Draft board — all 160 picks

Every pick, in order, with its current owner. A traded pick keeps the original team's board position, so an acquired pick shows “from …”. Keepers are in gold; drafted players fill in as the draft happens.

⚡ Quick answers

What does my keeper cost?	The round you drafted him in, +1 round per keeper year, capped at R16 — §4.3
I got him off waivers — what’s his cost?	Round 16, fresh 3-year contract — §4.5
Two of my keepers cost the same round?	One keeps it, the other moves a round earlier, your choice — §5.1
What if I drop a declared keeper?	You forfeit the slot — can’t refill it or re-declare him. Pick him back up later and his old contract continues — §5.6, §5.9
Can I trade for someone’s keeper?	Yes; his contract and cost come with him — §4.2
When is everything due?	Dues & keeper declarations: Aug 31, 5 PM CT. Draft: Sep 7, 5 PM CT — §1.2, §7.4

§1 🏆 The Stakes & Dues

1.1 — $250 buy-in. 1st: $1,500, a name plate on the league trophy, and the ring. 2nd: $750. 3rd: $250.
1.2 — Dues are due before keepers lock (2026: Mon Aug 31, 5:00 PM CT). Pay by Zelle, Venmo or PayPal — QR codes on the What We Play For tab. Include your team name.
1.3 — 10th place receives the golden plunger plus a punishment decided by the rest of the league, and must display the toilet bowl trophy in their office / Teams background all year.

§2 📋 Rosters & Waivers

2.1 — Start: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 FLEX, 1 SUPERFLEX. Bench: 6. IR: 2.
2.2 — Full PPR with big-play bonuses — complete table in §3.
2.3 — Waivers: rolling priority (FAAB voted down, Aug 2026).

§3 📊 Scoring (from the league’s Sleeper settings — tap to expand)

	Play	Points
Passing	Passing yards	0.04 / yd (1 per 25)
	Passing TD	4
	Interception thrown	−1
	2-pt conversion (pass)	2
	40+ yard completion	+1
Rushing	Rushing yards	0.1 / yd

	40+ yard rushing TD	+1
	40+ yard receiving TD	+1
Turnovers & misc	Fumble lost	−2
	Fumble recovered for TD	6
	Special-teams TD (any player)	6

Bonuses stack: a 45-yard receiving TD = 4.5 yd pts + 6 TD + 2 big-catch bonus + 1 long-TD bonus = 13.5. No kickers or defenses are rostered in this league, so K/DST scoring never applies. Pulled directly from Sleeper league settings. Sleeper is authoritative — if this table ever disagrees with it, the page is stale; tell the commissioner.

§4 🔑 Keepers — The Basics

4.1 — Keep up to 3 — optional. You can keep none.
4.2 — 3-year contract, regardless of owner. The contract follows the player through trades — trading for a keeper does not reset his clock.
4.3 — Year 0 is the season you drafted him (not a keeper year). Then:

	What he costs	Example: drafted R6 in 2025
Year 1	the round you drafted him in	2026 = R6
Year 2	that round + 1	2027 = R7
Year 3	that round + 2 · final year	2028 = R8

“+1” means the round number goes up — a Round 7 keeper becomes a Round 8 keeper. settled by league vote 6–3, Aug 11, 2026 (§8.1)
4.4 — Cost never passes Round 16. Once at R16 he stays R16 for the rest of the contract.
4.5 — Waiver / free-agent pickup = Round 16, starting a fresh Year-1 contract. The pickup season counts as Year 0, the same as a draft season, so his first keeper season is the following one. commissioner ruling, Oct 19, 2026
4.6 — Declare any time up to one week before the draft (the concrete date each year is Sleeper’s keeper deadline — 2026: Mon Aug 31, 5:00 PM CT). Once declared you cannot undeclare.

§5 🧩 Keepers — Edge Cases (tap to expand)

5.1 — Same-round collisions: if two of your keepers land on the same round, one takes that round and the other moves to your next earlier open round — you pick which. Two R5 keepers = R5 and R4. Three FA keepers = R16, R15, R14. Collisions always resolve toward earlier (more valuable) picks so stacking keepers is never a discount.
5.2 — Unowned rounds: if you do not own a pick in the round a keeper costs (traded away, or consumed by another keeper), the cost moves to your next earlier round you do own.
5.3 — Bumps are one-year: a collision bump applies to that draft only. Next season the player’s cost is figured from his own contract track, not the bumped round.
5.4 — The Round 1 wall: two keepers both costing Round 1 cannot both be kept — choose one.
5.5 — Multiple picks in one round: if a trade gave you two picks in the cost round, you choose which one the keeper consumes.
5.6 — Dropping a declared keeper forfeits the declaration. That slot cannot be refilled, and you cannot re-declare that player this season — even if you re-claim him. This closes the “drop an expensive keeper, re-claim him at R16” loophole.
5.7 — Dropping and re-claiming a player you never declared resets him to R16 with a fresh contract (§4.5). This is currently legal — whether it should be is an open question (§9). open question
5.8 — Trades cannot put a team over 3 declared keepers. A trade for a declared keeper transfers the declaration and cost to the new owner; if the new owner already holds 3 declarations, the trade is invalid.
5.9 — Re-claiming your own declared keeper keeps his contract. If you drop a player you have declared as a keeper and later pick him back up, his existing contract continues — same contract year, same cost track, no fresh R16 contract. Any other team that picks him up starts a fresh R16 contract (§4.5). commissioner ruling, Oct 20, 2026

§6 ⇄ Trading

6.1 — Future draft picks may be traded, next season’s draft only.
6.2 — You cannot trade for any pick in Rounds 1–3. Round 4 and later are tradeable.
6.3 — A team may trade away no more than 2 future picks per season, and every trade must have the same number of picks on each side. wording flagged — §9
6.4 — All trading (players or picks) halts Week 10. Trading stays open through all Week 10 games and closes when the last one ends, which is Sleeper’s trade deadline. commissioner ruling, Oct 20, 2026

§7 🏁 Season & Draft

7.1 — Playoffs start Week 15; 6 teams qualify.
7.2 — The consolation round counts toward draft order. see §9
7.3 — Draft lottery for the four teams that missed the playoffs — picks 1–4. Picks 5–10 go to playoff teams by finish, worst to first.
7.4 — 2026: keepers lock Mon Aug 31, 5:00 PM CT · draft Mon Sep 7, 5:00 PM CT.

§8 ⚖️ How Rules Change

8.1 — Rule changes are put to a league vote in chat or by poll; a majority of managers (6 of 10) carries.
8.2 — Changes take effect the following season unless the league votes otherwise, and are logged in the changelog.
8.3 — New rules are always appended with new numbers (§5.9, §6.5…) — existing numbers never change, so citations stay valid.

§9 ❓ Open Questions (flagged, not yet decided — tap to expand)

These are ambiguities or unwritten assumptions found in review. None is currently a rule. Each needs a league decision (or commissioner ruling) and will be appended above with a changelog entry once resolved.

9.1 — Injury after keeper lock: declarations are final — but is there an exception if a declared keeper suffers a season-ending injury between lock (Aug 31) and the draft (Sep 7)?
9.2 — Lottery mechanics: how do “the consolation round counts toward draft order” (§7.2) and a lottery for picks 1–4 (§7.3) fit together? Are lottery odds equal or weighted? The draw method should be published before the reveal.
9.3 — Trade veto: Sleeper is configured with a 2-day review and 5 votes to veto — never written into the rulebook. Should teams party to the trade be allowed to vote on its veto?
9.4 — When does trading reopen after the Week 10 halt? And are picks for the season after next tradeable during the pre-draft window?
9.5 — Trading a declared keeper away: the declaration moves with him — does the sender get a declaration slot back?
9.6 — Contract expiry: after Year 3 the player presumably re-enters the draft pool and anyone (including his old owner) who drafts him starts a new Year 0. Assumed, never written.
9.7 — Late dues: dues are due before keeper lock (§1.2) — but there is no stated consequence for not paying.
9.8 — Manager replacement: if a manager leaves, does the replacement inherit the roster’s contracts and declarations? (Presumably yes — contracts belong to the franchise — but unwritten.)
9.9 — Tiebreakers: playoff seeding and the 6th/7th cutoff (which also decides who enters the lottery) follow Sleeper’s default — record, then points-for. Never documented.
9.10 — Pick-count wording (§6.3): read literally, “same number of picks on each side” bars pick-for-player trades (1 pick vs 0). Almost certainly not intended — needs one clarifying sentence.
9.11 — Drop-and-re-claim of undeclared players (§5.7): should re-claiming your own dropped player resume his existing contract instead of resetting to R16, with the fresh R16 contract only for a different team?

📝 Rulebook Changelog (tap to expand)

Every change to the rules is logged here. If something looks different from what you remember, this is why.

Aug 2024 — founding rules (published to the league sheet): keep up to 3 (optional), 3-year contract regardless of owner, cost = draft position → DP+1 → DP+2, pick trading with stipulations (no R1–R3 picks, next season only, equal counts, Week 10 halt), playoffs Week 15, 6 teams, draft lottery for the bottom 4.
Aug 2025: bench 10 → 6, added 2 IR slots, divisions removed. First keeper season — 24 players kept, all at Year-1 cost (their draft round).
Aug 10, 2026: league polls resolved — FAAB rejected 5–3 (waivers stay rolling priority), keepers stay at 3 (8–0), buy-in stays $250 (5–3), large-yardage bonuses kept (7–1). Rules moved off the Google Sheet — this page is now the official rulebook. Wording clarified with Year 0 (draft year) numbering and a worked example. Bench/IR listing corrected to 6 BN + 2 IR (the sheet had said 10/none since 2024). Keeper-cost direction in Years 2–3 put to a league vote.
Aug 11, 2026: published the complete scoring table to the rulebook (previously only summarized as “PPR with big-play bonuses”).
Aug 11, 2026: added edge-case rules: same-round collisions resolve to the next earlier open round; unowned-round costs move to your next earlier owned round; collision bumps are one-year only; the Round 1 wall; multiple same-round picks. Closed two loopholes: dropping a declared keeper now forfeits the slot and bars re-declaring him (kills the drop-and-reclaim discount), and trades cannot push a team over 3 declarations. Clarified the pick-trade limit as 2 picks traded away per season.
Aug 12, 2026: added a League Dues section (What We Play For tab) with Zelle/Venmo/PayPal QR codes. Dues deadline set: due before keepers lock (Mon Aug 31, 5:00 PM CT). No penalty for late payment defined yet — open item.
Aug 12, 2026 (evening): rulebook restructured for readability — numbered sections (§1–§9), table of contents, live search, and collapsible sections. No rule meanings changed. Wording fixes only: declarations happen in the offseason (old text said “in season”); the drop-and-re-claim R16 reset is now explicitly limited to players who were never declared (the declared-keeper forfeit rule is unchanged); the Stakes payment instructions now point to the Dues section. A red-team review added §9 Open Questions — ambiguities awaiting league decisions, including a newly caught one: the “equal pick counts” wording technically bars pick-for-player trades.
Aug 13, 2026: the Keeper Board now applies §5.1/§5.2 cost adjustments automatically. Bumped costs display with a marker (e.g. R1*) instead of the raw contract round. Live case: Brock, Flag and Eagle’s two R2 keepers (St. Brown + Jeanty) now show R2 and R1*. Pick ownership from Sleeper trades is factored in (§5.2). No rule changed — the display now matches the rules.
Sep 7, 2026: keeper-cost direction recorded as settled — +1 per keeper year (draft round, then +1, then +2; cap R16), §4.3. It was decided by league vote on Aug 11, 2026: 6–3 for the written rule (Sleeper poll “Keeper cost in Years 2 and 3”), a §8.1 majority; the “under league vote” flag should have come down then. The site’s chat archive had dropped poll results, so the vote went unrecorded here until now — that capture bug is fixed. Every team declared, costed and drafted 2026 keepers under this rule. Open next: §9.6, what happens after Year 3 — 14 players reach it in 2028.
Oct 19, 2026: §4.5 clarified by commissioner ruling — the season a player is picked up off waivers or free agency counts as Year 0, the same as a draft season, so his first keeper season is the next one at R16. This is how the Keeper Board has always counted it; 38 rostered players hold waiver contracts. The board now has a Contract column showing each player’s keeper year (Year N of 3) for 2027.
Oct 20, 2026: two commissioner rulings on gaps found in a bylaws review. §6.4: “halts Week 10” means trading stays open through all Week 10 games and closes when the last one ends — Sleeper’s trade deadline, which has been set to Week 10 since 2024, so nothing changes in practice. New §5.9: a team that re-claims a keeper it declared and then dropped keeps his existing contract instead of getting a fresh R16 one, closing the loophole §5.6 was written to close. Any other team that picks him up still starts a fresh R16 contract (§4.5). This ruling goes against the commissioner’s own team: if Nacua Matata re-claims Jalen Hurts, dropped Oct 19, he stays at his 2027 cost of R3 in Year 3 of 3. §9.11 (re-claiming a player you never declared) is still open.
