RosterWatch Week 5 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet and Podcast 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 .

      I think it would be fine to drop any of those guys for Waller if you’re intested in picking him up.

    I´ve got a question regarding the state of my dynasty team. It’s a 12-team. 0.5 PPR, 2QB. My current record is 2-1 (lost last week because of Gibbs and Andrews), will probably move to 3-1. Here’s the squad with no injuries/sus:

    QBs: Jayden Daniels, Patrick Mahomes
    RBs: Jonathan Taylor, JK Dobbins
    WRs: Nico Collins, Garret Wilson
    TE: Harold Fannin
    FLEXs: D’Andre Swift, Rashee Rice

    “Notable” bench guys: Nick Chubb, Keon Coleman, Jaylen Wright, David Njoku, Jalen Royals

    Picks: 2026 3rd, own all 1-3 thru 2027 and 2028

    My question is: What type of moves should I aim to complete at the moment? There’s a couple of squads who have mortgaged their future so they look stronger to win-now than I do. Should I stay put? What players should I target if not? Thanks!
