FAAB stands for Free Agent Acquisition Budget, and it is a unique system utilized in fantasy football leagues to acquire players not already on a team’s roster. In a FAAB system, 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. Instead of being the first team to claim a free agent off the waiver wire, you bid on them with your budget. The highest bidder wins, and the winning bid is deducted from your budget. This system ensures fairness by eliminating the “waiver wire order” advantage for last-place teams, and every fantasy manager has an equal shot at landing the most sought-after players, promoting healthy competition and strategic planning.
