In fantasy football, waivers are a system that puts temporary freezes on unclaimed players, giving everyone a chance to make a claim on them. When this time period ends, all waiver claims are processed and the manager with the highest waiver priority gets the player. The leagues commissioner can pick which waiver rule and waiver claim priority is used from the "Edit League Settings" page of the "Commissioner" tab.

Here are some key features of waivers in fantasy football:

• Waiver Modes: There are different waiver modes available, such as weekly waivers, continuous waivers, and free agent acquisition budget (FAAB) waivers.

• Claim Priorities: Members of the league are ordered into priority, so that if two members try to claim the same player, the higher priority member wins the claim. Priority can change depending on a variety of factors such as how well a members team is performing in the standings, or how frequently a member has claimed from waivers.

• Waiver Drafts: The process works like a college draft does. Each member of the league can submit their waiver requests and then 24 hours before the deadline for the game-week, the waivers are processed through the priority ranking.

Once the waiver claims are made, players who were not claimed become "free agents" and can be added by any owner on a first-come, first-served basis up until players lock again when their next game kicks off. Waiver order and pool of players can reset each week.

It is important to note that different leagues may have different waiver rules and settings, so it is important to check the specific rules of your league.
