How are waiver wire pickups ranked?
Candidates are ranked by this week's projected points after the highest-projected players are set aside as a stand-in for rostered ones. Rest-of-season is the weekly projection times the weeks left.
Week 1 Waiver Wire
These Week 1 numbers come from the Week 1 projection board. Shark Snip's own Week 1 projections aren't ready yet. PPR scoring. Generic FAAB %, adjust for league size.
This public board can't see your league's rosters. It hides the 50 highest-projected players as a stand-in for the ones most leagues have already rostered, so a player listed here may still be taken in yours.
Waiver wire process
Pickups are ranked by this week's projected points; rest-of-season is that projection times the weeks left. FAAB is a generic percentage scaled from the top pickup's projection: treat it as a starting range and adjust for your roster need and how aggressive your league is.
