| Waiver Conditions | |
| NFL Player Status | On Waivers Until |
| Free Agents that have locked 5 minutes prior to scheduled start time | Wednesday 1:00:00 AM ET to 4:00:00 AM ET Wednesday morning. You can request players while games are in progress, but any player that is already on waivers or free agents whose game is within 5 minutes of the scheduled start time will be locked and unavailable until the first waivers run of the following week. The first waivers run will always be Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, so Wednesday is the earliest day you'd be awarded a player in any week. In addition, if a transaction is submitted including a player on your team that has locked for the week, that transaction will not be available to process until the player has unlocked for the next week. |
| Released during a waiver process | The next waiver process (usually 24 hours later, but see Waiver Schedule). Ex.: Manager requests Player A on waivers and drops Player B. During waiver process, manager is awarded Player A, and Player B is placed on waivers until the next waiver process. |
| Released during Free Agent Add/Drop | The second waiver process after the Add/Drop. Ex.: Manager drops a player Tuesday after 4 AM ET. The player dropped is on waivers until the waiver process that runs between 1:00:00 AM ET Thursday and 4:00:00 AM ET Thursday. |
