Following the conclusion of the 2012 fantasy football season, it was time to set about on a quest to construct a system by which the year’s waiver wire additions could be compared objectively across positions. This system, which Bruno Boys Sean Morris created and dubbed the Waiver Value Index, is founded on the concept of determining the relative contribution of each player to the average owner’s fantasy success. The Index sets out to do this by valuing the performance and consistency of players during the weeks that the average owner was most likely to start them.
Through a relatively complex formula, the system gives each player waiver value on a scale from one to ten with the best pickup of the year scoring a ten. If you’d like to skip straight through to the waiver rankings feel free. If you’d like to read a more in-depth description of the system and my motivation behind designing it, check out the “Introduction” and “Inner Workings” sections.

In any given NFL week you can track everything from targets and touches to the number of snaps a player is on the field. No matter how much analysis you do, there is still an element of luck and uncertainty. The beautiful world of fantasy football is one where statistical analysis entwines with hunches and gut feelings to form a unified whole.
That said, the dissection of NFL data from week to week is what enables fantasy football players to maintain the appearance of control over their teams. Imaginary or otherwise, that sense of oversight is the lone aspect of the game lending an edge to skilled players.
The deduction of elaborate statistics and resulting speculation is widespread during the season but it always seems to die down afterward. A couple months into the offseason everything starts anew, but the perspective of the previous season is lost in the transition.
