I play in a pretty laid back 10-team redraft, but recently found a glitch in the way waivers are processed each week. We have a continual rolling waiver priority, which means we blindly put in our weekly waiver picks, then come around 4am on Wednesday, the waivers run. Team with highest priority gets first choice, and so on, until all players that were chosen are gone. The folks that nobody put waiver picks in for are then turned into free agents.
The glitch is that around 30 minutes prior to waivers running, if you log on you can see all the players that owners put waiver claims in for, and all other players become free agents. So, say you wanted a specific streaming D (like CIN for this week). You can withdraw your waiver claim and get them for free if no other owner submits a claim.
Yes, I had a claim in for the CIN D this week, but at least one other owner did as well. I am not dropping to the bottom of the waiver priority list just for a D for 1 week, so I will have to let someone else grab them.
