It is apparent that Mundi does not want to get chopped with money sitting in his pocket ---

I should have figured that would happen: prices get jacked up by close to elimination teams. The interesting question is how long will that continue? ---

As long as the close-to-elimination teams have money, I’d assume. But yeah, I didn’t expect Jordan Love to go for $300+. ---

Looking like it might be yours truly on the chopping block today. ---

I was on the block all week long, and it looks like I’m going to finish with a pretty respectful total by the end of it. I worry this is going to lull me into complacency, thinking the Yahoo prediction isn’t actually all-knowing. ---

Looks like 2 injuries will determine the team that gets chopped thos week, with @Spiritus_Mundi losing both James Connor and CeeDee Lamb early in their games. ---

Yeah - survived losing Burrow early last week, but losing two starters today has doomed me. Love choosing today to revert to form didn’t help either. This is a fun concept, though. I am curious to see how it looks near the end. ---

I don’t like at all how often someone is going to be eliminated due to a player being injured early on, but I suppose there’s not much we can do about it unfortunately. ---

I’m not out of the woods yet, but DJ Moore getting that touchdown looks to have given me some breathing room. ---

It’s going to be another exciting MNF for our sacrificial lambs. @Spiritus_Mundi is sweating the hardest needing LaPorta to outscore Monty by at least 4 points. If Monty falls flat @AlsoNamedBort will be getting the closest of shaves. @Railer13 has an outside chance of getting overtaken if both LaPorta and Monty blow up huge and Amon-Ra lays an egg, but that would be an extreme outcome. There’s a non-zero chance that @SenorBeef could get sent packing if the entire Detroit offense goes buck wild and a vanishingly small chance that I could get the axe if Lamar puts up a zero and the Lions win by 5 scores. But barring injury I should be safe. ---

And that Monty TD changes things dramatically. Bort leapfrogs Railer and while neither Amon-Ra or LaPorta have done much, the Ravens are forcing Goff into a lot of check downs. Railer should be getting a little nervous. ---

Hard to whine too much when you put up 54 points for the week. But, yeah - injuries hit me hard. ---

Is there no trading in this league? When I try to pick a player to make an offer, I get a popup saying I’m over the allowed number of trades. ---

Yes - no trades allowed. That’s the default. I don’t even think I can turn it on.
