Waiver wire consists of any player dropped the previous<br \/>\nweek, with their salary and contract intact.The team with the worst record has first crack at him. All waiver wire moves should be made by 11:59 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>With free agency highest bid gets the player. tiebreaker is your team&#8217;s standing.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Remember, all<br \/>\nplayers picked up on through free agency are 1st years (L1)<\/p>\n<p>Here are instructions<br \/>\ninstructions for free agency bids are different:<br \/>\n1- under manage my team on the left go to &#8220;add player &#8211; FAAB bid&#8221;<br \/>\n2- from the next screen just choose &#8220;continue&#8221; DO NOT PICK A PLAYER TO<br \/>\nDROP (you have 24 hours after a successful bid to correct your roster).<br \/>\n3- select the player you want from the scroll down menu and choose &#8220;add<br \/>\nto list&#8221;<br \/>\n4- the player will appear below with a field to enter the salary you<br \/>\nwant to bid.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0enter the salary and hit &#8220;submit my bids&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0UNLESS you want<br \/>\nto place what we call a &#8220;tree bid&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0that is a bid on multiple players<br \/>\nbut you only want one.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0for instance if you want to pick up a bye week<br \/>\nfill-in kicker. you have to have a kicker that week so you might want to<br \/>\nbid on more than one in case there is a tie for the kicker you want, but<br \/>\nyou dont want to risk not having a kicker.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0you can bid on the top 5<br \/>\nkickers with one &#8220;tree bid&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Tree Bids<br \/>\n1 &#8211; follow steps 1-2 above<br \/>\n2- from the select a player scroll down list select the player you want<br \/>\nMOST and choose &#8220;add to list&#8221;.<br \/>\n3- DO NOT select submit bids, instead choose the player you want second<br \/>\nmost from the scroll down menu.<br \/>\n4- repeat as often as you want<br \/>\n5- enter the amounts you want to bid in the fields next tot he players<br \/>\nand choose &#8220;submit my bids&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The evaluator program will award players<br \/>\nstarting with the player you bid the most on.
