WaiverWire review
Fantasy football advice and games—not a tool for managing signed waivers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WaiverWire is a web-based fantasy football analytics and games platform for individual managers. It combines draft cheat sheets, weekly and rest-of-season rankings, projections, risk scores, and an AI Assistant Coach for start/sit, waiver and trade decisions. Users can connect league data from Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo or CBS for personalized advice, or take part in the Waiver Wire Exchange, Open Field and Earnings Season. It is aimed at fantasy players, not organizations handling signed waiver documents or records.
The free plan includes Waiver Wire Exchange, Open Field, Earnings Season, 300+ player cheat sheets and the 2026 Draft Guide. Pro costs $59 per year and adds an Assistant Coach for one connected league, 150 Coach questions per month, weekly rankings and projections, risk-adjusted player scores, recommendations and private Waiver Wire Exchange leagues. Edge costs $129 per year; it includes unlimited AI Coach questions and connected leagues, plus Edge Signals, Waiver War Room, Lineup Architect and show-your-work reasoning. The paid tiers build on fantasy advice and league play rather than document workflows.
Its league connections and fantasy-specific recommendations make it a fit for managers who want advice grounded in their league data, with games and cheat sheets available on the free plan. The key limitation is category fit: despite its name and waiver recommendations, WaiverWire is not waiver-signing or record-management software. Teams looking to collect signatures, route forms or maintain waiver records should choose a purpose-built waiver-form product instead. For fantasy football players, the choice is whether Pro's one-league coaching or Edge's unlimited leagues and added tools justify an annual subscription.
