Waiver Overview

• Waivers process daily sometime between 3 am to 5am ET.

• Once that time has passed, they either clear waivers, meaning no one has claimed them, or they enter the free-agent pool.

• The unclaimed players can now be acquired on a first-come, first-serve basis, without affecting your team's waiver position.

• Players who are added and dropped within less than 24 hours will be placed as a Free Agent. A dropped player who was previously a part of a team for more than 24 hours will always be placed in waivers.

• Once a team is awarded a claim they get moved to the last possible position on the waiver order and everyone else moves up a slot, so if you didn't win your claim at least you're a one rung further up the ladder for next time.

• FAB waiver order is determined in the same fashion as non-FAB. If you make a waiver claim and win it, you get moved to the bottom of the waiver order list.

USING THE ESPN FANTASY APP

 Click on the Players page.  The default view will show the Top Three available players by position. Alternatively, you may search for a player.

Tap on the player you want. You will see a green "Add" button (or a yellow "Claim" button if still within the waivers period).

Select the player you would like to drop

Confirm the transaction. If the player is a Free Agent, the transaction will execute immediately and the new player will appear on your bench.  If you are claiming a player, you must wait for waivers to process.

If you have an empty spot on the bench but the player you are trying to add is on waivers, the fantasy app will ask you to optionally drop. Please note you do NOT have to drop someone to complete the waiver claim if the following message is shown:

ON ESPN.com FANTASY 

When on your My Team page, click on the Players tab, then select Add Players on the dropdown.

The default view shows ALL available players, sorted in descending order from the highest percentage rostered to least.

You can Search/Sort three additional ways:

1. By Position
2. Search Field
3. Filter by availability, Team, Health, Watchlist

To select a player, click on the "+" symbol in the Action column. If the player is a Free Agent (available immediately) the button will be green. If the player is on Waivers (must be claimed) then the button will be yellow.

You will now need to drop a player. To do so, simply click on the Drop button then click the Continue button (top right).

Confirm the transaction. If the player is a Free Agent, the transaction will execute immediately and the new player will appear on your bench.  If you are claiming a player, you must wait for waivers to process.

If you have an empty spot on the bench but the player you are trying to add is on waivers, the fantasy site will ask you to optionally drop. Please note you do NOT have to drop someone to complete the waiver claim if the following message is shown:

In the event that multiple claims are all submitted for a player, the claim will be awarded to the team with the most favorable waiver position, or in other words closest to "1". Once a team is awarded a claim they get moved to the last possible position on the waiver order and everyone else moves up a slot, so if you didn't win your claim at least you're a one rung further up the ladder for next time.
