Frequently Asked Questions
- When do Week 4 waivers process?
- Most leagues run waivers overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, after the last game of the week; Sleeper, ESPN and Yahoo each let the commissioner set the exact time and whether the league uses priority or a FAAB budget. Claims placed before the run are processed in priority (or bid) order; anyone left unclaimed becomes a free agent.
- What does 'rostered %' mean here?
- The share of ESPN and Yahoo leagues in which the player is on a roster, as reported by FantasyPros. A low number means he is probably available in your league; a jump week-over-week means managers everywhere are grabbing him.
- How much FAAB should I bid?
- Start with your remaining budget, roster need, and the alternatives available in your league. Check whether the opportunity lasts one game or several weeks. Consensus rank helps prioritize research, but it does not establish a player’s role or a specific FAAB bid.
