DRAFT BOARD

2023 draft order

4 Gavin
5 Ben
6 Mike

8 Kob
9 Jim
10 Mark

When a trade is made, Ben will send the details of the trade to the host of The Trade Addicts podcast who will make a ruling on the fairness of the trade. If the trade is ruled fair, it will be processed, if it's ruled unfair, it will be reversed.

Once a trade is accepted, there will be a 48-hour window in which the 10 teams who are NOT involved in the trade may privately negotiate with either of the teams in the trade for any of the players included in the trade. If one of the 2 teams involved in the trade agrees to accept an outside offer, which must also be within 10 points, the original trade will be voided, and the new trade will be processed.

If a counter-offer trade is agreed upon between Thursday night kickoff and Monday night football, the new trade will be processed after the end of the week's games. In other words, players may contribute to their new teams during the fantasy week if the timing of the first trade allows.

As soon as the current season ends, teams can trade any number of players from their team and draft picks from the next occuring draft. The number of team assets (picks/players) being traded must be equal on both sides of the trade.

When a team trades a player during the offseason, they will sacrifice the keeper-value of that player from their draft stock in order to trade them. Although they lose the draft pick, the player traded away does not count towards the team's total number of allowed keepers. A team who acquires a new player may choose to keep that player and will not have to pay the assigned keeper value, but the player will count towards the team's total number of allowed keepers. Trading a player in the offseason does not impact their current or future keeper value.

Just like with in-season trading, there will be a 48 hour window following the completion of a trade in which all other teams are allowed to make counter-offers for any of the assets being traded in the original deal. If the original trade is made less than 48 hours before the start of the league draft, the trade will be finalized as soon as the draft begins.

$100 league buy-in paid on Yahoo
First place: $700.00
Second place: $200.00
Third place: $100.00

At the start of a season, every team is provided a free agent budget of $100 through Yahoo. Each week, players who are not currently rostered are available to be bid on. Bids are run like a silent auction. Whichever manager offers the most FAAB for the available player will be awarded that player at the conclusion of the fantasy week. Tiebreakers are broken based on waiver priority.

If a player whose game is on Sunday or Monday is declared inactive before 1:00 PM on Saturday or is on bye and the manager leaves that player in their starting lineup, they will forfeit their 8th round draft pick the following year. If this happens a second time, they will lose their 7th round pick, stacking.

Managers can purchase-back a penalized draft pick for $60 which is paid to the league's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers ($10 each). Picks must be repurchased before Super Bowl Sunday of the same football season in which the pick was lost. If a team loses more than one pick, they will pay $60 per pick to purchase-back. (The $60 buy-back cost will increase proportionally if the league ever votes to increase the season buy-in.)
If the penalized manager resigns their team and a new manager takes over, these penalties will be reversed, returning the lost picks to the new team owner.

All league changes must be voted on by the league during the offseason - Changes must be approved by more than 50% of the current managers.

Keepers must be texted to Ben 24 hours before the draft.

Teams are allowed to keep up to 5 players from their previous-year roster or player traded for during the off-season.

Players who were drafted in the 1st or 2nd rounds of the fantasy draft cannot be kept.

All players are assigned a keeper value based on where they were drafted and their previous keeper status. Keeper cost can only be paid for with a team's original draft pick. Picks that have been traded for, can not be used to pay for a keeper cost. If a team does not have their original draft pick in the round that a keeper is valued, they must pay a higher-round pick: Value stacks up, not down.

Undrafted players who were added as free agents during the season are valued as an 8th-round keeper the following year.

Players are allowed to be kept for 2 consecutive years and then must return to the draft pool. The second year a player is kept, their value doubles and rounds-down, if needed. For example: A player kept in the 8th round then becomes a 4th round for year two. A player kept in the 11th round then becomes a 6th for year two. Trading or dropping a player does not reset their keeper status.

The roster's designated IR positions can be used to stash a potential keeper player who was on your team before getting injured or used to keep a player who has been designated to return. Any player added from the free agent pool during the season, must play in at least 1 fantasy-active game in order to be a keeper. Teams cannot add players with a season-ending injury and then keep them the following year.

Each team may assign a franchise tag to one player on their team. Only players drafted by that team and retained (not dropped or traded) for the entire season may be tagged. Only players drafted in the 9th round or later the previous season can be tagged. A tagged player can remain tagged for 3 years before returning to the draft pool. Teams can only have one player under the franchise tag at a time. If a team wants to apply their tag to a new player while an existing player is tagged, the existing player will return to the draft pool - they cannot become a keeper. If a team trades or drops a player who is under the franchise tag, they become an 8th round keeper the following year. The number of years having been previously kept stay the same when considering future eligibility. Cost to keep a tagged player:

First Year: Last round pick
Second Year: 8th round pick
Third Year: 2nd round pick
