With all of the NFL’s 53-man rosters now set, a large number of players have hit the league’s waiver wire. Unlike veterans with four or more years of experience who can choose their next destinations, these young players have to wait out the waiver process before knowing where they might end up.
Early in the season, the waiver order is set based on the previous year’s records. Unlike some fantasy football leagues, the NFL’s waiver system allows teams to claim as many players as they want with the highest priority team getting any player they claim.
