Few important facts about Keepers on ESPN Fantasy: 

• The default draft method in Keeper leagues is to draft/assign selected Keepers during the first rounds of the draft.
• The LM can also select to have Keepers drafted/assigned in the same round as they were originally drafted. This method rewards Team Managers who draft players in later rounds who proceed to turn into superstars.
  • • • Example:  Last season, a Team Manager drafted a player in the 5th round of the draft.  The Team Manager decides to mark that player as one of their team's Keepers for the next season.  When the next season's draft occurs, that Keeper will be drafted automatically in the 5th round.
