Waiver wire trends

The most added and most dropped players over the last 24 hours — what managers actually did, not what a columnist thinks they should do.

Adds and drops by Sleeper managers over the last 24 hours. A proxy for where the market is moving, not a measurement of it, and not an ownership percentage — each number is a count of transactions, not a share of leagues. Captured 2026-08-20 02:42 UTC (as built).

How to read this board

A player near the top of most added is one that a large number of managers moved on within the same day. That usually means news — an injury ahead of him on the depth chart, a snap-count change, a breakout game. It does not automatically mean he is worth a claim in your league.

The board is a signal about attention, and attention is what sets the price of a waiver claim. If you are bidding FAAB, the players at the top of this list are the ones you will pay a premium for; the useful edge is usually one row further down, on a player with the same underlying reason and a fraction of the competition.

Most dropped is the half people skip and it is often the more actionable one. A player being dropped at scale in a shallow format is frequently still rostered in yours — and a player dropped for a bad reason is the cheapest buy-low there is.

What this is not

  • It is not an ownership percentage. Each number is a count of adds or drops inside a 24-hour window. A player can be near-universally rostered and never appear here.
  • It is not the whole market. These are Sleeper managers. It is a large and fantasy-native population, which makes it a good proxy, but it is not a measurement of what ESPN or Yahoo managers did.
  • It is not a recommendation. Nothing on this page knows your roster, your scoring, or your budget. Volume tells you what the market is doing; it cannot tell you whether you should.
  • It does not move our valuations. This feed is captured and displayed. It is deliberately not an input to any player value, price or verdict on this site.

Turning a trend into a decision

The gap between “this player is being added” and “you should add him” is the part that needs your league in it: your scoring, who is already on your roster, what the replacement actually costs you, and what you have left to spend.

Front Office connects your league and answers that question against your roster. While you are here, our keeper cost calculator is free and needs no account, our player values are public, and how we grade publishes our held-out results including the comparisons we lose.
