WaiVER CLaiM

Three weeks in, some records look real and some look like traps. We grade the Week 3 Pick'Em board through Sunday night, then turn five Sunday storylines into Week 4 tests: can the 3-0 Raiders survive Kansas City, are the 3-0 49ers legit against Denver, what do Jaguars-Bengals tell us about twodivision calls, how much trouble are the 0-3 Chargers in at Seattle, and what do the Rams have for Ph...

Week 2 was chaos. Three different games had unanimous straight-up picks from the entire WaiVER CLaiM Pick’Em field — and all three lost. We grade the complete Week 2 board, figure out what actually went wrong, and turn toward Week 3 with MILO’s newly updated model opening lines. Then the room digs into Falcons-Packers, Chargers-Bills, Raiders-Saints, Seahawks-Commanders and Ravens-Cowboys before R...

Rich, Craig, Alberto, and Don sort out what was actually real from Week 1 and what was just opening-week nonsense. We look ahead to Raiders-Chargers, Vikings-Bears, Lions-Bills, Browns-Buccaneers, and Steelers-Patriots, while putting the through-Sunday WaiVER CLaiM Pick'Em receipts on the board. Rich also locks his Week 2 fantasy board: Bulls Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans; Cucks Cam Ward and R...

The NFL is back, and before Week 1 kicks off we're putting the whole season on the board. Rich and MILO lock six season-long calls - including Super Bowl picks, the biggest 2026 riser and faller, and three direct disagreements on Chicago, Jacksonville, and Cincinnati. Then we hit the Week 1 games we actually care about: Patriots-Seahawks, 49ers-Rams in Melbourne, Bills-Texans, Commanders-Eagle...

Two segments, no filler. We put the whole crew in a live redraft mock and made everybody defend every pick out loud, then handed the room three dynasty trades with no consensus answer. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: a live redraft mock draft with the full room — every pick explained, every reach called out, and nobody gets to quietly take the guy they like. [POST-DRAFT: name the three or four biggest...

Every August the same machine runs. A guy makes a play, the clip goes viral, and by Thursday he's a breakout candidate. Cutdown day is August 30. Some of these guys won't have a team. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: MILO puts training camp hype on trial — Aaron Donald's comeback to a Rams defense that was already fourth in DVOA, Haynes King going from undrafted QB3 to Hall of Fame Game hero...

For a decade the rule was simple: never pay running backs. This week three teams broke it in forty-eight hours — and the guy who actually led the NFL in rushing is still on a bargain deal. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: Bijan Robinson reset the running back market on August 4th. Jonathan Taylor got his on the morning of the 6th. Jahmyr Gibbs took the record back nine hours later. We break down every n...

You told us who won our dynasty draft. MILO disagreed with almost all of you — then picked a winner not one person voted for. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: the full recap of our 12-team, 264-pick keeper-league startup. Every room defends its board — Bijan Robinson at 1.01, Ja'Marr Chase at 1.02, Ashton Jeanty, Josh Allen in the second round, and a Travis Hunter flier. Then The Claim: MILO's A...

Part 2 of our full dynasty startup draft — rounds [12–22], including the Lamar Jackson steal and the late-round value that broke the board. We ran a complete 12-team dynasty startup draft — 264 picks — and gave the whole room access to a free spreadsheet that ranks every player and flags when the experts actually agree and when it's a coin flip. One drafter ran his entire board off it. Everyon...

Part 1 of our full dynasty startup draft — rounds 1-10 of 22. We ran a complete 12-team dynasty startup draft — 264 picks — and gave the whole room access to a free spreadsheet that ranks every player and flags when the experts actually agree and when it's a coin flip. One drafter ran his entire board off it. Everyone else trusted their gut. Next week, the AI grades all twelve boards — you can...

Christian McCaffrey is a Peloton with 12,000 miles on it, priced like it's still in the box. MILO said it. The crew had to rule on it. This week on WaiVER CLaiM, the crew opens with the contract-year pressure cooker: George Pickens franchise-tagged in Dallas with the July 15 deadline bearing down, Kyler Murray betting on himself at the veteran minimum in Minnesota, and Jonathan Taylor and Bake...

The offseason had winners. It had losers. And it had Alberto, whose 32-team standings board contained 16 wins that didn’t exist. This week on WaiVER CLaiM, MILO hands out process grades — not win projections, but verdicts on the decisions. The Jets aced the offseason and MILO’s model still projects them under six wins. The Bengals got Joe Burrow comparing this team to his undefeated 2019 LSU squad...

Four weeks. Eight divisions. All 32 teams. Now MILO puts it together — a full pick-by-pick 2026 season, a complete playoff bracket, and a champion. This week on WaiVER CLaiM the whole crew locks their playoff fields on the record, then defends them when the model pushes back. MILO's single-simulation board is built to start fights: the Giants as the NFC's No. 1 seed behind a Year 2 Jaxson...

Eight teams. Two divisions. One AI verdict engine. MILO ran the full 2026 data on every AFC East and NFC East team — and the calls hit different when Patrick Mahomes is rehabbing an ACL and Drake Maye just went to the Super Bowl in Year 2. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: We break down the Bills' window with DJ Moore finally giving Josh Allen a real WR1, whether the Patriots are already a legitimate...

Eight teams. Two divisions. One AI verdict engine. MILO ran the full 2026 data on every AFC North and NFC North team -- and the calls hit different when Lamar Jackson missed the playoffs last year and Aaron Rodgers is playing his last season at age 42. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: We break down the Ravens bounce-back case (11.3 projected wins, 63% division odds), a Bengals defense that finally got r...

Eight teams. Two divisions. One AI verdict engine. MILO ran the full 2026 data on every AFC South and NFC South team -- and the calls are colder than the market expects. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: We break down the AFC South coin flip (Jacksonville at 42.8% vs. Houston at 39.1%), a genuinely wide-open NFC South where all four teams finished within one win of each other last year, and the schedule...

Eight teams. Two divisions. Zero consensus. MILO ran the numbers on the entire West before a single snap -- and theresults are colder than the market expects. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: We break down every AFC and NFC West team with projected win totals, division placement, and the key narrative driving each outlook. The AFC West is a three-horse race with the biggest injury question mark in theco...

The 2026 NFL schedule just dropped and the AI has opinions. Baltimore's first six opponents had a combined .369 winning percentage last year. MILO is projecting a franchise-record start for the Ravens — and the crew is pushing back hard. This week on WaiVER CLaiM: We break down who won the schedule draw and who got punished. The Chicago Bears are defending NFC North champs facing the hardest s...

The draft is done. Now find out who actually fits. We start with the QB situations nobody's pricing in — Pittsburgh's Aaron Rodgers waiting game and what it means for Drew Allar, Carson Beck's case for a Week 1 start in Arizona, and what the Jets are actually building while Cade Klubnik watches Geno Smith play with his toys. Then MILO — our in-house AI — grades five rookie landing spot...

The draft is over. Now someone has to pay for it. We break down the veterans whose fantasy value just got torched — and the rookies doing the damage. Then MILO returns with five bold buy/sell verdicts on this year's rookie class. Is Jeremiyah Love a top-5 lock or is Arizona's QB disaster the story nobody's pricing in? Is Carnell Tate a 2026 starter or a dynasty stash in a Daboll offense? The AI ha...

The 2026 NFL Draft is done and the receipts are out. The ​W​aiVER CLaiM crew goes pick by pick through Round 1, calling out every hit, every miss, and every "I told you so" moment. Someone finished on top of the mock draft leaderboard — and they will not let you forget it. Plus, the picks nobody saw coming: Carnell Tate to Tennessee at 4, Ty Simpson to the Rams at 13, and a Vikings pick that wasn'...

The 2026 NFL Draft is days away, and we're putting AI up against human instinct to see who called it. Meet MILO — Waiver Claim's AI draft analyst — making his debut with a full first-round mock. Rich, Craig, and Alberto have their own mocks too, and we're going pick by pick to see who had the nerve to get it right. Who do the Jets take at number two? Who's reaching? Who's getting robbed? Four mock...
