What do you guys have for keeper rules?

My 12 year old league is looking to redo our keeper rules (because they suck), so looking for suggestions.

The rule in my league is you can have one keeper - anyone drafted after the fourth round that you kept all year on your roster can be your keeper at the cost of bumping up one round

So if I drafted a dude in the fifth round last year and kept him all year I could use my fourth round pick this year to keep him

In a league that I am in it is the round that you drafted them for a total of 3 years including the year they are first drafted, 1 per position, max of 3 keepers. FAs are keepers at the ADP for whatever site you like with similar rules for up to 3 years following the season they were picked up. I am not sure if this is anything exceptional, but it is the rules we have.

My keeper league rules are two keepers at the round they were drafted. Maximum of 2 years each.

Yea, it was fun. Was there some offsite chat room for it? It was kind of quiet, but maybe it was just a quiet crowd since it is just a mock. I am pretty happy with my team. The only pick I would take back would be Fournette, I forgot it was start 3 WR and I would have rather had a 5th WR, but you need to drop someone for waiver moves anyway and it was only $2 so whatever. While I have not been in an auction league for something like 10 years, when I was in an auction league I never did that well and in hindsight it felt like my biggest flaw was thinking that my strategy was unique - that I was the only person eyeing the last 3 RB in a tier or trying to save money until the end for sleepers when someone else is doing the same thing. It feels like the first and last player (draft order, not player ranking) in a tier is over priced, but you can potentially get good value with players in the middle since other people don't seem to bid up player X as much because player Y is still there, who then gets bid up because oh crap that is the last starting RB.

So glad you made it!

Yes the chat was in our Twitch stream. We don't like to link it here since everyone in TAQ was soooooo nice about us spamming our stuff when we were starting up 4 years ago. PM me and I'll gladly share it. Would love to have your insight there !

Who won?

Really, everyone won since it's a 10 team mock auction so everyone gets what they want. We ran the league through FBG rate my team at the end for shots and giggles and the team with the weird name ..ike plerg ferges ug or something "won"

We really loved all the teams though: iirc FBG gave you an A or an A minus

Auction league.

You get to keep (at $1 price) one player that you drafted last year for $15 or less, who remained on your team all year. This is very fun; both rewards drafting good sleepers and creates a hilarious bidding dynamic around the $15 range. People bid $16 just to spite someone out of a keeper.

In two different redraft leagues we do that you can keep a guy at the cost of a draft pick two rounds higher than they were drafted, and it goes 2 rounds higher every year. So for example in one league I drafted Antonio Gibson in the 7th last year so I can keep him for a 5th this year, then next year if I want to keep him again next year for a 3rd. In one league we keep one and in another we keep three. FA pickups can be kept for a 10th rounder and it follows the rules for going up in round cost every like just like draft picks. If someone cuts/drops a player and you pick him up you can keep for the round they were picked up in, so for example someone dropped D'Andre Swift after drafting him in the 6th so now after I picked him up I can keep him for a 4th.

Dodging vax question and the Steelers had been using the wristband system which ID'd him as unvaxxed. Steelers have been generally great about getting vaccinated as a team.

I hope vax info is available after training camps for fantasy drafts, would be dumb to avoid someone like Hopkins and grab someone you like less because you know for sure Hopkins is not vaccinated, but then it turns out the player you grab is unvaccinated also, they just were smart enough to not tweet about it. I do value unvaccinated players a little less since they will likely end up missing games due to secondary exposure that vaccinated players will not, but it is hard to tell how that will impact drafts at this point.

Also, in my 10 team SF keeper league I am seriously considering Harris for my first round pick, just because so many good players are kept and I pick 6th and there are only 5 players left I feel are worth a first round pick. The unknown seems better than a flawed known, even if not as safe.

I'm joining a Superflex 12 team redraft league this year and now I'm really curious how that draft is going to look. I think QBs will still be valued higher but less emphasis will be placed on younger guys. Maybe I'll actually be able to have a Stafford share this year after all.

The Chiefs line looks like a revelation so far. Not only young and healthy and dominant but loving huge. It's not just new people it's a whole new philosophy and I imagine CEH is going to reap the benefits. Unless he doesn't, of course.

Gibson was limited by turf toe last season. The injury appeared to bother him occasionally during minicamp and over the last five practices, though he insisted, “It’s been good. Just making sure I stay on top of it, treating it after practice. After the long days, it gets kind of sore, but other than that, I’m fine out there.”
