05The Keeper Code

One keeper per manager. One-and-done. The player you keep this year cannot be kept next year. That rule is what makes every season's draft feel fresh.

• Slots per team1 keeper
• DeadlineThursday, September 3, 2026 · 11:59 PM ET
• One-and-doneA player you kept last year cannot be kept this year
• No-keeper optionManagers may decline to keep and enter the draft with a full board
• New-owner exceptionManagers who take over an existing team slot are not bound by the previous manager's keeper. The full menu applies.
• Trade-in keeperIf you trade for a player and want to keep them, standard one-and-done rules still apply from the moment they are yours
• Voided keepersA voided keeper gives the manager an open selection in the designated keeper round. For 2026, X Bettors retains an open Round 13 pick. Round 14 remains governed by the finalized traded-pick board. The manager's next-season keeper eligibility is not affected.
