Running a keeper league that lasts

Keepers keep everyone invested year after year. Here is how to set one up.

A keeper league lets each team keep a few players from one season to the next. It gives your league history and gives everyone a reason to care in March.

Pick a keeper number

Two keepers per team is a good balance: enough to build around, not so many that the draft is boring.

Set the deadline

Keepers lock when the draft starts. Remind managers a week before with "Email the league" in Admin.

Keep the history

Fantasy Zone saves champions, season awards and records in History, so next season's trash talk writes itself.

Use a slow draft

For busy groups, a slow draft with a pick clock of a few hours lets everyone draft from their phone without a set time.
