Waiver Wire Priority Calculator

Calculate a composite waiver wire priority score to rank player pickups based on projected points, ownership, injury status, schedule strength, and positional scarcity.

Projected Points (next week)

Current Ownership % (0–100)

Ownership Trend % Change (–100 to +100)

Injury Risk (0 = Healthy, 1 = Questionable, 2 = Doubtful)

0 – Healthy 1 – Questionable 2 – Doubtful

Schedule Strength (1 = Easiest … 5 = Hardest)

Positional Scarcity Score (1 = Abundant … 5 = Very Scarce)

Rest-of-Season Projected Points

Calculate Priority Score Your waiver wire priority score will appear here.

// 1. Projected Points Score (0–30 pts weight) // Normalised: projPts / 40 * 30 (40 pts = elite ceiling) var projScore = Math.min(projPts / 40, 1) * 30;

// 2. Availability Score (0–20 pts weight) // Lower ownership = higher availability value // availScore = (1 - ownership/100) * 20 var availScore = (1 - ownership / 100) * 20;

// 3. Trend Score (0–15 pts weight) // Positive trend signals rising value; normalised over [-100, +100] // trendScore = ((trend + 100) / 200) * 15 var trendScore = ((trend + 100) / 200) * 15;

// 4. Injury Penalty (subtracted) // 0 = 0 penalty, 1 = 8 penalty, 2 = 18 penalty var injuryPenalty = injury === 0 ? 0 : injury === 1 ? 8 : 18;

// 5. Schedule Score (0–10 pts weight) // Easier schedule (lower number) = higher score // scheduleScore = ((6 - schedule) / 5) * 10 var scheduleScore = ((6 - schedule) / 5) * 10;

// 6. Scarcity Score (0–10 pts weight) // Higher scarcity = higher urgency // scarcityScore = ((scarcity - 1) / 4) * 10 var scarcityScore = ((scarcity - 1) / 4) * 10;

// 7. Rest-of-Season Score (0–15 pts weight) // Normalised: rosPts / 400 * 15 (400 pts = elite ROS ceiling) var rosScore = Math.min(rosPts / 400, 1) * 15;

#### Formula

Priority Score = ProjectedScore + AvailabilityScore + TrendScore + ROSScore + ScheduleScore + ScarcityScore − InjuryPenalty
