Football: replacement or stash?
Ask which available player can cover your bye or injury first, then compare the longer-term role. A backup with upside and a player you can start this week deserve different bids.
Waiver wire help
Fantasy waiver wire help for your next move.
The popular pickup is only useful if he fits your team. Connect your league and ask Guru who to add, who you can afford to drop and how the move fills your next lineup gap.
Start free. No card needed. Message allowances and tools depend on your plan.
Bring the context
Your team changes the answer.
The need you are filling
Separate an immediate starter, a short-term streamer and a longer-term stash. They solve different problems.
The player you give up
Judge the add and drop together. A useful pickup can still be the wrong move if it costs your only reliable backup.
Your budget and deadline
Include your remaining FAAB or waiver priority when you know it. Do not assume a missing imported setting is your league’s rule.
Work your wire, one roster spot at a time.
Daily sports: make each add count
For basketball, hockey and baseball, weigh games remaining, category needs and transaction limits. Check whether the pickup can enter your lineup before the next lock, and how much value the dropped player still provides.

No connected team yet?
Start with a general question in Guru. Connect your team when you want advice with your saved roster and league settings in view.
ESPN: NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL and MLB. Sleeper: NFL and NBA. Fantrax: NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB; its connection currently reads rosters and settings, not source matchups or standings. Private ESPN setup needs the Chrome extension on a computer.
Try these questions.
Replace the details with your situation when you ask Guru.
Who is available in my league to cover my weakest starting spot, and who would I drop?
I have this much FAAB left. Compare a cautious bid with a more aggressive bid and explain the tradeoff.
Give me a backup plan if my first waiver target is claimed.
Before you ask
Straight answers.
Are these players available in every fantasy league?
No. Availability depends on your league. Open your league’s Players tab to inspect its waiver options, and verify the latest availability on the platform that runs your league.
Can Guru help with FAAB bids?
You can ask Guru to weigh a bid against your roster need and remaining budget. Supply the current balance and rules if they are missing or out of date. A suggested bid cannot guarantee a successful claim.
Where do I submit my waiver claim?
For ESPN, Sleeper or Fantrax leagues, submit the claim on that platform. For a league hosted on Draft Guru, open the league and its Players tab. Confirm the deadline and any required drop before submitting.
Can I start for free?
Yes. Free includes Basic Guru AI with a monthly message allowance and one connected external league, kept until its season ends. Paid plans add messages and premium tools. See current plans and allowances.
