About Waiver Pulse

What this is

Waiver Pulse takes a daily snapshot of how many ESPN fantasy football leagues roster and start each NFL player, and keeps every snapshot so week-by-week trends build up over the season.

Metrics

• Rostered %: share of ESPN leagues where the player is on a roster.
• Started %: share of ESPN leagues where he's in a starting lineup for the current scoring period. Players on bye show low start rates.
• Change: ESPN's own reported change in rostered %, in percentage points. ESPN does not document the exact window, so our own day-over-day history is the long-term record.
• Drop Panic: players rostered in at least 30% of leagues before the move, ranked by drop rate = points dropped ÷ previous rostered %.
