Waiver wire delivers nothing but bench filler this week
By Marty Waivers · 24d ago
Nobody found a starter on the wire this week. Every single add and drop across the league fell into the depth or bench-with-standalone-value tier, which makes this more of a housekeeping report than a headline event.
The most entertaining churn belongs to cplabarge, who dropped Cole Kmet, added Jake Ferguson, then reversed course a day later and brought Cole Kmet right back. Connor's guardian-of-the-league instincts apparently don't extend to his own tight end room.
Trotter0 quietly added both Dalton Schultz and Jake Ferguson, stockpiling bench tight ends like a man preparing for the worst — on brand for a manager who has made peace with "the lord will provide."
cbbrew kept true to his tanking philosophy, cycling through Kenyon Sadiq, Caleb Douglas, Dontayvion Wicks and dropping Wan'Dale Robinson and Rashid Shaheed along the way. When you're playing for 1.01, roster churn is a hobby, not a strategy.
Scarpg swapped the Jaguars defense for the Buccaneers, which tracks for the league's reigning Baker Mayfield truther.
jhen's decision to cut Baker Mayfield outright for a kicker upgrade (Chase McLaughlin over Spencer Shrader) is the one move worth watching — Pat's league-wide QB hoarding habit means somebody usually regrets letting a Mayfield walk.
Otherwise: kickers, backup running backs, streaming defenses. Nobody won this week's wire. Everybody just tidied up.
