FAAB

Also known as: Free Agent Acquisition Budget

What does FAAB mean?

FAAB is a bidding system for the waiver wire. Each manager starts the season with a budget (usually $100) and bids on available players. Highest bid wins the player and spends that amount of budget. FAAB rewards managers who save for the right moment.
