funny, leagues have been operating for decades using the waiver process as is
to me, it's just people looking for a chance to jump in line
it accomplishes nothing else, it just changes who has an advantage and why
I don't know of a single league that uses a bidding system, not one, and I'm no fantasy novice and I've participated in many serious money leagues over the years

because the waiver process usually starts in reverse order of the draft, so that advantage for teams that draft late which is there for a good purpose has been taken away
after you use a waiver pick, you go to the bottom, there's already some incentive to use your picks wisely
to me, it's just a gimmick, nothing more and nothing less.
I don't see it as some "brainy" thing, it's just a "different" thing which is used in a minority (not majority) of leagues
I am fine w/ either waiver process. But yes, most "competitive leagues" use FAAB - NFFC being prime example.
It is the same argument on Auction vs Snake draft.
FAAB gives everyone equal shot at getting any free agent.
If starting RB goes down in week 4, you shouldn't be punished b/c you picked someone up in week 2 or 3 and are toward the bottom of the list.
I am fine w/ regular continual rolling list waivers - but mainly because we are "used to it" because that used to be what was done.

my final say on the matter, most leagues use the traditional waiver process
that in and by itself doesn't make it right, but that's the standard setting
when you lose a running back, the new system may help you or it may hurt you. It all depends on many other variables. The only thing it is is different. What week? did you spend your money already? how much money do others have?
In reality, there's really nothing you can control except to save money so you know you can win bids late in the season. With the traditional system, you can avoid using waivers and retain your (higher) waiver position which you're entitled too because you either drafted late and / or you didn't make waiver pickups. You have no such control in a constant bidding process.
Injuries suck, in life and in fantasy. Changing the waiver process won't change that.
I've beaten this topic long enough, I'm moving on

I like my spot. There are at least 6 guys I'd love to get and then I get to pick earlier coming back down
so the 4 doesn't do anything for me
I don't know but this has gone back & forth for too long.
I assume the original time we decided on...
I have until 8:30 pm est to begin preparations
Although I helped Huskygirl draft her first team this week, so that will help. I do expect y'all to be much tougher than my daughter's friends. She's in the money already
