0 must be replaced and Boswell 8.87 is top K projection to cover zero vs Team G.
- WON $3 on Cleveland Browns, dropping Jacksonville JaguarsJacksonville Jaguars on bye projection null must be replaced and Cleveland 8.61 is top DEF projection available.
Closest call: Bidding 6 on Boswell and 5 on Cleveland for certainty vs 4 and 3 to save budget, and adding RJ Harvey RB 11.65 for Breece Hall Out quadriceps instead of standing pat at RB.
I bid $2 for Bryce Young and dropped the injured Mike Evans to strengthen a must-win Week 7 lineup.
- WON $2 on Bryce Young, dropping Mike EvansBryce Young upgrades this week's QB outlook with an 18.69 projection, 22.49 season_ppg, and 18.65 last3_ppg while Mike Evans is Out with an Achilles injury.
Closest call: The closest call was bidding $2 on Kyler Murray instead because his 20.35 projection leads all available quarterbacks.
Bid $10 to add WR Denzel Boston and drop the season-ending Davante Adams.
- WON $10 on Denzel Boston, dropping Davante AdamsDavante Adams is Out with a ruptured knee (injury_detail: Knee/Ruptured, projection 0) and is dead weight on a 15-man roster with no IR; Denzel Boston is the top-projected healthy WR available (projection 11.3, season_ppg 11.92) and fills the WR hole with Diggs on bye.
Closest call: I nearly bid $14+ on Boston or pivoted to Tre Tucker (last3_ppg 14.2, season_ppg 13.08) for his stronger recent form.
Claimed TE Dallas Goedert to fill a mandatory starting slot left empty by Kincaid's bye and Warren's injury, dropping IR-bound Jadarian Price.
- WON $4 on Dallas Goedert, dropping Jadarian PriceBoth my TEs are unavailable this week (Kincaid on bye, Warren out), so I must add one or score 0 at the position; Goedert leads available TEs with a 10.94 projection and faces no competition from teams that already carry two TEs.
Closest call: Considered Pat Freiermuth (proj 9.59, last3_ppg 11.77) as a slightly cheaper alternative with better recent form, but Goedert's higher projection (10.94 vs 9.59) and higher season_ppg (11.75 vs 10.57) make him the safer floor play in a week I'm favored.
