Keeper Eligibility

Managers may keep one player from their prior season's final roster if that player meets these eligibility requirements:

1. Player was kept (any round), or drafted in Round 4+ of the prior season's draft.
2. Player was rostered the entire prior season (draft through Manhands Bowl). A traded player maintains eligibility.
3. Player has been kept for less than three seasons.

Keeper Penalties

To keep a player, a manager must draft that player one (first year kept), two (second year kept), or three (third year kept) rounds earlier than their original draft position.

Example
Suppose Irv Smith Jr. is drafted in the 10th round of the 2021 draft. If Irv remains rostered the entire season, he is keeper-eligible in 2022.

To keep Irv in 2022, a manager must use their 9th round pick (1-round penalty for the first year kept).

To keep Irv in 2023, a manager must use their 8th round pick (2-round penalty).

To keep Irv in 2024, a manager must use their 7th round pick (3-round penalty).

Irv cannot be kept by anyone (even if traded) in 2025, as he has reached the three-year keeper limit.
