How to declare

In Sleeper, on your own roster

Keepers are set in Sleeper. Open the 2026 league there, go to your roster, and mark the players you are keeping before the deadline. Nothing is submitted through this page — the Press only prices the options; Sleeper records the choice.

How a keeper is priced

Rule one

Up to 3 keepers

No roster may keep more than 3 players, however cheap the rest look.

Rule two

The price is a round

Keeping a player costs the round before the one he was drafted in: a fifth-rounder costs your fourth. Round 1 is the floor, so a first- and a second-rounder both cost a first. The price follows the player, not the manager — a player picked up since the 2025 draft keeps the round whoever drafted him set.

Rule three

A keeper needs a pick you own

A keeper has to sit in a round you actually own a pick in. If that pick is traded away, he moves up to the nearest earlier round you do own — marked Moved up below, with the reason. If more of your keepers are priced in a round than you hold picks in it, only as many as you hold can sit there and the rest move up the same way; between them they take that round and the next earlier ones you own, and which of them takes which is yours to assign — marked Manager chooses on the rows where the price below cannot state it. It is not a formality: a keeper's round this year is what sets his price next year.

Yours to assign. Three of these were priced at round 10, which this roster owns no pick in, so between them they take rounds 9, 8 and 7. Which player takes which is this roster's decision and the Press does not make it: the round a keeper is kept at is what sets his price the year after, so what each of them costs in 2027 depends on how they are assigned.
