what is faab fantasy football

FAAB stands for Free Agent Auction Budget, and it is a waiver system used in fantasy football leagues to acquire players not already on a teams roster. In traditional waiver systems, priority is given to teams based on their current standings, with the last-place team having the first pick. However, FAAB provides all managers with an equal opportunity to bid on available players through a blind auction process. Each team is given a virtual budget at the beginning of the season, which they can use to bid on free agents throughout the year. The system awards a player from the waiver wire based on the highest bidder. Managers organize those bids based on preference, and the system awards the free agents to the highest bidders. FAAB strategy involves having a budget for the season and bidding on players. The FAAB waiver system requires a little more strategy as managers have to figure out how to keep their money lasting throughout the year as they continue adding players.
