RE: 2018 Steem Powered Fantasy Football Recap - Week 2
The waiver budget is also known as FAAB, free agent acquisition budget. Every Tuesday (or after the Monday night game sometime,) players go on the waiver wire. If you make a claim during Tuesday, you can place a bid of how much FAAB you want to use. Yesterday, I placed a bid on Geovani Bernard for $15, but was outbid. Therfore, I didn't get the player. On Wednesdays, all players are free agents and you can pick them up at anytime without using your FAAB. Once your FAAB is gone, you can't get players off the waiver wire, but can still pick them up Wednesday when they're free agents. Hopefully that makes sense?
Thanks @boatsports90, that makes sense. In my other league, the waiver wire is first come to those who have a higher waiver position, but not based on the waiver bid, so that's where I got confused. I guess my question now is, does not waiver position mean nothing in our league?
Yessir no problem! Waiver position is the tiebreaker if two or more people bid the same amount on a player, so the position definitely means less to us, but if there's a couple guys who use all their FAAB and try to claim a guy, then the position would be important again.
Thanks for the clarification. It was very helpful.
Absolutely! Glad I could help!
