The league has been renewed for yet another season of whining, complaining, crying and chest thumping. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention fun.
Draft date/time: Sunday, September 5, 2021 5:30 PM ET
Keeper designation deadline: Saturday, September 4, 2021
Reminder of how the keeper draft works (2D is new since this is our 2nd year as a keeper league):
1 – Each team can keep 2 players from last year's roster.
2 – You will forfeit your draft pick in this year's draft based on where they were drafted last year, minus 1 round. The exception to this is 1st round picks from last year - you can keep that player and you would give up your 1st round pick to do so.
2A – Example: I drafted Derrick Henry last year in the 2nd round. If I want to keep him, I forfeit my 1st round pick in this year's draft.
2B – It matters where the player was drafted last year, not that you were the one who drafted him. In other words, if Team A drafted Player X in the 7th round and that player was dropped and picked up by another team or that player was traded to another team, the team that had the player on their roster at the end of the season last year is the one who can choose to keep that player and they would give up their 6th round pick in this year's draft in order to do so in this example.
2C – Players that were undrafted last year may be kept if they were on your roster at the end of the 2020 season. In order to keep them, you would forfeit the round that they are projected to be drafted in this year's draft based on Yahoo's ADP for the 2021 season.
2D - You cannot keep both players you drafted in the first two rounds. Example - I can't keep Michael Thomas (my 1st round pick last year) AND Derrick Henry (my 2nd round pick) because I only have 1 first round pick to give up.
3 – The deadline to assign your keepers is Saturday, September 4th, 2021.
4 – You don't have to keep any players from your 2020 end-of-season roster if you don't want to. If you choose to not keep anyone, you won't have to forfeit any draft picks. In addition, if you decide to keep just 1 player, you will only have to give up the 1 draft pick.
Other notes:
1 – We are a “keeper” league (see draft rules above)
2 – We are ½ point PPR league. The player catching the forward pass will get .5 points for each reception – this is in addition to whatever points they receive for yardage. An interception does not count as this is counted as an interception and not a reception.
3 – The playoffs will consist of the top 4 finishers in the league based on record (tie breaker is overall points scored)
4 – Draft order will be determined by reverse order of how each team finished last year.

Will the following people please check in and advise if you are playing this year?
