Waivers Timing
In guillotine leagues and maybe my regular league as well, waivers processing is locked into Tuesday night. I think Wednesday night would be better for all leagues, particularly guillotine, for the following reasons: 1) a lot happens on Wednesday in the NFL, like IR declarations, more detailed injury news. Having this information in advance of waiver claims, would surely change the actions of team owners. 2) Pushing back gives team owners 2 days to enter their moves, decreasing the number of times team owner unintentionally miss out on the opportunity to improve their team. People often can be busy with work or other commitments and completely miss the opportunity to enter moves on a Tuesday.3) Having an extra day to think through critical decisions would be good. In guillotine, team owners don't know what players will be available until waking up Tuesday morning. Decisions about what to spend on free agents can be time consuming and vital towards a team owners chances to win the league. 4) Too many decent quality free agents too often go to team owners on a first come first serve basis. The team owner who is most available on Wednesday afternoon soaks up the instantly valuable back ups whose value increases the second injury reports surface about star players.
