Keeper leagues allow Team Managers to keep players on their roster over multiple seasons without having to redraft them. Keepers are only available in League Manager leagues. Team Managers may select as few players or as many players as the league creator selected during league creation.
Keeper League formats involve fantasy teams getting to keep a handful of players from year-to-year. This maintains a fair amount of quality in the draft pool from year-to-year, however, from a gameplay perspective, it's very unsatisfying.
What are the best positions in a keeper league? In keeper leagues, wide receivers and running backs usually carry higher value because each team has to start two at each position.
A keeper league functions similarly to a redraft league, with the added twist of keeping a fixed amount of players on your team from season to season. With keeper leagues, fantasy managers gain multi-year benefits for their successful draft picks, while still avoiding significant penalties for their bad ones.
Selecting Keepers Click on "Edit Keepers" ... Edit Keepers on the Web. The Keepers page will display the Keeper selection lock time, your league's draft date (if scheduled), and the maximum number of Keepers allowed. Click on the box next to the player you wish to keep then click on Submit.
While Draft Pick Trades is on, a new "Draft Picks" section appears and you'll be able to select a draft pick from next season while selecting your desired players to trade. Each trade needs to have an equal number of items traded (like 2 draft picks for 2 draft picks).
