3.3. Keepers

3.3.1 Keeper Rules

Each owner may keep up to 4 players from their previous season’s roster. Owners may keep players drafted in the 3rd–21st rounds of last season's draft. Players drafted in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the previous draft may not be selected as a keeper. If you elect to keep any players, they will replace your draft pick for the round 2 above the value at which they were drafted.

For example, if you choose to keep a player drafted in the 3rd round of last season's draft, that player will count as your 1st round pick in this season's draft. If you choose to keep a player drafted in the 12th round of last season's draft, that player will take up your 10th round pick in this season's draft.

If you are electing to keep a player who was undrafted in the previous draft, he will count against your 10th round draft pick in the upcoming draft, unless you’re already keeping a player drafted in the 12th round in October 2022, in which case he’ll count against your 11th round pick. If you're choosing to keep a player who would count against a draft pick that you traded away during the previous season, that player will drop in value by one round.

For example, if you traded away your 3rd round pick and you would like to keep a player drafted in the 5th round in last season's draft, that keeper will count against your 4th round pick in this season's draft, and his value will adjust accordingly in next season's draft.

If you are electing to keep two players who were both drafted in the same round in the previous draft (you may have obtained one or more of such players through a trade or a waiver claim) and you have only one pick in the round they are valued at, the player with the higher ADP will count against your pick in the round one earlier than that player's original value.

For example, if you drafted a player in the 6th round in 2024 and traded for a player during the 2024-25 season who was also drafted in the 6th round, the player with the higher ADP between the two players will count against your 3rd round pick while the player with the lower ADP will count against your 4th round pick as usual.

3.3.2. How to Set Keepers

You can set your keepers in Fantrax by going to the sidebar on the left of the screen and hovering your mouse over "Team" and clicking "Keeper Admin." On the Fantrax app, you'll set your keepers by tapping your team icon in the lower left corner of the screen, tapping "Team" in the menu that pops up, and then tapping "Keeper Admin" in the next menu. Once you're in the Keeper Admin screen, place a checkmark next to any player you'd like to keep. After you've set your keepers, send a message to the Commissioner and/or Co-Commissioners notifying them that you've set your keepers. They will review your keepers to ensure that they adhere to the rules.
