The fantasy football season is freshly over and while most keeper leagues don't require any keeper designations for at least a few months, I'd love to get some conversation started on who everyone is thinking about keeping in their leagues.

Make sure to provide enough context to your comment:

Number of teams in your league

Roster size/customization (superflex, no kicker, 3 WR, etc)

Number of keeper players per team

What it costs you to keep a given player into the 2024 season and beyond

Any rules unique to how your league treats keepers

The only keeper league that I’m in is an 8 team league. It’s an auction league with $600 budget. The keeper cost is half the amount of fantasy points they scored during the season. A top 10 player ends up costing about 1/4 of your budget. QBs tend to go pretty high with less teams not having one of the top 5 means you are giving up a significant advantage since there are only 2 other teams with a “bad” QB.

Anyways, my keepers last year were Mahomes, Ekeler, and Jefferson.

This year I’m keeping Mahomes and Jefferson again. But for the third keeper, I’m deciding between keeping Kyren, Nico Collins, and Mike Evans. I’m guessing that Kyren is the one I am going to go with. I’m pretty sure I can get Evans and Collins cheaper in the auction draft.

Yeah Kyren Williams looks like he'll be a league winner if he stays healthy all year - that's who I'd go with.

That's a really interesting way of doing keepers, I've never heard of basing value off fantasy points before.

I like it because if you have a guy get injured and wreck your season, you get a discount the next season to give you a bit of an advantage the next season. And it also helps solve the problem of guys coming out of nowhere getting to be kept for basically free the next few years
