At the end of every week in the NFL season, the fantasy football owners look forward to the waiver wire to enhance their teams. Most players being cut every week are subject to waivers, meaning the other teams will have the opportunity to claim those guys and add them to their rosters. However, there’s a lot more on how fantasy waiver wire works. 

What is a Waiver Wire?

The NFL waiver wire is a system in which all the NFL teams submit a claim for a player who was dropped by another team. On a 24-hour timeframe the waiver wire operates during which the teams can submit a claim following a player being waived the day prior.

So the waiver wire is a great way that order is recognized for teams to pick up available players after every week’s games or after a player is dropped. 

What happens when a player goes unclaimed?

On the waiver wire, when a player isn't claimed by anyone, he becomes a free agent. The fantasy owners use these free agents to replace injured players or someone who does not just play up to expectations.
