Alright squad, buckle up ’cause we’re diving into Week 3 waiver madness. Woke up Monday morning with my eyes half-closed but brain already racing. Coffee pot’s my first stop—fuel for the grind.
The Pre-Game Ritual
Cracked open the laptop, still in sweatpants. Checked scores from Sunday’s games first. Saw Joe Burrow limping again? Ugh, not my guy. Instantly knew backup QBs would be hot this week. Scrolled through injury reports like my life depended on it—Tyreek Hill’s ankle got me sweating bullets too.
Deep Dive Mode Activated
Started digging into the garbage heap of free agents in my 12-team league. Nobody cares about your bench stash until it explodes, right? Zeroed in on three names everyone’s sleeping on:
- Kyren Williams (RB) – That Rams backfield’s messy, but dude got 14 carries? Smelled opportunity.
- Tutu Atwell (WR) – With Kupp still healing, someone’s gotta catch passes from Stafford. Why not him?
- Sam Howell (QB) – Looked… fine? Good waiver dart throw if Burrow sinks me.
Bidding Wars & Panic Moves
Wasted 45 minutes overthinking FAAB bids. Felt like a poker game. Threw $12 at Kyren—worth it if he’s RB2 material. Grabbed Atwell for free while my league mates snoozed. Got sneaky with defenses too. Dropped the Broncos D (burned me bad) for the Colts. Gotta play matchups early.
Wednesday Morning Quarterbacking
Waivers cleared. Got Kyren but lost Howell to Karen in accounting who bid $1 more. Rage-sipped my coffee. Checked the wire again—found Adam Thielen lurking. Panthers stink, but he’s catching everything? Snagged him as my “why the heck not” move. League chat’s blowing up now. Pete’s mad I snagged Kyren. Too bad, Pete. Win your matchups, scrub.
That’s the Week 3 hustle. Feels like dumpster diving sometimes, but hey—one man’s trash is another man’s flex starter.
