League Constitution

Keeper Rules
League Structure
Transactions

RULE 1 Number of Keepers & Duration

  • Each manager can keep up to 2 players per season — 0, 1, or 2 is fine.
  • A player can be kept for up to 2 consecutive years, not counting the year they were originally drafted.
Example — Trey drafts Justin Jefferson in 2022 → he can keep him in 2023 and 2024.

RULE 2 Draft Round & Keeper Penalties

  • First-time keeper: kept in the same round he was drafted the previous year.
  • Consecutive-year keeper: costs a 2-round penalty on top of that.
  • If a kept player is traded, the new manager inherits the same penalty status and can still keep him for the remaining eligible years.
  • First-round players are the exception: keeping a first-rounder in a following year always costs a full first-round pick (no escalating penalty needed — it's already the top).
Example — Gel drafts Travis Kelce in Round 10 (2021). 2022: keeps him at Round 10. 2023: keeps him at Round 8 (2-round penalty).
Example — Jaden drafts Ja'Marr Chase in Round 1. Keeping him any following year still costs a Round 1 pick.

RULE 3 Restrictions on First-Round Keepers

  • No team can keep two first-round picks in the same season.
  • If two keepers were originally drafted in the same round, the manager chooses which one gets pushed to an earlier round.
Example — Brody drafts Austin Ekeler (R1) and later trades for Tyreek Hill (also R1) — he can't keep both.
Example — Andrew wants to keep both Jaylen Waddle and Amon-Ra St. Brown, both original 5th-round picks. He can keep one at Round 4 and the other at Round 5.

RULE 4 Keeper Value Rules

  • A keeper's cost is based on original draft capital, even if he was later cut and picked up off waivers by someone else.
  • Players who were never drafted (waiver-wire adds) cost the manager's last pick — Round 17 — if kept.
Example — Tucker drafts Nick Chubb in Round 1, then drops him. Whoever picks him up still owes a Round 1 pick to keep him.
Example — Kyle picks up undrafted Jerome Ford off waivers. Keeping him next year costs his Round 17 pick.

RULE 5 New Managers & Inherited Rosters

  • A manager taking over an existing team inherits that team's entire keeper pool and may keep any player who was still eligible.
  • Inherited players keep their existing history — a player already kept once still carries the 2-round penalty for the new manager.
2026 — Jake takes over Konner's seat, so his keeper options come from Konner's final 2025 roster.

DRAFT Draft Order

  • Order is set by Toilet Bowl results (bottom 4) and playoff finish (top 6).
  • Toilet Bowl (bottom 4): Toilet Bowl winner picks 1st among the four, then 2nd, 3rd, 4th-place finishers in order.
  • Playoff teams (top 6): pick in inverse order of playoff finish, filling the remaining slots after Toilet Bowl teams have chosen. The champion automatically gets the last slot.
  • Managers actively choose any open draft slot when it's their turn (it isn't assigned automatically).

TIMING Draft Order & Keeper Lock-In

  • Keepers are declared first, then the draft order is set — the reverse of how it worked through 2025.
  • Keeper lock-in: 3 days before the draft order locks.
  • Draft order lock-in: 1 week before the draft.
2026 timeline — Keepers lock Saturday, August 29 → draft order locks Tuesday, September 1 → draft Tuesday, September 8, ~7:00 PM.

  • Buy-in is $25 per manager, paid out 70/20/10 — 3rd place gets their buy-in back.
  • Dues are collected through Sleeper (SleeperSafe) at the start of the season.

ROSTER Roster Composition

  • 10 starters: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, FLEX, K, DEF
  • FLEX slots accept RB / WR / TE (double flex).
  • 7 bench spots — 17 roster spots in total, plus 1 IR slot on top.
  • IR accepts players listed Out or Suspended — not Doubtful.
  • Bench players lock at kickoff; no swapping a benched player in after their game starts.

  • Every playoff round is a single week (2020–2021 used 2-week rounds).
  • Bottom 4 teams play the Toilet Bowl, which sets next year's top draft picks.

💩 Last-Place Punishment

  • 2026 punishment: within 24 hours, get through a combination of 40 beers, miles and doughnuts — at least one of each, the rest of the split is up to you.
  • Deadline: it has to be done before the next season's draft.
  • If it isn’t: $50 into the league pot every year until it is.

💩 Punishment History

  • 2022 — Ryan: voted on a stand-up comedy set — still outstanding, and now subject to the $50 annual penalty above.
  • 2023 — Kyle: "the 9-9-9" — 9 hot dogs, 9 beers, over a 9-inning baseball game.
  • 2024 — Trey: 300+ piece puzzle in a dark room, headlamp only.
  • 2025 — Tucker: half marathon after a gallon of milk.
