Decisions. Decisions. With the countdown to the Brothers Keeper declaration date marching ever closer (two weeks from tonight, Sunday, August 12 at 11:59 PM CT) we have to weigh the values of or final 2011 rosters for the upcoming season. Who will we keep? Who will we throw away? Every year I struggle tremendously with this and this year is no different. Perhaps it is just as difficult for you. If it isn't, that means your team has no depth of talent! And that's okay, because you won't have the anguish others will feel for throwing players into the draft pool. Therefore it would be beneficial to the league to post the keeper values for each team's final roster from 2011.
This is usually done on a team by team basis when I post reviews for each team. While I have the basics in place for a possible series of posts covering each team's fantasy year and forthcoming expectations, I will venture to say that I will be unable to complete them in time. If you are unable to see the values for your team please consult the Yahoo page for your team last year and do your own calculations. You can see some information there and on previous posts here.
I will review the information to see if it is correct. If you see anything that is incorrect please let me know and I will look into it and fix it if need be. However, in my estimate it is pretty accurate.
Again, I do not have the information to know who is and who is not developmental so we are on an honor system this year. I do know my own team's developmental eligible players. I hope you know your team's developmental eligible players.
Please log in to the league if you have yet to do so. We will need to nail down a draft date, time, and location. I hope you have a good offseason and wish you all the best as we stare down the beginning of league year activities.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet. From there you might be able to sort the information by team to see your team more succinctly. Otherwise, you also have the visual below.
Please be reminded that if you keep two 1st Round Keepers you will not have a second round pick. Also remember that if you keep two or more from the same round after the 1st round you will need to select a player to move up a round. For instance, one year I kept two folks who were a 10th round pick. I had to choose one to become a 9th round pick from those two. So be sure to indicate this to the Commissioner when you report your keeper selections to him. Also, if a player was a keeper last year he will move up a round if kept again this year. I have this reflected in the chart below. I also have calculated the value of players you did not draft but was drafted by another team in 2011. Please feel free to ask me or the Commissioner about any clarifications of the Brothers Keeper Canons you may need help with. Please see below this chart for my best guess on each team's keepers! It is back by popular demand yet without commentary and no clue about who is developmental.

Please remember these are my guesses as to what will be done. Not my recommendation on what should be done or what I think is best. I could be way off. But D Kessler always keeps T Gonzalez! I also cannot remember developmental eligible players other than my own and P Manning since he didn't play a single game last year. The teams are being presented in their draft order.
