Free agents are players who can be freely added to your team immediately without any delay or grace period. When viewing the available players in your league, a free agent is denoted by the plus icon to the left of their rank, photo, and name. You can also press on a player's name to view their player card, and you'll see an option to add them there:. Free agency gives you a chance to potentially upgrade your team for whatever reason.

But adding players via free agency is not always an option. This is because of a waiver period. Waivers give your league a balanced and fair approach when it comes to adding players.
