Who should I claim, how much FAAB should I bid, and who should I drop?
AVRA reads the available-player pool, your scoring rules, your positional depth, the FAAB you have left, and how your league-mates have bid. Then AVRA names the player to claim, the bid to place, and the bench player to drop. Connect Sleeper or ESPN so the answer comes from your league instead of a national waiver list.

What waiver wire pickups should I make this week
AVRA starts with the players still available in your league and compares them with the weak spots on your roster. A running back with usable bye-week coverage matters more to a team thin at the position than to one already stacked. AVRA weighs your scoring format, bench depth, upcoming lineup needs, and league-mates' rosters before naming the claim and the bench player to drop.
How much FAAB should I bid
AVRA suggests a specific number, not a range. The bid is calibrated to your league's FAAB pool size and to how your league-mates have actually bid in past weeks, so it is set for your league, not a national average. Bid too low and a rival scoops the add; bid too high and the budget is gone for the players who show up in Week 12. AVRA's number accounts for both, and shows the bench player to drop to open the roster spot.
What is FAAB and why does the bid amount matter
FAAB stands for Free Agent Acquisition Budget: the season-long pool most leagues give each manager to bid on waiver-wire players, in place of a priority-order claim system. Every bid spends down that budget for good, so the number on a Week 4 flier competes directly with what is left for a Week 14 injury replacement. AVRA suggests a bid for every recommended add and treats the budget as a season-long resource, not a one-week decision. AVRA's waiver calls are part of the same 65.04% graded record covering 25,786 calls across the 2025 backtest, verified 18 of 18 weeks against the consensus rankings, full detail at tryavra.com/proof.
Does this work with my Sleeper league
Yes. AVRA supports Sleeper and ESPN leagues. Sleeper keeps drafts, lineups, trades, and waivers connected as they change. ESPN works for public and private leagues. Both connections are read-only: AVRA never makes a roster move, and every change is yours to make on your league platform. AVRA is free during open beta, with founders pricing locked in for early accounts at tryavra.com.
Need the start/sit call, a trade check, or draft-day help too? AVRA covers start/sit, trade analysis, and the live draft assistant, all synced to the same roster.
Frequently asked questions
How does AVRA decide which waiver pickup matters for my team?
AVRA reads your league's scoring rules, your current roster, and who else is already rostered in your league, then ranks available players against what your specific team needs, not a generic top-100 list. A pickup that fits a shallow bench differs by team, so two managers in the same league can get two different top calls in the same week.
Will AVRA tell me the exact FAAB number to bid, not just a range?
Yes. AVRA suggests one specific bid amount for every recommended add, calibrated to your league's total FAAB pool and to the bid history of your league-mates, along with the bench player to drop to make the roster move.
Does AVRA support dynasty and keeper leagues for waiver calls?
Yes. Waiver and FAAB recommendations run across redraft, dynasty, keeper, best-ball, superflex, and IDP formats, with the bid and the add adjusted to the format's scoring and roster rules.
When do new waiver pickups show up in AVRA?
Fresh waiver calls land Tuesday morning after Monday Night Football and refresh through Sunday morning kickoff, rebuilding as injuries, weather, and market game totals move during the week.
