Warner turding out and not playing Pierre Thomas really hurt me toward the end of the season. At least I’m looking good for next season keeper wise, with PT in the 12th, Warner in the 6th, and Hightower in the 8th or Walter in the 10th is a pretty good group.

Yeah, gee, can’t wait to assemble that. I’ll see what I can do in the next week or so. Any help is welcome. If you want to help, do one manager.

For each player in the roster, first verify that they were drafted by anyone in the draft results screen. Then you have to verify in the transaction history that they were never dropped. Typically I copy the entire transaction log to an excel spreadsheet – one page at a time – then sort by transaction, delete everything except drops, then sort by player name. Makes it pretty easy to confirm never being dropped.

Mine are easy:

4th - Selwin Young  
5th - DeAngelo Williams  
6th - Kevin Curtis  
14th - Owen Daniels (kept last year)

Suffice it to say I think I’ll keep DeAngelo Williams and Owen Daniels.

It would be better to do somebody else’s roster instead of your own.

Mine is really easy.

Nobody. Unless somebody wants Leon Washington for their 7th-rounder.

I’m not going to be able to get to the tallying of eligible keepers. I’m worried that the [yahoo league](http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/4538) will soon become unavailable, so I encourage everyone to post their own eligible keepers here.

If you don’t post your keepers, and we lose access to the yahoo league, you get no keepers.

Everyone has access to their league history via Yahoo’s player page. I can access rosters, standings and drafts from teams I had back in 2002.

Sorry, that’s Leon Washington in the 8th. May as well stick with it.

For the sake of simplicity, should we suspend the waiver wire rule? As in, players are still eligible keepers even if they hit the waiver wire?

Or can you access add/drops for all those seasons too?

Can’t access add/drops, as far as I’m aware. Good point.

Philip Rivers (SD - QB) (9th rounder)  
Jerricho Cotchery (NYJ - WR) (5th Rounder)  
Chris Johnson (Ten - RB) (7th Rounder)  
Matt Forte (Chi - RB) (3rd Rounder)  
DeSean Jackson (Phi - WR) (10th Rounder)  
Chad Pennington (Mia - QB) (12th Rounder)  
Robert Meachem (NO - WR) (16th Rounder)  
Chris Chambers (SD - WR) (6th Rounder)

Gonna be some tricky decisions there.

What’s the problem? You can access all the adds/drops for the most recent year. You can’t for previous years but that doesn’t mean anything. Shouldn’t need to change any rules.

Player – Round drafted in '08

Marvin Harrison – 4th  
Ben Roethlisberger – 4th (kept once)  
Roddy White – 6th  
Chester Taylor – 7th  
Aaron Rodgers – 8th  
Dallas Clark – 9th (kept once)  
Baltimore D – 11th  
Matt Leinart – 15th  
I’ll be keeping Roddy White and Aaron Rodgers, and then I’ll either be keeping Matt Leinart, Dallas Clark, or \*maybe \*Chester Taylor depending on what happens this off-season. You can go ahead and pencil me in for White and Rodgers now, just in case I miss the keeper deadline down the road (which isn’t, like, totally impossible).

Is it confirmed that you can access the previous season’s add/drops in late August?

You can up until they reopen registration for the next year.

I’m assuming we don’t need to actually pick our three yet, right?
