Everyone on this page is still available in most leagues — rostered in under 50% of ESPN’s public leagues, with that percentage printed on every row so you can check it against your own. They are ranked by how far our 2026 model puts them above replacement at their position, which is the question a waiver claim actually asks: is he better than what you would drop? Every projection keeps updating as 2026 games are played.
Connect a league and this board is measured in your scoring, against your league’s replacement level — the same numbers rankings and start/sit show for the same player. It is not filtered against your roster, though: it ranks the whole pool, so players you already own can appear on it.

We don’t grade matchup difficulty — what a defence has allowed barely predicts what it allows next, so we show the number and let you weigh it.
