There are some common reasons why a waiver pickup may not be processed. The 3 most likely reasons your claim failed are:
- A team manager with higher waiver priority entered a claim for the same player.
- The player you entered to drop is no longer on your team.
- The offer amount you entered was less than a competing offer from another team manager.
All managers in the league can check Waiver Report/Offers Report in your league to check the details on every waiver/FAB claim.
Please note: Recent Activities might not show the best timeline of each waiver claims/offer.
Under your team page -> Players -> Waiver Report or Offers Report:
Sometimes waivers are not processed for specific rule violations. These situations are less common and can sometimes be confusing for Fantasy Managers.
If a rule is violated, causing the waiver claim to not process correctly, you will see a blank entry in the recent activity, rather than the successful claim.
Some of the rule violations that could result in a waiver claim not processing are:
- Teams are not allowed to make claims if they have an ineligible player in the IR slot. If you have a healthy player in IR, the claim will not process.
- Some leagues enforce position limits. There may be a maximum number of players per position allowed. If the player being added would cause the team's roster to exceed a specific position limit, the claim will not process.
- Claims may not process if there are incoming players from pending trades. If a team has a pending trade that is imbalanced (2 players for 1, or 3 players for 2, etc.), the extra player in the trade may use up the roster slot required for the incoming waiver claim. The claim will be rejected to avoid exceeding the maximum roster size.
