Every single week, the lowest-scoring team across the entire league is instantly eliminated ("chopped"). The eliminated team’s complete roster is dumped onto waivers, triggering high-stakes Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB) bidding wars among surviving managers. Surviving the weekly cut line is everything!💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION:Who got chopped in your league this week? Are you bidding on Jahmyr Gibbs or holding your cash for November?
