Frequently Asked Questions: Week 4 FAAB Bidding
Should I spend 100% of my remaining FAAB if a starting running back emerges?
Only if the back commands a durable three-down snap share and your roster requires an immediate RB2 starter to stay in the playoff hunt. Always keep a small credit reserve if your league requires minimum $1 bids for late-season defense or injury replacements.
What are $0 bid rules in competitive leagues?
Most default setups on Sleeper, Yahoo, and ESPN permit $0 bids. Use $0 claims on one-week defense streamers, kicker replacements, and deep bench stashes to protect your remaining budget.
