what is waiver wire fantasy football

In fantasy football, the waiver wire is a system that allows managers to pick up players who were not drafted or who have been dropped by other teams. When a player is dropped, they are placed on waivers for a certain period of time, during which all managers have a chance to make a claim on them. At the end of this period, all waiver claims are processed, and the manager with the highest waiver priority gets the player. The waiver priority is usually determined by the teams record, with the last-place team getting first dibs. If two or more managers make the same claim on a player, the league's predetermined waiver order is used to determine who gets the player. There are different types of waiver rules and waiver claim priorities that can be selected by the league's commissioner. The waiver wire is an important aspect of fantasy football, as it allows managers to improve their team throughout the season and potentially make up for poor draft choices.
