Keeper Rules

ORIGINAL RULES PAGE

1. Each team can keep from 0-3 players from their previous end-of-season roster – Depending on what players are left on your team at the end of the previous season, you may wish to “keep” none of your players.

2. Players drafted in the first 3 rounds of a draft can not be kept in the following season – This prevents the top tier of players from being kept and creating massively unfair teams. Due to rule 4 below, the first 2 rounds technically couldn’t be kept anyways.

3. A Player can only be kept a maximum of 3 consecutive times – This rule is there just to keep things interesting.

4. For each player that is kept (and was originally drafted by a team), that manager must give up a draft pick 2 picks higher than where the player was initially drafted the year before – This ensures that players that improve in talent each season are accounted for. If Frank Gore was drafted in the 13th round last year, you probably don’t want him counting for a teams 13th pick for the next 3 years. Once a player that was drafted hits the waiver wire, that player still holds the previous seasons draft spot for future keeper picks. This is to prevent teams from picking up IR guys off the waiver wire at the end of the season to use as an undrafted free agent keeper - See Tom Brady 2008

Example: Wide receiver Brandon Marshall was drafted in the 11th round last year. If kept, this year he would account for the teams 9th round pick. If kept again, the following year he would be considered the 7th round pick.

5. Any player that went undrafted the previous year, but is being kept, will count as a team’s 3rd to last draft pick – This rule is there to slightly reward good drafting, as keeping free agent pickups are a little pricier than last round draft picks.

Example: Marques Colston was picked up off free agency last season by a team. If the league has 15 rounds in its draft, and the manager wishes to keep Colston, he must give up his 12th round pick the following season (as opposed to a player drafted in the 15th round, who would only count for the 13th pick).

6. If you do not have a draft pick for a round to give up to keep a player, you must give up the next higher pick – This might happen if you trade away a draft pick during preseason or have 2 keepers that have the same draft status from the previous year. One tip to consider if you have 2 players vying for the same draft spot is to make sure the player most likely to be kept the next year is taken with the higher pick. This makes his keeper “price” cheaper for the next draft.

Example: You wish to keep two free agents that you picked up during last season. Because both of them would qualify for your 12th pick (in a 15 round draft), one must count as the 12th pick, but the other will have to be your 11th pick.

7. Draft to be Random Order Snake Draft – With all the first 3 round guys from the year before back available, top talent will be available for all to pick from. This will also prevent last place team from tanking the season to get a good draft spot. Yahoo will determine the order by the random generator they do before drafts.

8 (Optional). If your league wants to, you can trade picks in the draft before the draft begins (or even during the draft if your commissioner allows it) – This would allow you to trade a combination of players/picks to another manager to address certain team needs you might have.

Rosters
Roster to include the following:
QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF
6 Bench Players

Yearly Draft
Each year, we will have a 15 round draft, following the keeper rules listed above. We will try to have the draft as close to the start of the season as possible, to allow for NFL Depth Charts to be close to final, and any injuries should be known for the upcoming season. I will ask for all Keepers to be sent in a week before the draft, that way we can post a list of the keepers for people that cant make the draft to set their rankings.

If you guys have someone not returning, let me know I am interested.

put me down on a waitlist as well.

How do you guys keep track of all of this, btw?
Curious now.

Yahoo league and just make a yearly post with the information

I wish you could keep more than 3.. ugh. sending Julio, McFadden back

keeping

James Jones - WR
AJ Green - WR
Danny Amendola - WR

I'll waitlist too

The penguins will be keeping Colin Kaepernick QB

So, anyone I drafted in the top 3 rounds last year I can't keep, is that right?

If so, then I'll keep Spiller and Seattle

Seeing that your draft is this Thursday, when will those of us wait listed know when we are in or not?

We would need to get into the league, look over our team and decide who we would want to keep if any.

Mtwasik wrote:So, anyone I drafted in the top 3 rounds last year I can't keep, is that right?

Top 3 rounds go back, each keeper is drafted 2 rounds earlier, players kept twice automatically go into pool

also, once the last spot is accepted, will get the draft randomizer email sent, and enter keepers into yahoo league

everyone should have gotten this email:

Hello,
Holmey has used the FFToolbox.com random draft order generator for the "NDL - Fantasy Keeper League" league. To verify the results visit this page: http://www.fftoolbox.com/draft_order_ge ... m?id=81117

And the draft gods laugh at me yet again lol, I haven't drafted higher than 6 for like 3 years in every league I've been in.

Holmey felt bad so he gave me last pick

NCSUholmey wrote:Top 3 rounds go back, each keeper is drafted 2 rounds earlier, players kept twice automatically go into pool

For keepers, aren't you allowed to keep them 3 times?
Nevermind, Holmey told me over AIM that the rule was edited so you can only keep a guy 2 times in a row now.



Also, for last years draft, instead of looking round by round, this may be easier:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com ... lastseason

It shows each team and where their players were drafted.


Also, I will keep:
Matthew Stafford (2011: 8, 2012:6) - He should be my 4th round pick this season.

Team Awesome has 3 Keepers:
WR Josh Gordon drafted 15th Rnd LY
WR Antonio Brown drafted 12th Rnd LY
QB Andrew Luck drafted 11th Rnd LY

Warhawks Keep 2

Randall Cobb RD 13
Kyle Rudolph RD 15

I have Doc's keepers in and spoke with footballkelly (check PMs) so moving forward all keepers are set and draft ready at 9

Great playoff game Doc.
I was watching the game last night as I had Forte, Bennett and then Dallas' D going.

You won 118.60 to 118.30!
Damn Dallas's D screwed me with -3 points.
