Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Live By the Stream, Die By the Stream

I start us off with this, from the tWBS Memorial League. Thanks to having the last pick in the draft, I had 1st waiver priority and held onto it after the Week 1 slate. And what did I spend it on? This:

I streamed the Giants defense, which would have been great if it was only the 2nd half. But it obviously wasn’t, so they pulled for me a lovely negative 1, so I lose by 3 and change points.

Okay, news:

–KHunt replaces Chubb: That’s Kareem Hunt, being re-signed by The Pauls to replace Nick Chubb, who’s out for the year. (Chubb was officially put on the IR in the corresponding move.)

-Also on IR: PHI slot CB Avonte Maddux (torn pec), DET S C.J. Gardner-Johnson (torn pec), Bears OT Braxton Jones (neck), and presumably Qards DT Carlos Watkins (bicep). Not on the IR but sitting out a walkthrough, Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle)

-TRADE ALERT: Cam Akers: RAM IT—>Minnesota for 2026 draft swaps.

-After his remarks this past weekend, the Raiders put DE Chandler Jones on the non-football illness list. He will be there for four weeks, and if not moved afterwards, will be out for the year.

-In probably not good news, Bears QB Justin Fields blames overthinking about his coaching for his “robotic” play. Granted, there’s worse shit going down in Chi**** right now, with the defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigning and people talking about whether cops are involved for… reasons?

-In not trying to throw a fan under a bus news, the autopsy of the P*ts fan involved in a Sunday night fight revealed a “medical issue” may have been the culprit, rather than traumatic injury.
