Sleeper Waiver Wire and FAAB Helper
Waivers are where seasons are quietly won. The waiver helper reads your Sleeper league, ranks the free-agent pool for your roster specifically, and suggests a FAAB bid range with the reasoning spelled out. And it keeps the receipts: every claim your league has ever made, graded by the points the player actually went on to produce.

How the waiver helper works
Open the Waivers tab and we pull your league's transaction history and current free-agent pool from the Sleeper API. Targets are ranked by what each player would actually add to your roster, using your league's scoring and your real starting slots, so a plug-and-play starter for your thin position outranks a name-brand backup you would never start.
FAAB bids with the reasoning shown
A bid suggestion you cannot interrogate is just a number. Every suggested range comes with its reasoning: how much the player improves your lineup, the schedule and bye coverage around them, and how aggressive your remaining budget and your contention picture let you be. Leagues on waiver priority get the same analysis framed around whether a player is worth spending your claim.
The receipts: every claim graded
Every waiver claim and free-agent pickup in your league's history is graded on what the player actually scored after the move, from Jackpot down to Bust. It is the same evidence-first standard our trade grading holds trades to: not what a move looked like at the time, what it produced. The league summary adds it up per manager, and it settles who really owns the wire.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the waiver helper free?
- Yes. Waiver targets, bid suggestions, and the graded claim history are free and do not require an account. Enter your Sleeper username and pick a league.
- Does it work with both FAAB and waiver priority leagues?
- Yes. FAAB leagues get suggested bid ranges sized against your remaining budget; leagues that use waiver priority get advice framed around whether a player is worth your claim spot.
- How are pickup targets ranked?
- By impact on your specific roster: projected production under your league's scoring and whether the player beats what you already start at the position, not a one-size-fits-all ranking.
- What do the waiver grades mean?
- Past claims are graded from Jackpot to Bust by the fantasy points the player produced for the claiming team after the pickup, so the grade reflects what actually happened, not the hype at the time.
