bkbergen 1 Posted August 29, 2017 I just wanted you guys advice to see if I have missed anything in the rule below. Keeper Rules No player in the first 2 rounds may be kept. Players drafted and kept in rounds 3-9 will cost you the next highest pick. Players picked round 10 or later as well as any player picked up off the waiver wire cost you an 8th round pick. Players retain their draft status after being dropped. Team A drops Kirk Cousins who was a 7th round pick, Team B picks him up. If Team B wants to keep Kirk Cousins it would cost a 6th round pick next year. Players must be on you roster by the trade deadline (Sunday 11/5/17). No players who are on NFL IR or Suspended by the NFL are eligible to be picked up as a keeper off the waiver wire. They would have to be drafted and kept on the roster all year. Example: Team drafts WR Darius Powe (who is on IR) and keeps him on the roster all year he is eligible to be kept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
