**SKIP KRUMPIN / WEDNESDAY WIRE** — Week 8 has a new smell: a nine-dollar receiver, a five-dollar kicker, and a team with a zero in the win column facing a lineup built out of Mahomes, Bijan and Burrow. Waivers cleared October 28\. Nobody has played a Week 8 snap yet.

## The auction room

Dat's It spent $7 on Jakobi Meyers while DGAD offered $2\. That is a five-dollar cushion, not a bidding war. EzMoney paid $5 for Cam Little against two $0 offers; the kicker position apparently came with express shipping. The defense auctions were tighter: EzMoney won New England for $3 on waiver priority over GolfNut's matching $3, while GolfNut took Cincinnati for $5 on priority over EzMoney's $5\. Losing offers in these cards are the ones Yahoo actually displays; the separate transactions feed lists other pickups without a visible bid breakdown.

The largest transaction was not one of those seven multi-bid cards: DGAD paid **$9 for Keon Coleman**, with no competing offer shown on the visible FAB Offers page. DGAD also spent $2 on Makai Lemon and $3 on Antonio Williams, replacing Godwin and Noel in a receiver-room renovation. Dat's It added Ja'Kobi Lane for $3 as well as Meyers for $7\. Ghost of Twomp took Chig Okonkwo for $2; GolfNut paid $5 for Cincinnati; My Team Sucks! added Elijah Mitchell for $0; and 4th and INCHES, King James and Haters Gonna Hate made $0 defense/kicker swaps. These are separate awarded transactions, not imaginary losing bids.

## Other Wednesday claims

Not every award came with a bidding war. These six transactions had no multiple-bid card in Yahoo FAB Offers; the amounts below come from the awarded transactions feed, not invented runner-up offers.

![All six awarded Week 8 waiver transactions without multiple bids visible on Yahoo FAB Offers](https://krumpin.jbhobby.com/content/images/2026/10/krumpin-w8-no-multiple-bids.png)

Other awarded claims: add, bid and drop. These claims had no multi-bid offer card; that does not prove no other manager wanted the player.

## Week 8, seven doors

Each score below is the highest Week 8 projection achievable using players already on that team's roster: one player per legal starting slot, with bye/inactive players excluded. A missing playable starter remains zero. This is an **optimal-lineup estimate**, not the current Yahoo team projection or a prediction of the lineup the owner will actually submit.

King James 137.83 vs Dat's It 121.88\. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.

**King James (5-2) vs Dat's It (3-4).** King James can fill the defense slot with the newly claimed Commanders, but the best legal combination still favors the 5–2 side. Dat's It gets a real lift from Jakobi Meyers and Ladd McConkey, not a free pass for leaving them benched.

4th and INCHES 150.90 vs EzMoney 124.26\. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.

**4th and INCHES (4-3) vs EzMoney (4-3).** EzMoney has Cam Little and the Patriots defense on the bench after buying both. Putting them in, plus Trevor Lawrence and James Cook, cuts the ugliness; George Kittle is unavailable and the team still has no playable tight end from this roster.

Ball Don't Lie 136.33 vs GolfNut 133.05\. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.

**Ball Don't Lie (3-4) vs GolfNut (6-1).** Ball Don't Lie flips the raw-lineup forecast by moving Tyler Higbee, Omarion Hampton and Rachaad White into the optimal mix. GolfNut is still within striking distance; a bench optimization is not a Sunday result.

![BNF 77.54 vs Dan's Deepball 125.23. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.](https://krumpin.jbhobby.com/content/images/2026/10/krumpin-w8-optimal-matchup-04.png)

BNF 77.54 vs Dan's Deepball 125.23\. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.

**BNF (0-7) vs Dan's Deepball (2-5).** BNF can improve with Downs, Johnston and Rashee Rice, but has no playable Week 8 QB on this roster. Dan's Deepball does not need a miracle from Mahomes, Bijan and Burrow to protect this margin. [Yahoo matchup](https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/723314/matchup?week=8&mid1=4&mid2=14&ref=krumpin.jbhobby.com).

![DGAD 127.48 vs Haters Gonna Hate 129.11. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.](https://krumpin.jbhobby.com/content/images/2026/10/krumpin-w8-optimal-matchup-05.png)

DGAD 127.48 vs Haters Gonna Hate 129.11\. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.

**DGAD (3-4) vs Haters Gonna Hate (7-0).** The undefeated Haters get a narrow modeled edge after moving Tuten, Jonah Coleman and the new kicker Tyler Bass into the best slots. Brock Purdy is on bye; Fernando Mendoza contributes only 0.09 projected points in the optimized QB chair. DGAD's Love/Warren swaps keep it close.

![Ghost of Twomp 126.41 vs Kittle Corn 137.34. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.](https://krumpin.jbhobby.com/content/images/2026/10/krumpin-w8-optimal-matchup-06.png)

Ghost of Twomp 126.41 vs Kittle Corn 137.34\. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.

**Ghost of Twomp (3-4) vs Kittle Corn (3-4).** Kittle Corn can deploy its current group without a mathematical improvement. Ghost of Twomp squeezes a little more from Chig Okonkwo, but the Darnold–Jefferson trade has made the other side the stronger projected roster. [Yahoo matchup](https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/723314/matchup?week=8&mid1=8&mid2=13&ref=krumpin.jbhobby.com).

![My Team Sucks! 143.22 vs Tony's Terrific Team 112.55. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.](https://krumpin.jbhobby.com/content/images/2026/10/krumpin-w8-optimal-matchup-07.png)

My Team Sucks! 143.22 vs Tony's Terrific Team 112.55\. Maximum legal roster projections, not current submitted-lineup totals.

**My Team Sucks! (4-3) vs Tony's Terrific Team (2-5).** My Team Sucks! uses the Egbuka and Seahawks bench options to widen the gap. Tony can improve slightly with Keenan Allen but has no playable kicker on this roster. Maye and Herbert remain the centerpiece of the favorite. [Yahoo matchup](https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/723314/matchup?week=8&mid1=11&mid2=12&ref=krumpin.jbhobby.com).

The room has time to choose actual lineups before kickoff. These are ceilings for the players already rostered, not a claim that every owner will submit the best one.
