If you are looking for a detailed breakdown on what FAAB is and how to use the waiver wire, check out last week’s introduction.

Being successful on the waiver wire or in FAAB is critical to success in a dynasty league. Knowing your league and league’s tendencies can set you up nicely as well.

It is probably good to first explain, what is FAAB or a waiver wire? FAAB is an acronym for Free Agent Acquisition Budget which is a way that you can add players to your team’s roster. Usually, FAAB runs once a week, and for a lot of leagues it is on Sunday nights.

Being able to decipher whether a player is legit or not is huge. Don’t overspend on small sample performances. Looking under the hood and being able to decipher what is real and what is not.

We also added a cut list this week of players it is a good idea to go ahead and cut. You will also get access to a ton of other great dynasty resources to help you win!
