Outcome attribution

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

Fourth Down Prophets won by 1.4. The starting decision at FLEX accounted for 0.6 of that margin against the alternative it rejected.
The losing side left 1.8 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.

Week 4LineupSep 7, 13:02 UTC

Started A. St. Brown over S. Barkley at FLEX

Opponent has allowed the second-most receptions to slot receivers over the last four weeks. The matchup is worth more than the two-point projection gap.

Week 4WaiverSep 4, 14:33 UTC

Claimed G. Wilson 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.
