The close of Week 3 of the 2017 NFL season is notable for one particular reason. The waiver wire order is now set based on reverse order of current record. The San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns, and Cincinnati Bengals are all tied atop the order, and after speaking with Field Yates, the determination this week on a claim would likely be via coin flip.
The 49ers held the No. 2 waiver priority the first three weeks of the season because it was based on the draft order. Week 4 is when that changes.
