2018 Potential Keepers List

*Last Updated (February 28, 2018)

The Round listed is the Round in which they are eligible to be kept in 2018.

(For example, Longoria below was drafted in Round 7, and is eligible to be kept in 6 in 2018).

DISCLAIMER: This list is not necessarily accurate or complete. I am human and make mistakes. I am not responsible for you failing to keep track of your team. I do the best I can. If I forgot to add a player, or have incorrect information, question me, and I will investigate it. You also have a duty to tell me about players that are listed that should no longer be listed. Do not trade a player and then discover that he was a keeper for your team. The trade will not be rescinded due to your negligence. Don't trust other managers when they tell you a player is a Tier I or Tier II keeper. Look at this site to confirm. No player will be moved into another Tier based on the affirmation of a manager who is not Ed or Jon. Make sure you tell me if you think I made a mistake.
