Editors note:

As we continue to navigate bye weeks, it's important to think through your use of the waiver wire. If you're in league with deep IDP rosters, you have to get creative. More shallow leagues, where viable starters are on the waiver wire? You can use the waiver wire as an extension of your bench and play matchups week to week. You can also benefit from leaguemates who have dropped players that should be on rosters in their attempt to cover bye week gaps from previous weeks.

My intention here is to cater to a wide variety of leagues every week. IDP leagues are like snowflakes, so if you have specific questions, jump into our subscriber Discord, find the IDP channel, and tag me with any questions you have.

Some of you play in leagues where all of these players are already owned, and some of you play in IDP leagues where only 3-4 players are rostered on each team, so the players listed below might not even be on your radar. Don't be afraid to reach out with specific questions.
