Keeper Guide

Each manager may keep one player from their prior season roster.

Draft room

Eligibility

Who Can Be Kept

  • Must have been on roster at end of regular season
  • Can be forfeited any time before the first pick of the draft
  • A player can only be kept a maximum of two times following the year they were added
  • Keepers must be declared no later than 24 hours prior to the draft

Draft Round Cost

If kept from a draft pick, the keeper costs that same round. If acquired mid-season (waiver/trade), the keeper costs their ADP round instead.

Once a player has been kept at their draft round, any subsequent keep must use their current ADP.

New Team Entry

Incoming managers may select one player from a departing owner's final roster on a first-come basis. Departing managers who later rejoin cannot keep from another vacant roster.
