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

The Regression Line won by 21.5. The starting decision at FLEX accounted for 9.0 of that margin against the alternative it rejected.
The losing side left 27.9 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.
