Your randomized rosters have arrived!

Can we use the waivers in this? I've got a player on IR already!

Yes

[Maxx]

au revoir Krabby

[Berober]

Just to jump on the back, I presume waiver rules will be in effect for Krabbys guys? 

[Maxx]

This is the de facto Guillotine thread.  It’s auction rules for free agents.  Waiver priority only comes in if there’s multiple people with the same bids, or no bids made.

The Krab has been culled, his players are now free to be bid on.  If you haven’t done auction free agency before, when you go to add a free agent, under the section where you pick someone to drop from your team, there’s a section labeled Bid Amount, put it how much you want to bid on the player there.

Everyone has $1000 to use, for the entire season.  So if you think Joe Burrow is your team’s one missing piece, bid the whole $1000 on him to guarantee you get him.

If you reach $0 you can still put in claims on free agents, but you’ll automatically lose the auction to anyone bidding any money.  Strategy!

I forget, is the next beheading based on who has the lowest week 2 score outright, or who has the lowest cumulative score through the season?

[Maxx]

Lowest week two score.

[Your Mom]

Thought there would be more of a demand for Burrow. Oh well at least I don't have to start "Danny Dimes" again  

[LL!]

I thought I was overpaying for him, but I was wrong. Someone else wanted him so bad.

I was worried that I was gonna overpay for Saquon, but great minds think alike.

[Maxx]

You kids and your avocado toast and your Joe Burrows and your Saquon Barkleys.  You aren't gonna have any money when you're older!  You gotta make sound Rashid Shaheed investments.  Ten dollars and you don't touch it and just let it grow!

Millennials and their instant gratification culture...

[The Buscher]

not that fantasy football matters at the moment after that kind of injury but my aggressive “I’m ok blowing half of my budget as long as I’m getting one of the top 5 workhorses in football” guillotine strategy has blown up in record time

Score one for the more frugally-minded among us

[Maxx]

Fitzy, we bid you adieu

 

[LL!]

That was way too close a call for me.

In a another league I'm in, we give points for returns yards, so Shaheed is actually a really solid or better flex play haha

[jrhodes]

It's a crazy season when Jerome Ford costs more on waivers than Breece Hall.

[Berober]

😅 Phew.
