2026 season · updated Wed, Oct 21 · from real waiver bids in 496 Sleeper FAAB leagues

Your league

Low: wins about half the time Suggested: wins about 7 in 10High: wins about 9 in 10

Prices hardly differ between 8 and 14 teams; your budget matters much more. Leagues with fewer than 8 or more than 16 teams are rare in our data: in small leagues you can usually bid lower, in very large ones expect more competition.

The most-added players on Sleeper in the last 48 hours, with what it takes to win them. Popular players cost more than their role suggests, so the bids come from the 5 most-bid players of past weeks (then places 6-20) in leagues of your size.

Typical: the median winning bid in all leagues. Contested: the median winning bid only in leagues where at least two managers bid - the better guide if you expect competition. Uncontested: nobody else bid, so even $0 won. Top 10%: in one league out of ten the winner paid at least this much.
