FYI, the banner on the current thread is a broken link. Clicking last season's banner works though! This looks like the right url?

Anyway, if you don't mind an auction noob, I'd like a spot on the waitlist.

thanks fixed, you'll get first dibs on your choice of team if any go unclaimed (this matters for keepers)

This is a free league.

RVP and any others - there is at least one vacancy, I've updated the second post with instructions on how to view keeper values so you can think about who to tag. Keeper premium is $5 in addition to last year's auction value.

Players who were picked up from the waiver wire may be kept for $1 (+$5 keeper premium). I'd like to change this rule but wouldn't be fair to do this year, we'll talk about it after the league is full.

In again. Just did my keepers. Keeping R. Wilson for $6+5 and Ingram for $5+5.

edit: I don't think the issue was dropping and picking up the same player, it was that you could pick up anyone in the FA pool and keep them for $5. In protest I used this to pick up C. Patterson, which went swimmingly.

Any provisions for switching out keepers if one is injured during preseason? No big deal either way, but if not I'll probably hold off on officially declaring my dudes just in case.

You can submit new ones through 8/30? Then you have a Sunday through Thursday.

Oh alright, didn't know if when you set keepers they stayed set, or you could change them. Sounds good to me!

E: Shouldn't be much of a surprise, but I'm planning to keep Antonio Brown for $18+5 and Jordan Matthews for $1+5

Wait, forget my PM response, I thought that was about a money league. What are the keeper costs on House of Boldin? The other guy can have his team back, seems fair to me. I have time for 3 leagues, so am in.

e; found it. Lacy for 40 and Ellington for 11. Done.
e2; wait, all the teams that say open are open? Holding off on declaring a team, but it probably won't be Boldin.
e3; 4 Teams I have interest in, when is the deadline, and we can keep keepers 'forever' right? No team really has that 'perfect' set of keepers, all have flaws and values. And, I assume auction prices get really inflated because of a lack of talent available, right? Thanks!

Keeper deadline is this sunday - yes all open teams are open and keepers are forever with a $5 penalty each year. Auction prices are a bit higher than you'd see on a cheat sheet since managers have more budget to work with because of keepers (some dork drafted Nick Foles for $25 last year)

If someone seconds the motion we can vote on it, sure. Same goes for any other rule change you guys want.

I'll let dy. & you have priority on open teams but starting tomorrow it'll be first come first serve.

Flax - can you post in here to confirm you're taking your team back? I noticed you renamed your team and keepered a few players but want to make sure you're in? Reminder to all new and returning managers that name changes are allowed and encouraged

I guess dynasties are vaguely game of thrones-ish. You should watch it (at least the first 4 seasons) - it's good, there's funny midgets, and shapely breasts
