What is a waiver player and how can you use it for your Fantasy Football team?

NFL Fantasy Football features a function that allows league to discard the unwanted players of the NFL roster to free up space for new additions to their squads.

The cut player drops to a category called 'waivers', allowing the player to be claimed by other of your league prior to becoming free agents.

of the league are ordered into priority, so that if two try to claim the same player then the higher priority member wins the claim.

Priority can change depending on a variety of factors such as how well a member's team is performing in the standings, or how frequently a member has claimed from waivers.

How do waiver drafts work?

The process works like a college draft does.

Each member of the league can submit their waiver requests and then 24 hours before the deadline for the game-week, the waivers are processed through the priority ranking.

If nobody else has claimed a player that you're targeting, you will acquire them but if a member with greater priority also tried to claim them, then you will lose out.

Once the waivers have been claimed and processed the remaining, unselected players enter free agency.

Nobody can see who you have attempted to claim until the waivers have been processed, therefore you can't be unfairly targeted by other .
