What is the STM waiver score?
A 0 to 100 number that ranks a player against every running back, receiver and tight end who played at least 20% of snaps in Week 9; 50 is average. It is 45% opportunity (the expected PPR points his carries and targets are worth, with credit when the starter ahead of him went down), 40% floor (his median PPR score over his last four team games) and 15% usage (his share of the team's targets and snaps). A score of 75 or more is a player to spend real waiver budget on; 65 is a claim; under 65 is a stash.
Who counts as a waiver wire pickup here?
Running backs, receivers and tight ends rostered in under 35% of leagues in the FantasyPros consensus (ESPN and Yahoo leagues together) on the Tuesday after Week 9, with the box scores through November 5 to 9, 2026. Quarterbacks and defenses are not on the board.
Other weeks
The STM waiver score ranks how much a player's role is worth from here. It weighs the looks he is getting (45%), what he has scored over his last four games (40%) and his share of the team's snaps and targets (15%), each against every skill player who played last week. Looks show up before points. Rostered % is the FantasyPros consensus of ESPN and Yahoo leagues on the Tuesday after Week 9 (ESPN alone when the consensus is unavailable). Opportunity prices each target and carry by depth and field position (nflverse expected points). The method was tested on the 2024 and 2025 seasons: the top ten by this score outscored the top ten by last week's points over the following three weeks. Players ruled out, on injured reserve or suspended are left off; questionable players keep 85% of their score.
