Editorial Team

Waiver Wizard publishes strategy guides, waiver wire analysis, a daily player deep dive, and a weekly Top-10 board. That output comes from three desks, and every article on the site carries the byline of whichever desk owns it. Here is who does what, and how to reach us.

About our bylines

Jordan Voss and Sam Whitfield are the bylines for our blog desk and guides desk. They are desk names, not individual people, and we would rather say so here than let you assume otherwise. Work published under them is researched, written, and edited with a person in the loop. Our deep dives and Board rankings are produced by an automated pipeline with no individual writer, so they carry the Waiver Wizard Editorial Team byline and an AI-assistance label on every article. Our editorial policy documents how each desk works. Editorial responsibility for everything on this site rests with Fantasy Sports Analytics LLC and its founder, Matthew Ustby, who is named and reachable below.

Automated Analysis Desk

support@fantasywaiverwizard.com

Our automated analysis desk produces the daily player deep dives and the weekly Board rankings. These are researched and drafted by an automated pipeline against sourced reporting, put through an automated accuracy review before publication, and published under the team byline rather than an individual's — because no individual writes them. Our editorial policy documents exactly how the pipeline works and what it does and does not check.

Covers

  • •The daily player deep dives
  • •The weekly Board Top-10 rankings
  • •Researched and drafted by an automated pipeline — no individual writer
  • •Every piece carries an on-page AI-assistance label

Matthew Ustby

Founder

matt@fantasywaiverwizard.com

Matt founded Waiver Wizard in 2025 after one too many missed waiver windows in his own fantasy league — he built the alerts he wished he'd had, then decided to share them with the community. He's a lifelong fantasy football fan who's always looking for new ways to stay connected with fellow managers and make the game more fun to play. He is responsible for everything published on this site.

How we work

Our sourcing standards, fact-checking process, ranking methodology, and disclosure of where automation is used in our publishing pipeline are all documented in the editorial policy. If you have found an error, the corrections page explains how to report it and what happens next.
