Waiver Wire & Streamers
Who is worth a pickup. We take every skill player who projects to go undrafted or very late in a standard 12-team league and rank the pool by rest-of-season value: a blend of season-long VORP and upside. Switch to the streamer view for the per-position order, nudged by the next-window matchup, that matters most at QB and TE.
ℹThe season has not started, so this runs in preseason draft-and-stash mode: the pool is the deep tail of the board, not a live free-agent list. It flips to live weekly waivers once games are played. Numbers are directional, not out-of-sample validated as a waiver product. The underlying VORP and probability bands are the same Nova model shown on the rankings and research pages, applied here to the deep pool.
What do these terms mean?
Pickup score
Nova's blend of rest-of-season value and upside for an available player. Higher means a better add.
VORP ★
Value Over Replacement Player: projected points above a freely-available replacement at the same position. Nova's core measure of real value.
Tier-1 % ★
Nova's modeled probability he finishes as a tier-1 (elite) player at his position, from 5000 simulated seasons.
Ceiling (P90) ★
A high-end season outcome: only about 10 percent of simulated seasons finish above this. The upside number.
Streamer
A player you start for a single good matchup rather than roster long term (often QB, TE, or defense).
Early SOS
Strength of schedule over the early season (weeks 1-6).
★ = Nova’s own model, the secret sauce. The rest are the market reference and raw stats Nova is measured against.
⚠Preseason draft-and-stash mode. The season has not started, so there is no live waiver wire yet. This ranks the deep-sleeper pool: skill players who project to go undrafted or very late in a standard 12-team league (PPR ADP outside the top 130), by rest-of-season value. It flips to live weekly waiver mode once the season starts. Score blends season-long VORP with upside and is directional, not out-of-sample validated as a waiver product.
