Waiver Wire Guy
WEEK — · WAIVERS OPEN

Stop guessing what a waiver bid is worth.

Every site tells you who to add. Almost nobody tells you what to pay. I price each week's pickups like the blind auction they are, adjusted for your league size, your budget, and your record. Then on Wednesday I publish what they actually sold for.

Updated every Tuesday

FAAB Bid Calculator

Six questions about your league and your spot in it. The slip prints a bid sized to your situation, because "bid 15%" means nothing without context.

    How I price a bid

    House Rules

    Math, not vibes

    A bid is the chance a player matters, times what he's worth to the roster that needs him, discounted by weeks remaining. A handcuff in Week 12 is not a handcuff in Week 2.

    Your standing changes the math

    If you're 2-6, overpay for lottery tickets. Median outcomes don't save a lost season. If you're 7-1, hoard budget and pay up for insurance instead.

    Real clearing prices

    I recalibrate the ranges every week against reported winning bids from real leagues. The market report feeds the model. Most waiver advice never checks whether it was right.
