Does the waiver wire give it to the person who claimed the player first?

Waiver order doesn't depend on who claimed it first. The whole point of the waiver is to allow anyone to make a claim without trying to be the first (within ~24 hours of player being dropped on the wire; or until Tuesday evening if claiming over the weekend) and then claims are resolved in the reverse order of standings - last team gets first dibs, etc. One wrinkle is that when you get your claim resolved to your favor (you get the player) then you drop to the back of the line for the claim on your next player. It's somewhat similar to snake draft.

Check waiver report, this may give you some insight how it works:

Hmm... well I just checked and you're waiver wire order 2/8 while I'm 8/8, so my guess is he'll go to you. Cry

Not quite, it wasn't bbc.reporter's first choice.

@nutildah. What time did you claim for D'Ernest Jones in the waiver wire? I am trying claim him also, I did it yesterday, about 5 AM forum time hehehe. Does the waiver wire give it to the person who claimed the player first?

Also, what is everyone’s rating for runningback Chris Evans of the Bengals?

It was a pretty good game, all in all. I was surprised to see the Bills defense give up so many big runs. I'm sure nutildah wasn't complaining though.

I'm sure he's very happy to win by 50+ points as opposed to merely 30 points Grin

Well, our training staff receives per score bonuses so we're incentivized to find ways to pile it on.

It was a good game indeed but I got greedy and bet on the Bills to cover -7, hoping to ride the thin line between the best of both worlds, where Henry puts up some points for FF but the Bills still win it.

I'm excited by the prospects of testing out a brand new RB for Cleveland, D'Ernest Jones, will give me a reason to watch the game on Thursday.

Heuristic still has a shot at making the playoffs:

Your team isn't that bad really, just haven't been able to get everybody to click at the same time... and then you've had some awful luck with injuries. I'll be rooting for Joe Burrow on Thursday to take out Denver.

Ok, ok, I know, tiebreakers, but it probably won't be that close after 14 games.

Yeah not to mention all the people taking cmc first instead of Henry kicking themselves. Henry is an absolute football and ff stud. Have tannehill as my qb in another league and kills me everytime just ground and pound.

He was an absolute stud last night. Tannehill's only job is to throw just often enough to sell the play action run.

Yeah Derek Henry is on a different planet right now. I mean I haven’t seen a dude dominate form a position of power like he is since Adrian Peterson in his prime. That guy just straight beasting people and sometimes it’s easy to forget that these dudes he’s destroying are the best in the world at what they do. Something else.

Not sure how i pulled this off but i got two wins, pure luck! I mean how often do you see Allen and the Bills being stopped on a 4th and 1?

I was on the edge of my seat watching the game and the FF scores, both were exiting, lol. At 4th and 1, with so little time on the clock, I was certain they were going to go for the tie. From a football perspective, that would have been the smart thing to do. When I saw the offense lining up, I just knew they (and I) were going to lose.

@South Park. Rookie of the year hehehe. He saved my team for this week.

I am not quite certain why the Bills’ coach decided for them to chase the 4th and 1 or the touchdown instead of the field goal and the overtime.

Personally I liked the decision to go for it, at that point it did not seemed as if either D could make a stop, so in that instance the chance of winning was 50% if they went for the FG, so if they thought they had a bigger than 66% chance of making the first down or scoring on the next play then it was worth to go for it.

What I did not like was the call, a QB sneak was not a bad call in itself but they did not used the goal line personal which reduced their chances of getting the first down, plus Allen slipped which did not help either, this is similar to what we saw in SB 49 when the Seahawks threw the ball on second down while needing only one yard to score, not a bad decision in itself, but the call and execution of the call were terrible.

BTW did you saw the attempt at recreating the Music City Miracle? The renewed interest in enforcing taunting rules is ridiculous but if someone deserved to have that penalty called on them it was Vrabel, that was outright trolling, not that I dislike it.

I think a more significant stat was that by that point Bills were (IIRC) 2 of 4 in the red zone in that specific game, against that specific defense. But I guess they had some analytics thingamajingy telling them they have a 3% higher chance to win by going for it.

Have no clue what my team will look like after this trade.

League 2 - up 30+ with T.Bass vs. Allen and Diggs

Not sure how i pulled this off but i got two wins, pure luck! I mean how often do you see Allen and the Bills being stopped on a 4th and 1?

I'm heading towards Week 7 BYE-pocalypse with 6 players on bye, 2 on IR, and 2 listed as Questionable. Lol this should be fun. Lips sealed

Yeah I'm with you. Darvin cook bye and my 2 starting writing with a bye. This is a rough week for me too. One of those weeks where I'm not rooting on my guys but just rooting against the other teams guys

Injury bug hasn't hit me too hard yet, I still got decent starters to put up there. Gonna be a tight week.

They got cocky. There was no reason to YOLO that one. Kick it (more fpts for Bass LOL) and live to fight another 10 minutes.

I'm glad it was over in regulation, i couldn't watch another 10min of T. Bass trying to hold off Allen and Diggs with FGs. This was certainly not for the faint-hearted.

J. Allen has rushed 14 times on 4th down and 1 in his career, he was stopped once on a botched snap in 2019 vs. the Jets

YOLO is Dan Campbell going on 4th down and short in his own half in the 1Q. Cheesy

Najee Harris will save his bet and my fantasy team hehe.

And he is the one crushing me.

A 15 point differential is not impossible to overcome but since our remaining players are all in the same team it is going to be difficult for the cows to overcome such a huge deficit unless some specific circumstances happen, so anyway congrats on the likely win.

And as if my luck could not get any worse Hunt gets injured the first time I play him and will be out 4 to 6 weeks.

Lemon in beer, especially Mexican beer is common but not oranges in beer.

It appears that putting oranges and orange peel is common for Belgian beer. I might try this with friends next time hehehe.

https://beerandbrewing.com/orange-appeal/

In any case , who are your candidates for rookie of the year? Top 3 among football experts are Jamarr Chase, Micah Parsons and Najee Harris. Sometimes Mac Jones is mentioned.

Blue Moon always advertises their beer in conjunction with oranges. It’s like limes with Corona, they just go perfectly together.

Rookie of the year, hmmm.. Ja’Marr Chase is certainly up there. Najee Harris as well.
