I've made the deadline to set keepers as late as possible: 11:59 PM PT on Sunday (1:59 AM CT Monday).
Set your keepers at this link: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/.../2/keepers
Keeper Rules:
1. Players can be kept a maximum of 3 years in a row. That is the case even if a player is traded or released during those years.
2. Players are kept 1 round higher than the prior year. For example, if you draft somebody in the 5th round in year 1, you can keep them in the 4th round in year 2, the 3rd round in year 3, etc.
3. The only exception to 1 round higher is that 1st round picks can be kept in the 1st round.
4. Players acquired after being released are kept in whatever round they would have been kept if not released (i.e., base it on where they were drafted initially).
5. Undrafted players are kept in the 7th round in year 2 (6th round in year 3, etc.).
6. If you don't have the appropriate pick, then you use your next highest pick. For example, if you draft somebody in the 5th round in year 1, want to keep them in year 2, but don't have a 4th round pick, then you have to use your 3rd round pick to keep them.
7. If you can't make that work, then you can't keep the player. For example, unless you have 2 first round picks via trade, you can't keep both your 1st and 2nd round picks because those both require 1st round picks to keep, and you don't get to use a lower pick to keep a player.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.
