With the end of the fantasy regular season coming up relatively soon, I was curious if people would be interested in renewing the league. In essence, this means that the fantasy league from this year will be the same "league" technically for next year, and will keep the same rules/history from this year (along with some other things). There are a couple ways which we can do this.

#1: Renew the League with Entirely New Draft: This basically means that the same league and teams will automatically be back for next season, with the league keeping the settings and history from this season in a couple somewhat significant ways (this year's standings will affect next year's draft order, for instance). The players on the teams themselves will all be thrown back into the draft pool, however. It's easily possible to add/subtract teams if necessary.

#2: Renew the League with Keepers: This keeps the same league, teams, settings, but the twist is, it keeps some of the same players as well. In a keeper league, the top 50 or so players, along with all QBs, Kickers, and DSTs (not sure what it would be exactly for NFL.com) are automatically sent to the draft pool. The owners of the teams can then pick a certain number of players (it's usually two or three, but I think I can change the exact number if people are interested) to "keep" for their team next year. These players will remain with that fantasy team, and everyone who is not selected joins the Top 50+QBs/K/DSTs in the draft pool. It's a lot harder to add/take away teams for a keeper league (although it isn't too difficult to grant a new person ownership of a preexisting team).

Or we can take option #3, which is to just let the league expire and start a new league next year.

Let me know what you guys think; we'll need to have an answer before the fantasy playoffs start (three weeks from now).

I'm down for keeping it going. Keeper league sounds interesting, but I also quite enjoy just the standard draft process as well, so I'm cool with either option.



Buffalo is kind of hot, but the game is in Joizy. Eeeh... guess I'll go with the Bills.



Lol, I'd be tied for first if I remembered to make my Thursday night picks every week.

It makes me a bit nervous that I'm one of the only people picking Baltimore this weekend. Why are the experts so heavily behind Tennessee?

I am thinking that Ravens pick will make up for my Jets pick. However, obviously I believe both are good upset picks.  Of course time will tell...



Deshaun Watson tears his ACL on a non contact injury in practice running QB option drills.....because of course. RIP Texans, you were fun for a minute.
