Waivers before Week 1? (1 Viewer)

[flypro]

Just curious in how many leagues (mainly auction redraft) that the waiver wire opens before week 1. Since in an auction, an owner does not have to fill up a full roster is it fair to open the waiver wire before week 1 to allow them to supplement their roster?

My league doesn't allow them. Play your draft.

Just make the rule that you have to fill the roster. Must purchase a starting lineup and fill your roster. That is our rule. Then let waivers run if you want to.

yes/no

one does, the other (which drafted earlier) doesn't

I prefer that they do open

 

[whitem0nkey]

yeah.

we had our draft on Saturday.

on Wednesday at 6PM BB waivers cleared - no one did any moves

and now FCFS are open - 2 moves were made. so far.

Most drafts are held before the cuts to the final rooster. With the internet there are fewer surprises, but in the past I have seen teams kicker get cut. We allow for pickups in Week 0....I got James Davis.

we used to.. sometimes our auction is early in the preseason, I hawked Steve Smith, Deion Branch the years they broke before the season and after the auction.... the next year the league voted it closed until after week1
