No matter what day or time you chose as a commissioner, someone always has a conflict.
If we start at 7pm, you should be done in time for the 8:30 draft. I’m actually in the same boat!
If necessary, In the final round or two you can always select 8-10 players and go on auto select and it will draft from your selected list for your final pick.
As long as everyone doesn’t use their full allotted time for ever selection, you shouldn’t have an issue!

I might have to autodraft as I forgot I had a previous commitment. Some of my favorite teams have come from autodrafting.

OK!! We have a 12 team league and a couple of waitlist guys if we need it.
My rule as commissioner is straight forward…ALL buy ins MUST be in the day BEFORE the draft. I’m not interested in chasing anyone down, so if I don’t have your buy in by Tuesday night I’ll make the slot available to next man up.
After my other board draft this afternoon, I’ll set up the league in Yahoo and get invites out. I’ll also share payment instructions.
Here is who I have at this point
1. Odell 2. Gmen0820 3. 3Days 4. Kase1 5. SG88 6. TEM 7. Blue Buddha 8. StompUout 9. BronxBomberBlue 10. Mike the Giants fan 11. Topgunchefx 12. PennState1
Please respond with your commitment, email address and team name so I can set up the league and send you invites from yahoo. This will be fun!

League has been set up. Two invites sent already. I'll send the others as I get a PM from each of you with your email address. Once everyone is set up, I'll share the payment options. When everyone is paid up, we can discuss any rule changes we want to make prior to the draft on Wed night.

Yep, whoever is on your roster is an eligible keeper at the round they were drafted in the prior year. Undrafted guys count as a last round pick. Thanks! What designates a player to be put on IR? Is it based on yahoo labels or some other source? How long can you keep someone on IR? Can suspended players be put on IR? I believe it is Yahoo labels for injury. Not suspended players. But I’m not sure if that’s a setting to enable. I would strongly suggest not being able to put suspended on IR, and that’s how it’s set up in the Yahoo money leagues I play in. I believe that once a player is ruled “OUT” he can be put on IR. This frees up a spot for you to pick up another player. And I’m working off memory, but I believe that once the player is back, you can continue to leave him on IR, with the caveat being that in order to reactivate or start him, you need to make room to put him back on the bench.

Did we ever set how many keepers and what it means to the next draft? Asking as I set strategy We have not yet, but after reading up on keeper leagues quite a bit I’m thinking 2 or 3. I just received confirmations from Gmen0820 (who has keeper experience) and Odell will serve as co-commissioners for our league. The three of us will get together to review settings and vote on changes prior to the draft. Basic settings are already done in the league app. You can review them there and I’m happy to take any feedback, questions, suggestions. Right now I’m just trying to get everyone signed up, teams set up in Yahoo and payments in.

Here is an interesting article on playing in a keeper league for the first time
Logistics The most critical thing about starting a keeper league is making sure you have active league-mates. If you get frustrated with inactive league members in your redraft league, those players are not fit for keeper leagues. Don’t invite them! I’m serious! Inactive league members ruin the league for everyone else. I’m guessing that if you’re reading this article, you probably have an active league with friends and family. Reach out to your league mates to gauge interest in a keeper league. If only eight of 12 league members want to do a keeper league, start a keeper league with only those eight people! It is more fun to play in a smaller league with active managers than to play in a 12-person league with a few league-mates that don’t participate. Plan in advance. If you have an active redraft league that’s converting to keeper, get the ball rolling in the spring. You’ll want to vote on league rules and make sure everyone has a clear understanding of the settings at least a few weeks before the draft.
If you are converting a redraft league to a keeper league, it’s best to do it in two stages over the course of a year. If your league just voted and approved a keeper league in the spring of 2021, I recommend implementing it in 2022. That allows league members to draft this summer with keeper eligibility in mind. Then, keepers can be selected in 2022 using the 2021 draft and rosters as the basis. The reason why I think it’s important to wait is that draft strategy changes when you are accounting for future keeper value. For example, I take more fliers on rookies and sophomores in keeper drafts than I would in redraft leagues – especially in the double-digit rounds. If I have the opportunity to pick between Trevor Lawrence and Matthew Stafford in the 12th round, I would be more likely to lean Lawrence in keeper because he has more upside in the future. While Stafford’s expected production should be higher this year, the QB position is easy to replace and it’s in the realm of possibilities that Lawrence becomes a great value if you can keep him in the 11th next year. Low risk, high upside.
Typically, fantasy managers can keep 1-3 players in keeper formats. This is always based on your roster from last year. My league has a trade deadline at Thanksgiving, but it opens back up after the fantasy playoffs. As far as the number of keepers to select… I think the perfect number of keepers is two. If you’re keeping more than 4 players, you might as well be playing dynasty. Cost tied to ADP
Some fantasy players prefer to tie keepers to this year’s ADP. So for example, you can keep two players in the round where they are being ranked (by The Fantasy Footballers, ESPN, Sleeper, etc) heading into 2021. This doesn’t provide managers with much of an advantage, but it lets everyone lock in their “my guys”.
Straight up Keeper Another way to play keeper is to ignore draft cost and allow fantasy managers to keep their best players overall. So if your league has two keepers, you would treat your draft as if everyone’s keepers made up the first and second round of the draft. Cost tied to Prior Year Draft Cost My favorite way to play keeper is to tie keeper cost to prior year draft cost. This is my favorite way to do it. Oftentimes, there is a one or two-round penalty to keep a player. For example, if you drafted J.K. Dobbins in the 5th round last year, he is eligible to be kept in the 4th round this year. The reason why I like tying keeper value to draft cost is that it gives you a lot of options beyond just keeping the best overall player. For example, I’d rather keep J.K. Dobbins in the 4th round than keep Alvin Kamara at pick 1.05.
There are a few details that your league will need to vote on if you go with the approach where keepers are tied to prior year draft cost, I prefer to make it so that prior year first-round picks CANNOT be kept. This allows the elite talent to refresh so that you don’t end up with super lopsided leagues. Additionally, I prefer to establish a limit for the latest that a player can be kept. In my league, we have it set up so that the latest a player can be kept in the 9th round…unless the fantasy manager drafted a player beyond that AND kept them on their roster all season. That allows managers to shoot their shot late in the draft and be rewarded if they’re right. You will also have to vote on how to treat players that went undrafted but were scooped up off waivers mid-season.
In keeper leagues where player draft cost is tied to prior year draft cost… I recommend implementing a limit on how long you can keep a player. In my main league, we have a two-year limit (year 1: draft, year 2: keep at 1 round discount, year 3: keep at 1 round discount again, year 4: no longer eligible to be kept). This ensures that players are cycled back into the draft pool and available to everyone, which mitigates the risk that you have a super top-heavy league. Otherwise, the person who drafted someone like Justin Jefferson in the 12th round in 2021 would be able to keep him for virtually his whole career at an incredible value.
Keeper Deadline Regardless of the type of keeper league you’re in, it’s important that your league votes on when to set the keeper deadline. I’ve heard everything from keeper deadlines before the NFL draft (talk about introducing chaos) to the day of the draft. My league has a deadline one week before the actual draft in August/September. We even have a caveat that if your keeper gets injured in that week leading up to the draft, you have the option to select a different player and there is an additional one-round penalty. The Fantasy Footballers’ Preferred Keeper Settings
I love it when we hear Andy, Mike, and Jason talk about the leagues that they’re in. So, I reached out to Andy and asked for the details on their infamous keeper league, which is referenced on the show occasionally. Here are The Fantasy Footballers’ preferred keeper league settings: • QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, Flex, Flex, DEF • ½-PPR • Format: derivation of Straight Up Keeper. • Each manager can select one franchise player. The manager is guaranteed to keep this player. • Each manager selects three additional keeper options, which go into a lottery system. These three keepers CANNOT match the position of the franchise player. • The league gets together for the lottery, where one of the three keeper options is randomly selected for each team. This player then gets spit back into the pool of draftable players. • Each team enters the fantasy draft with a total of three keepers. • Keeper deadline: Keepers must be submitted before the final pick of the NFL draft. • A completely hypothetical example that did NOT happen to Andy this year: Kelce was selected as the franchise player. Mahomes, Jefferson, and Hopkins were selected as the three keepers for the lottery system. Jefferson was selected and booted during the lottery process. This person (NOT Andy) is now entering the 2021 season with Mahomes/Kelce/Hopkins.
I run 2 keeper leagues: 1) Snake draft. —Each player may keep up to 3 players each year. —The player cost is 3 rounds higher than they were drafted the previous year. —Any player drafted in the first 3 rounds may not be kept —Waiver/Free agent pick-ups may be kept at the cost of your 1st round pick. —A player drafted in the first 3 rounds may not be kept even from the FA pool 2) Auction draft $200 budget —May keep up to 3 players each year —Player cost rises by $5 per year they have been kept – cumulative ——-First year +$5, next year +$10 more, third year +$15 more, etc. —total keeper cost for all three players may not exceed $100 —FA/WW keeper cost = average of the top 10 players at that position in the draft (WR and RB) +$5 or top 5 players (QB and TE) + $5 Michael Maynor July 12, 2022 at 11:07 am Our league is keeper league and I have a problem. It’s a full ppr league and I am not sure if I should keep Justin Jefferson or Austin Ekler. I was wondering what you guys think? Thanks, Mike Jason October 28, 2021 at 6:43 pm What do you guys do with players that have dual designation in this format? What if someone franchises a TE/WR? Or they Franchise a TE, can they add the TE/WR to their 3man pool? justinwalters June 14, 2021 at 1:29 pm My keeper league is 2 keepers 3 years max. Can’t keep guys drafted in rounds 1-3. year 1 you lose round drafted, 2nd year 3 rounds and 3rd year 6 rounds from the original draft spot. Lastly you cannot keep a guy if he falls into rounds 1-3 by being kept for multiple years. So guys kept in rounds 4-6 can only be kept for a maximum of 1 year. I think this creates balance, rewards teams for making good picks later in the draft and makes managers “manage” their team. timo_schindler June 1, 2021 at 10:41 am What about the draft order in the season after the initial draft with keepers? Are the ballers completely randomizing it or does it depend on where you finished? rangdangdoo May 30, 2021 at 6:39 pm My main keeper league allows 4 keepers and is a straight up keeper league with no limit to how long you can keep someone. My $ league decided to start doing one keeper, is tied to last year’s draft cost, and you can only keep the player two years after his rookie season. A good friend of mine does an auction keeper league. I’ve never done one but it sounds interesting Jim May 30, 2021 at 5:04 pm Our league does auction draft with $115. A player is eligible to be kept if they were drafted for less than $15. You can choose to keep that player for $15 the next season, $20 the second season, and then $25 the third season. The player goes back into the pool following the third season of being kept. The increasing price tag makes it a decision about value each season. It has worked well!

Not sure how to set up a poll here, but I was in a keeper league many years ago, where we were allowed to carryover ten (10) players, with an option of keeping an 11th player but you would have to give up your 1st round pick to do so.
It made future drafts highly focused on rookies from the recent draft.
And believe it or not, a weak team could turn things around from one season to the next.

What do you guys want to commit in year one as the buy-in? Can we all commit to drafting on Tuesday or Wednesday evening? I'm down for whatever buy-in-wise I'd prefer to do Wednesday, the only other league I'm in is doing their draft Tuesday at 8:30pm on Yahoo For some reason I can’t send you a PM. Can you try sending me one? I need your email address to send you the invite to join the league. We need u buddy! You are the last one!
