Waiver claims in Yahoo Fantasy Football typically go through daily sometime between 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). During this time, waiver claims are processed in order of priority, and players either clear waivers if no claims are made or join the free-agent pool. Players who remain unclaimed after this period become available on a first-come, first-served basis for free-agent pickup. The claims process can sometimes take a bit longer to finalize, and the exact timing may vary slightly, but the general window is early morning hours between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. ET.
Additionally, in more traditional weekly waiver settings, un-rostered players are placed on waivers at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time each Sunday, with the claim period ending at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, after which waivers are processed.
Thus, waiver claims go through early Wednesday morning generally, or after the claim period ends if weekly settings are used.
