Yahoo Fantasy Football waivers typically go through daily between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). During this time frame, the system processes all waiver claims, determining whether a player is claimed by a team based on waiver priority. If a player is not claimed, they become a free agent and can be picked up on a first-come, first-serve basis without affecting waiver priority. The process may have some variability in exact timing, with some instances of waivers taking longer to clear, but the general window remains early morning ET. Unclaimed players after the waiver period become free agents immediately after the processing is complete, usually by Thursday morning during the NFL season. If your league uses different waiver rules, such as "Game Time" waivers, players go on waivers as soon as their first game of the week starts, with claims processed similarly at early morning times around Tuesday or the relevant league schedule. In summary:
- Waivers process daily between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. ET.
- Players not claimed become free agents post-processing.
- Timing may vary slightly, but this window is standard for Yahoo Fantasy Football waivers.
