RosterWatch Week 16 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet Now Available

Building a championship-caliber fantasy roster requires basic weekly waiver-wire management. We’ve created the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet so that in a just a few minutes a week, our users can make the same expert waiver maneuvers we personally make in our own leagues, throughout the season.

Whether you play in a standard waiver-claim format, or in a free-agent bidding system – we’ve got you covered. Read the chart top to bottom, and use it like the Draft Cheat Sheet. It’s not mandatory to go after the very top pick up every single week – use some basic discretion. Insane value can be cultivated through the bottom of the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet over the course of the season.

All players listed on the WWCS are currently on the waiver wire in at least 50% of fantasy leagues across all major formats.

*Our advice is to recycle an average of 1-2 players per week from the bottom of your roster into hot waiver-wire pickups for the current week. This can be accomplished via waivers, or on the cheap as free-agent pickups post-waiver period .

    Need help at QB…I lost Kyler Murray and started Tannehill last week and was able to get through.

    My choices are:
    Mack Jones
    Dalton
    Minshew
    Mayfield
    Tannehill
    Russel Wilson
    Zach Wilson

    FYI, I have AJ Brown

    Thanks for help!

      Minshew has the most upside imo

    second round of playoffs some Qs

    1) should I continue with Trevor Lawrence (potential heavy rain and wind in in New York for game) or pick one of these
    Brady, Watson, Goff or Minshew

    2 Should I stick with the Philly D or go for The Browns (v. NO); the Bucs (v. Ari) or the titans (v. Hou) — broncos also available.

    thanks !
