Hi everyone! I wanted to update the community about the project I’ve been working on. I am a student just about to graduate from computer science and I have been spending the last few months building a project to automatically pick up players from the Yahoo fantasy wire. No more 3AM wake-up calls to snag the best players for the next day’s games haha.
The last couple of months I have been building this tool alongside the r/fantasyfootball community. Each and every Tuesday, community members would help iterate the product and make it better. After lot’s of hours, I’m excited to announce that the tool is 100% operational, and I wanted to share it with the r/fantasyfootball community first. With the holidays around the corner, and people trying to make a final push for Fantasy Football victory, I thought this would be a great present to share :)
Thanks again everyone 🤠🍻

Hope it helps some people. I noticed in another thread that people were patiently waiting on Yahoo for waivers to clear.
Don’t use if your league considers it cheating.

What exactly does your algorithm do? How does it determine if a free agent is worth picking up?
Hey Davy! The service allows you to auto-pickup waiver wires as soon as Yahoo Fantasy opens their waivers. Normally, users will set alarms to wake-up around 3am-4am to pick up the best players for the next NFL Football Week. However, most users, and users I’ve learned from have told me this is extremely exhausting, it ruins people’s sleep schedules, relationships, etc. Therefore, you can make a selection you’d like, go to bed, and if that player is available we will auto-pickup the player without you losing a waiver wire claim. (Basically a free waiver claim).
