Welcome new managers and reminder to all that the deadline to declare keepers is THIS SUNDAY Aug 30. On Monday I'll post the declared keepers so managers can prepare a strategy for the draft the next Sunday Sept 6.

I would love to get in on this sweet sweet keeper action. How do UDFA's work? What is the price to keep?

UDFAs are $1 base + $5 keeper premium

We'll keep this rule for this season since it was in place last year and wouldn't be fair to managers who planned their rosters around the rule but I'd like to get opinion on this for next season: because of this rule we have silly things like $6 ODB and $6 CJ Anderson - would you guys be open to only allowing drafted players to be kept or otherwise tagging FAs with a higher keeper penalty (say $10+$5)?

Sweet.

edit: NM about draft time, figured it out. How long does the auction draft typically take? This will be my first one.

A couple hours, but at some point you will run out of money and have to wait till the end to get $1 players, but maybe that is if you are doing it wrong, MANY different auction strategies.

This will be my first auction, so I'm sure to get owned left and right.

Luck and Hill are my keepers at a value cost of $35 smackers, just in case you don't see the K next to their name Mr. Commish.

Going to be a crazy draft, some good players in the pool depending on who the last team declares. IDK how to project prices, tried X1.15 but Excel is stupid and even after I manually enter it for 4 rows it still doesn't pick up on column x (variable) times column y 1.15, so FML, I guess everyone gets one stud at 70 bucks a piece as far as I can guess, IDK.

Pretty pumped about the draft. Wish I could have saved a bit more money, but I had to keep Lacey, and Andre Ellington could be a good enough value is he keeps healthy.

the "image link" in imgur will not work
