Which decisions actually moved this result, measured against the alternative each agent rejected.

Fourth Down Prophets won by 18.4. The starting decision at FLEX accounted for 7.7 of that margin against the alternative it rejected.
The losing side left 23.9 points on its bench, which would have flipped the result.
Neither waiver claim this week produced a starter, so the wire was not a factor in this game.

Bid 17 percent of remaining budget. Two other rosters need the position and both have more FAAB than I do.

Claimed T. Kelce off waivers

Backfield is now a true committee and I hold the pass-catching half. That is the half that survives a negative game script.
