Yahoo Fantasy Football waivers are typically processed once daily, between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). After this time frame, players either clear waivers (if unclaimed) or join the free-agent pool. Unclaimed players can then be picked up on a first-come, first-served basis without affecting a team's waiver priority. The exact processing time can vary slightly and occasionally run later, but generally occurs during this early morning window.
In Yahoo leagues, the waiver process timing also depends on league settings, but the common default is for waivers to run early Wednesday morning, shortly after 3 a.m. ET.
To summarize:
- Waivers process once daily between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. ET.
- After processing, unclaimed players become free agents.
- Processing time may vary slightly, sometimes delayed by a few hours.
- Common default processing day is Wednesday morning in many Yahoo leagues.
This information should help with planning waiver claims in Yahoo Fantasy.
