The Waiver system gives everyone a fair chance to pick up the hot players each week... If 3 teams want to pick up say Mark Sanchez they would all make their add and the one with the lowest waiver number 1 through 12 would get him... Once he does pick up Sanchez his waiver number is re-set back to 12 and yours would move up one so your chances of getting the next player increases. Some leagues will reset this number each week 1-12 giving the lowest scoring team the number 1 waiver, but since we are playing for blood it does not re-set like this.
This is only for 2 days after completion of the weeks games... After that it's first come first serve. Also if you drop a player he goes on waivers for 2 days which gives everyone else in the league a fair chance to pick them up since they were not in the free agent pool before.
Can be a strategic move sometimes to keep your #1 waiver number and pick your players up after the waiver period (if it's someone no one else would be getting) in case something crazy happens like Barry Sanders un-retires...
See your waiver number on the right... If I wanted the same player you would get him.
BTW... who's that at the top...
