2017 Season Begins
Welcome to our 16th season of Red Tail Baggers Fantasy Football!
With the start of our season starting yesterday we can start thinking about our keepers for this year. Yahoo still has Keeper League Management Tools which owners can assign keepers to their team. I cannot delete players drafted in the 2017 draft rounds 1-4 so please disregard them and follow the list of keepers you may keep. Please assign 3 keeper spots by Tuesday, August 29th. The same rules apply to keepers as last year. Please also see attached draft worksheet to see an overall picture of the trades that happened last year and your available keepers. Here are some key dates coming up just as a reminder:
- Tuesday, August 1: Start of 2017 Fantasy Football League Season
- Tuesday, August 29: Keeper Night
- Saturday, September 2: 2017 Red Tail Baggers Fantasy Football Draft at My House @ 6:00PM
- Thursday, September 7: NFL Season Opener: Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots
You can find your keepers on the Teams page on our website: HERE.
You can also find the complete 2017 draft order on the website: HERE.
Last year we added two new rule changes:
- FLEX position (Must be RB, WR, or TE)
- IR roster spot (Player must be on IR short term or long term)
If their are any other rules that anyone would like to discuss please let me know and I will make sure this will be talked about on keeper night or at the draft.
