Trending adds show where the crowd is moving, not who is available in your league or who will produce. The pace column compares the last 24 hours of adds with the average day of the last 72 hours: Rising means today’s adds are at least 25% above that average, Cooling at least 25% below. “Next 3 wks” adds Sleeper’s projections for Weeks 7 to 9; bye weeks and weeks without a projection count as nothing, so a short total can just mean a bye. Quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends only (no kickers or defenses).

How to use this list
- Filter to players actually available in your league, then compare them with your bench in the start/sit tool.
- A high add count with no Week 7 projection often means a stash or a handcuff, not a starter. Check the injury report first.
- Thinking long term? Dynasty value is shown where we have one; the trade analyzer prices players and picks together.
- Want the whole trending list or who your league has not rostered? See trending adds and the waiver wire tool.
