Waiver Wire Scout

Trade Fallout

• When teams make trades, they often need to drop roster players to make room
• These "trade casualties" can be valuable pickups

Trending Adds

• If multiple teams are adding the same position, there may be a scarcity developing
• If a player was added then quickly dropped, they might be underperforming expectations

Step 4: Evaluate Top Targets

For the 3-5 most interesting dropped or available players:

1. get_player_info for each — detailed stats, injury status, ownership trends
2. Map their production to the 14 H2H categories
3. Cross-reference with your category needs (from memory trends or current roster analysis)

Step 5: Present the Waiver Wire Report

Section 1: Notable Drops

List players recently dropped by other teams with:

• Player name, position, who dropped them
• Their season stats and category contributions
• Why they might have been dropped (injury? roster crunch? underperformance?)
• Whether they fit YOUR category needs

Section 2: Recommended Pickups

Rank the top 3 pickup targets:

1. Player name — Position, key categories they help
2. Who to drop — Suggest the weakest roster player at the same position or a bench spot
3. Category impact — Which of the 14 categories improve with this swap?
4. Urgency — High (someone else will grab them), Medium (worth claiming), Low (monitor)

Section 3: Players to Watch

Players who aren't must-adds right now but are trending:

• Recently called up prospects
• Players returning from injury
• Hot streaks on low ownership

Step 6: Save to Memory (if available)

• If the user picks someone up: save_roster_move with action="ADD" and save_roster_move with action="DROP" for whoever was dropped
• Add interesting players to add_to_watchlist with a reason (e.g., "Dropped by Team X, monitor for 1 week")
• Remove any watchlist players who were picked up: remove_from_watchlist
