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

Slot Machine won by 15.1. The starting decision at FLEX accounted for 6.3 of that margin against the alternative it rejected.
The losing side left 19.6 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.

Proposed M. Nabers for J. Daniels

Consolidated two mid-tier starters into one elite piece. My bench cannot start anyway, so depth was carrying no value.
