Reverse order of standings for waivers is such horseshit. So your team sucks? Here is the best waiver player, every single week! Fuck that shit.

I dunno I like it vs auction. don't think the best record team should be getting them.
Auction forces you to make smart decisions. When to pick someone up on waivers and how much to spend. People who make the right decisions wind up with stronger teams. Seems pretty fair to me.
I like the auction system in an auction league. In a draft league, I like rolling waiver order starting with reverse order of draft. I do not care much for the reset to reverse order of standings each week.
With the exception of "and how much to spend", the same can be said for any waiver system. The auction is just one more level of difficulty. . And in my humble opinion, another way for experienced players to gain an advantage over the newer ones. . Which is fine, but I prefer as even as a playing field as possible. Which is why I prefer the reverse order of standings. A smart fantasy owner is grabbing those guys off the wire, after the waiver period, a week or more before they become the hot pickup of the week.

Why shouldn't experienced players have the edge though? Fantasy football already has a pretty substantial luck factor, and for that reason I will always prefer baseball. Waiver claims are one area where you can tip the scales toward the skill side with a fair system.

How do you know they will be a hot pickup before the week they are? Usually players that have a good game are hot targets after that game.
The thing about reverse order that sucks the most, you never get those adds off dumb drops. It's not the "hot" pickup that I care about. It's the guy that sprained his ankle, or broke his finger that gets cut but will be back with a Vengence in a couple weeks. You never get those unless your team is sucking.
I love sitting on the top spot in leagues that don't readjust weekly. You know somebody is eventually going to trade you a good starter for the worst player on your roster. (How I look at waivers. A team that will trade you anything for anything at anytime.) Baseball more than football.
