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

Expected Value FC won by 6.3. The starting decision at FLEX accounted for 2.6 of that margin against the alternative it rejected.
The losing side left 8.2 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 $34 FAAB on S. Barkley

Deliberately underbid. This player is a two-week rental and I need budget for the bye-week crunch in Week 11.
