Type a player. Pick how you got him. The math is shown so you can post it in the chat.
YR 1 — what you paid at the auction.
YR 2 — draft price plus a bump by where he finished at his position in 2025:
| Finished | RB | WR | QB | TE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premiere · 1–4 | +$25 | +$22 | +$15 | +$15 |
| Top · 5–10 | +$20 | +$20 | +$7 | +$7 |
| Valuable · 11–21 | +$10 | +$12 | +$5 | +$5 |
| The rest · 22+ | +$5 | +$5 | +$3 | +$3 |
YR 3 — no more bidding-war discount: cost becomes the average of last year's draft prices at the position (finish 1–4 → avg of spots 1–3 · 5–10 → avg of 4–10 · 11–21 → avg of 11–20).
Waiver pickup — 50% of the average price of players drafted in his finish range (1–5 / 6–10 / 11–21); finished 22 or lower → flat $10.
Missed the season (12+ games) — draft-value slot only. No bump, no performance credit.
Can't be kept: season-ending injury before the draft (Jordy Nelson rule) or a year missed for conduct (Josh Gordon rule) — back into the pool. A drafted player you dropped and re-added keeps his drafted value; he doesn't become a waiver keeper.
YR 1: Draft year Value
YR 2: DY Yr 1 +
| Position | RB | WR | QB | TE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premiere Players Finished: 1–4 | 25 | 22 | 15 | 15 |
| Top Players Finished: 5–10 | 20 | 20 | 7 | 7 |
| Valuable Players Finished: 11–21 | 10 | 12 | 5 | 5 |
| The Rest Finished: 22 and Down | 5 | 5 | 3 | 3 |
Yr 3: The value is that you don't have to engage in a bidding war for the player however values will be comparable to the status and performance of said player. If a player is hurt during the year we will use the previous years value/status of the player. We will also get players back into the rotation while they are within their primes.
Finishes previous year the draft value will be calculated by
1–4 Average value of the draft spots 1–3 from previous year
5–10 Average value of the draft spots 4–10 from previous year
11–21 Average value of the draft spots 11–20 from previous year
Players who miss the season (12 or more games) values will be determined by their draft value finish slot. No extra value or previous performance will be considered.
If you pick a player off waivers, and he finishes top in points at his position, to keep him will cost 50% of the average amount of top players drafted at said position. Example QB top finishers: would be top 2 because when we drafted we drafted Rodgers @ $41 and Luck @ $48. By doing so we inadvertently set a value for the top performers at their position. Average would be $44.5 × .5 = $23.
| Finish 6–10 is average salary for players drafted in this range × .5 |
| Finish 11–21 × .5 |
| Finish 22 and down will cost a flat 10 |
The AP Rule: Any player who misses a year for conduct and you drafted him, his value will stay the same. If you send him to waivers he automatically reenters the draft pool.
The Jordy Nelson Rule: Any player who suffers a season ending injury pre draft cannot be kept or picked up from waiver, he automatically reenters the draft pool.
The Josh Gordon Rule: Any player who misses a year due to conduct cannot be kept or picked up from waiver. He automatically reenters the draft pool.
The IR Player: If you draft a player and he suffers a season ending injury, you still can keep him but he has to remain on your roster throughout the year. If at any point he is sent to the waivers he will automatically reenter next years draft pool.
Dropped Drafted Player: If you draft a player and drop him to waivers then re-add him he does not become a waiver keeper, he retains the value that you drafted him at.
Keeper Cutoff Date: The Wednesday after Trade Deadline. You will have to submit your roster. This roster will be the only roster you will be able to select your keepers from. During the playoff run there is a lot of roster movement and we don't want players who are not in the playoff picture taking advantage of this circumstance.
