Below are proposed Keeper League rules for our league. Take a look before our Draft Tuesday, September 7th if you can. I will have copies for everyone at the Draft.
PROPOSED KEEPER LEAGUE RULES
EACH TEAM CAN KEEP FROM 0-2 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.
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.
A PLAYER CAN ONLY BE KEPT A MAXIMUM OF 3 CONSECUTIVE YEARS – This rule is there just to keep things interesting. **Last year counts as the first year keeping a player**
FOR EACH PLAYER THAT IS KEPT (AND WAS ORIGINALLY DRAFTED BY ANY 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 team’s 13th pick for the next 3 years. [Example: Quarterback Joe Flacco was drafted in the 16th round last year. If kept, this year he would account for the teams 14th round pick. If kept again, the following year he would be considered the 12th round pick. If this wasn't a Keeper League, Joe Flacco would probably be picked somewhere between rounds 4 & 6 this year.]
ANY PLAYER THAT WENT UNDRAFTED THE PREVIOUS YEAR, BUT IS BEING KEPT, WILL COUNT AS A TEAM’S 2ND 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: If LeSean McCoy was picked up off free agency last season by a team, & the league has 16 rounds in its draft, and the manager wishes to keep McCoy, he must give up his 15th round pick the following season.]
