Waiver & streaming
The wire is where leagues are won in the margins. This tool ranks the week's streamers by a schedule-aware blend of fit and games, finds the adds that patch your category holes, and — with a league synced — only shows players who are actually free on your wire.

A week on the wire
- Set the week
The week stepper starts at 1 — step it to the week you're planning (the date range shows beside it). Everything below is scoped to that week's schedule.
- Start with 'Best streamers this week'
Ranked by roster fit and games. Gms = games that week; in daily-lineup leagues you also get B2B (back-to-backs) and a light tag — games on a light NBA night (4 or fewer games leaguewide), prime streaming slots with little waiver competition. Helps shows the categories each player feeds.
- Then 'Best available fits'
Free agents ranked by how well they fill YOUR weak categories — roster- and punt-aware. Fit is fit to your needs; VOR is absolute value over replacement. A high-VOR player with a low Fit helps someone else's team.
- Chasing one category? Specialists
A card per category with the top five free agents for it — for the nights you need boards or dimes specifically, not just the biggest total.
- Pay for it from 'Drop candidates'
Your most replaceable spots by value over replacement, each with a reason line. The add is only half the move.
Daily vs weekly leagues read differently
The tool follows your league's lineup cadence. Daily-lineup leagues get the full schedule game — B2Bs, light nights, night-by-night slots. Weekly-lock leagues drop all of that and rank on fit and raw games, because with one locked lineup, volume is the lever. If the signals look off, check the cadence setting on your account — it may be marked "assumed".
- Every section has a Show stats toggle that expands the full per-game line and per-category value for each player — verify a streamer before you burn the claim.
- Planning a specific matchup? The matchup planner's streaming targets rank the same wire by how much each add moves your win odds against that opponent.
