Mildred League Keeper Proposals

Proposal One
  • - How many keepers: 0-2
  • - Who’s eligible: 3rd or later draft round + waivers
  • - Draft cost for previously drafted players: last year’s draft round minus 1
  • - Draft cost for waiver claims: ADP minus 1
  • - Keeper deadline: Tuesday before fantasy playoffs start
  • - Waiver claims after the keeper deadline can't be kept
  • - Players on IR when the keeper deadline hits can't be kept, unless they're still on the team that drafted them
Proposal Two (the winner)
  • - How many keepers: 0-3
  • - Who’s eligible: any draft round + waivers, but can’t keep more than will fit in your starting roster (so can’t keep 2 QBs for example)
  • - Draft cost for previously drafted players: last year’s draft round for the first keep, ADP for the second keep (can’t keep a player more than twice, so three year limit)
  • - Draft cost for waiver claims: a late round (~10th-ish)
  • - Keeper deadline: same as the trade deadline
  • - Waiver claims after the keeper deadline can't be kept
  • - Players on IR when the keeper deadline hits can't be kept, unless they're still on the team that drafted them
Proposal Three
  • - Return to random draft order
  • - How many keepers: 0-1
  • - Who’s eligible: any player you drafted in the prior year (no waiver pickups)
  • - Draft cost: loser bracket will be repurposed. Instead of getting first pick:
  • --- winner of the loser bracket can keep their keeper in the last round of the draft.
  • --- champion from last year must keep their keeper with their first round pick.
  • - Draft cost for waiver claims: not allowed
Proposal Four
  • - By the Super Bowl, teams place one of their top 3 picks from the year into a protected pool
  • - Pool player must be modified the day before the draft if the player no longer has a top 200 ADP (a.k.a. they were seriously injured or retired in the offseason)
  • - Players in the pool can’t be selected until the final round of next year’s draft
  • - Final round of the draft is random order
