Why was my waiver claim invalid?

Learn why you a team may have lost out on a player

Written by Sleeper HQ

When you're looking at the results of any processed waivers in your league chat, you have the ability to press on the bid amount to get a list of the submitted bids.

In some instances, you may see teams that had entered a higher bid but lost the claim. These teams will have "(Invalid)" listed next to them like in this claim:

There are a few different reasons as to why your bid would be deemed invalid:

  • You did not have enough FAAB

  • You did not have enough space on your roster because you won a previous bid, and you are not dropping a player on this bid

  • You tried to drop a player in this bid who you had already dropped in a previous successful bid. Even if you had an open roster spot to add the player, the bid would be unsuccessful because the dropped player has to be a part of it.
