NFL Fantasy Keeper League (S9)

[Apollo]

Welcome to the NINTH season of the Raptors Republic NFL Keeper League. I mean, wow, we started three Presidents ago.

Invites have been sent out to everyone who participated in the 2017 season. It appears everyone auto-renewed, good!

Important Details

Roster Submission: August 11th

• Submit your rosters in this thread, do not rely on the league page.

Draft Date/Time: Sunday, August 26 @ 12:00 pm EST
Trade Deadline: November 11th

Important Rules:

1. Your Raptors Republic name must be your team name.
2. The league decides the outcome of all trades. I only ever use veto power if both parties involved request the trade to be cancelled.
3. Dead teams won't get invited back next season and may be replaced mid-season if a suitable, willing replacement is found.
4. Initial waiver priority is determined by the outcome of the draft order; top draft pick in round one has the lowest initial waiver priority.
5. Keepers are to be decided at the end of the season. Each team gets five "keeper tags". A "keeper tag" allows you to mark a specific player on your team to carry over to next season. Maximum of five keepers per team.
6. For every keeper tag you choose to use you forfeit a draft pick, starting with round one and working back to round five.
7. Draft order is to be determined based on three aspects:

• Round one picks 1-4 are drawn randomly among the four teams who miss the playoffs.
• Round one picks 5-8 are determined by the inverted standings
• The rest of the draft is snaking format (ie: the team who picks 1st in round one would see his picks as follows: 1, 16, 24, 40, 48, 64, etc.)

Too bad we don't have a flex slot for you.

[Axel]

Too bad we don't have a flex slot for you.

I know. Hunt is available for the right trade price but can’t let him walk.

[Apollo]

Well guys, we're down one man and with no prospects. I feel like I'm running the Sacramento Kings. Don't worry, you're all Bogdan Bogdanovic's in my opinion.

Cody wasn't a good fit and Roc wouldn't register for some reason so here we are. Its a tough time to recruit but I have an announcement up on the forum to see if we get any bites.

[Mack North]

I will re-join in the 11th hour if you have no other options.

[Apollo]

Forgot to mention. Tucas is taking over our eighth team.

[Apollo]

I also have a proposed change. Let's reduce our benches by one spot and if possible increase IR by one spot. It will make the FA pool a little deeper and increase the difficulty of the league a little. Thoughts?

[Mack North]

Your randomized draw is in:

1. 1
2. 3
3. 2
4. 4

Good luck, boys!
