Intentional cycling of players through waivers is a serious offense and may result in a team being banned in Premium Standard Leagues. To learn more about the waivers process in your league, read the appropriate information section.
All players not on a fantasy roster reside on waivers following each week of play, remaining there from Tuesday morning until waivers begin to clear at 3 a. ET on Thursday. Due to the high volume of waiver claims at certain times of the season, it may take several hours for all waivers in all leagues to process. Released players reside on waivers for at least 48 hours before clearing waivers.
At the clearance time, the player is assigned to either a team if a claim was made or the free-agent pool if no claim was made.
Unclaimed players not acquired during the waiver period become free agents and may be picked up on a first-come, first-serve basis without affecting a team's waiver position. If multiple claims are submitted for a player, the claim is resolved based on the waiver position of each involved team. A team's waiver position is the relative power you have when selecting a player off of the waiver wire.
When more than one team requests a player in waivers, the player is awarded to the team with the best waiver position closer to 1. When a claim is resolved, the waiver position for the team that receives the player is changed to the lowest possible priority 10 , and all the other teams move up a position.
Waiver schedule Following each week of fantasy play, each team's waiver position in Standard Leagues is reconfigured according to the team's position in the standings -- the team with the worst record receives the best waiver position No. In the event of a tie -- identical won-lost records -- the team with the fewest fantasy points is given the better position closer to No.
In the event that two or more teams have identical records and fantasy points, points-against is used as the next tiebreaker. The teams with the most points-against gets the better waiver position. If none of these tiebreakers break the tie, a random drawing will be made to determine which team receives the higher waiver position.
Waivers process daily beginning at 3 a. ET, except for Monday and Tuesday, when waivers are not processed. Note that due to the high volume of waiver claims at certain times of the season, it may take several hours for all waivers in all leagues to process.
Also, during certain weeks of the NFL season, the first game of the week is played on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, affecting the waiver process. See Weekly Play for details. Waiver claims can be made at any time before the player clears waivers. Any player who is dropped within 48 hours of the week's first kickoff is not available to be added and will appear on waivers during the initial waiver run on the following Tuesday.
