How to read the bids

Why we give FAAB bids as a percentage of your budget

A $20 bid is a fifth of the budget in one league and a fiftieth of it in another, so a dollar amount on a page like this is only right for readers whose league happens to match it. A percentage of the season budget is right in every league. That is how the FAAB calculator works internally, and it is how every bid on this page is written.

Season budgets across 1598 synced leagues

  • $100 budget669 leagues, 42% of synced leagues
  • $1,000 budget558 leagues, 35% of synced leagues
  • $200 budget168 leagues, 11% of synced leagues
  • $300 budget78 leagues, 5% of synced leagues
  • Something else budget125 leagues, 8% of synced leagues

The most common budget, $100, covers 42% of these leagues. Any single dollar figure would be wrong for the rest.

One bid, 20% of budget, in 3 common leagues

  • $20in a $100 league
  • $200in a $1,000 league
  • $40in a $200 league

Same decision, same share of what you started with. Two more things to adjust for: if you have already spent some of your budget, a bid is a bigger share of what is left, so treat the range as a share of the full season budget. And bid a number that does not end in 0 or 5, because round numbers are where ties happen.

FAQ

Week 11 waiver questions, answered

Who is the top waiver wire add in week 11?

Omar Cooper Jr., the WR for NYJ, leads this board. 11 touches in week 9, +7 on his 4.0 average before it; on 85.7 percent of his team's snaps in week 9; projects for 10.8 points against LAC, 2.6 more than the last startable wide receiver in a standard league. The suggested bid is 26 to 70 percent of your season budget. Within each position the list is ordered by what a player adds over the last startable player there rather than by raw projected points, because ten points from a tight end and ten from a running back are not the same purchase.

How much FAAB should I bid in week 11?

Every player on this board carries a range as a percentage of your season budget, because budgets differ from league to league. The lower figure wins about 6 times in 10 and the higher about 9 in 10, read from what waiver claims have actually cleared at in redraft one-quarterback leagues synced to FF Beacon, and pulled toward each player's own price where he was claimed in weeks 10 and 11. It prices winning him, not what he is worth to your roster, so pay it only if he would start for you. The FAAB calculator works out that second part against your actual roster.

What does rostered percentage mean here?

The share of the real Sleeper leagues synced to FF Beacon that already have that player on a roster, rebuilt nightly. It is measured from 1580 leagues rather than published by a platform about itself. Those leagues are ones readers connected themselves, so they skew toward dynasty and they are not a random sample of Sleeper.

Why is a player I saw recommended elsewhere missing?

Two reasons account for nearly all of them. He is rostered in 70 percent or more of the leagues we track, so he is not really a waiver claim, or he projects below the last startable player at his position this week, which makes him a bench add rather than an upgrade. The board is ranked on what a player changes about a lineup, not on how much he was talked about on Sunday.

When do waivers process?

On Sleeper the default is Wednesday morning, and most leagues leave it there, so a claim entered any time from Tuesday runs overnight. Yahoo and ESPN both default to Wednesday too. Your league can change it, and a few run waivers daily, so check your own settings before you rely on a deadline.

Waivers close Tuesday night
