Though some of us were schooled last year and are moderately familiar with the concept of picking up a player on the “waiver wire”; it is entirely possible that we have allowed our brains to be filled with much more useful terms and conjure an image of an 80’s style hair device. In a quick recap, when players have recently been dropped by teams, or those who were never drafted onto a fantasy team, they go into waiver status for one (or more) days. When they are in waiver status, other owners cannot immediately add them, duh, you have to be civilized and place a request via the waiver wire.
If you look at our league overview, the second column on the left lists each position on the waiver wire. Currently, Victorious Secrets has first dibs on the waivers right now. Once she uses her magic ticket, she goes heads to the back of the waiver line until it is her turn again.
Another scenario would be if Victorious Secrets decides to wait this week, and not blow her waiver load until she is sure. However, HGONGA (what’s up) has put in a request to take someone off the waivers. Since HGONGA is 2nd in line for waivers, and V.S. is not using theirs this week, HGONGA will be taking their pick and then heading to the back of the line. Thus, you should be strategically using waivers REGARDLESS of your position in the line!
This week’s site to check out is Fantasy Football Toolbox. Truth be told, FF Toolbox sounds like a characterization of the majority of these brosefs who wear Affliction gear, punch each other in the pecs, and fight over who gets the last dollop of hair gel. But, this is a really good resources for FF 101, 201 and graduate work that you may be interested in pursuing in the world of fantasy sports.
