Week 10 Waiver Wire

The Waiver Wire is still going! A big week for people to spend their money before it’s too late!

I’m actually thrilled to see Tank Dell as the #1 waiver target this week. I’ve always liked Tank and it had been a bummer to see him deal with so many injuries. He was second to Jayden Reed in my list of favorite WRs who can’t catch a break. Andy was able to bring Tank home with a whopping $30 bid, more than double the second highest bid but, at this point, why bother holding onto FA money? I also suspect that Andy has always wanted to be called “Tank” and this is the closest he can come to that nickname.

Since I didn’t really call out Andy for doubling up the next highest bid for Tank Dell then I need to be as forgiving to Yurk for his bewildering $22 bid for Aaron Rodgers. The only other bid was $0, which also seems like an overpay for Newsmax’s future lead sportscaster. Yurk must have seen seomthing in Aaron’s pre-bye 4.9 point performance that got him hot and bothered.

The overpaying continued as Brendan spent twice as much as the next bidder to land Kaleb Johnson. Now $20 for a potential starting RB isn’t really THAT much of an overpay but Marshawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks could be back soon so it could be a committee behind a porous offensive line. When told he was joining Clay Says…, Rodgers responded, “I thought I was immunized from this!”

I’m a little pissed at Johnny for outbidding Derek for Bryce Young as Bryce and Derek is one of our favorite toxic relationships. What would their name be? Bryrek? Deryce?
Derek won by losing because, in avoiding another ride of the Bryce Merry-Go-Round, he ended up with KIRK COUSINS! For all of my jokes about Kirk, did you know that he’s currently QB5? Derek got the fifth ranked QB for $0 while Yurk paid $22 for the 17th ranked QB. And now Kirk is (supposedly) in a much better offense while the Steelers added zero WRs to their team at the deadline.

I’m going to blame my current situation of working two jobs at once for forgetting why it’s always a bad idea to drop guys before the waiver wire. If I still had the players instead of empty roster spots, I wouldn’t have thrown away $5 by picking up two IDP when I only wanted one. I landed both Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson, snaking them from Eli who just went ahead and got Dre Greenlaw for free. Anybody want Payton Wilson? Who I might not hold onto for one more day. Remember when Wilson Phillips had a choke hold on the music industry? Two top fice albums and then disappeared for.over a decade. They also join the Fu-Schnickens with one of my favorite music industry moves - releasing two albums and then their third album was… a Greatest Hits album.

Rahul spent $5 on AJ Barner, which is a tad surprising since I’d have thought he would have saved his FA money for his boy Chris Brooks.

Eli double-dipped for WRs, grabbing Treylon Burks and Konata Mumpfield and Sons.

The Veep wasn’t all that active on the waiver wire because he was busy burning all of his suit jackets after hearing that Jim Jordan was named the new leader of the House. He also banished Will Lutz who plays in the home state of former leader Mike Johnson in favor of swing state kicker Chris Boswell.

Our highest non-competitive bid was just $5 this week. Nice job, everyone! Johnny gave up a Lincoln to bring in Pierre Strong Jr. who I imagine he’ll drop next week.

There were three Luvu lovers but Rahul was the man who got the rose for Frankie’s affections.

Eli was at it again, dropping the injured Jake Ferguson, for soon to be injured Tyler Higbee.

Rahul couldn’t get his favorite team’s QB so he went with his neighbor, landing Geno Smith to lead his troops.

Wait, Eli picked up ANOTHER player? How the hell does Eli have so many roster spots? The Commish saw he wasn’t going to win the league so he decided that he needed to lead in SOMETHING and apparently he chose roster moves. He’s made 41 moves; 2nd place is Johnny and Brett with 26. Anyway. Pat Bryant has joined the crowded WR room and I’m sure Eli greeted him with a “Oh, your team wears orange. Have I told you about MY orange jacket? Sit down right here. Konata play that ‘Little Lion Man’ song I love. And for the last time, Treylon, no, 50 emails to the Jags GM complaining about not trading Brian Thomas Jr. is NOT ENOUGH. Keep typing!”

The first place Snake brought in Dicker the Kicker. I got nothing.

Brett brought home the noise, brought home the funk by bringing home Savion Williams.

And if you want to see what mid-tier boss energy looks like

Eli made TWENTY roster claims this week. Clearly, he hasn’t been able to find a replacement for his bulk shopping fix since the whole Costco debacle and I’m nervous about what he’s going to turn to when the season is over. When you’re putting in bids for clearly AI generated names like Brevyn Span-Ford, you now you have a problem.
