Keeper calculator
Pick a player, set teams, keepers allowed, starting round, and years kept. The keep is compared to who is left at that snake slot — not a keep/cut ruling.
Round-escalation default: one round earlier per year kept. The pick you spend is priced against who is left after other teams keep — same Dynasty Value Score as the trade calculator · v1.28

FAQ
- How does the keep cost work?
- NextDyne’s default is one round earlier per year kept. Drafted in 10, first keep costs 9. You can change the starting round and years kept.
- Why do I set teams and keepers?
- Those names come off the board before the draft. A 12-team, 3-keeper league likely locks 36 players. The pick you spend is whoever is left at that snake slot — not a startup first-rounder.
- Who counts as a likely keep?
- The top remaining names on this Dynasty Value Score board after Superflex / TE Premium, excluding the player you are pricing. Not your league’s actual list.
- Does Superflex change the leftover board?
- Yes. Superflex and TE Premium reorder the board and the gap. The cost round itself does not change. IDP (DL, LB, DB) stays off the board until you turn IDP on.
- Will this tell me to keep him?
- No. It shows the player versus who is left at the slot you would spend. Contenders and rebuilders can read the same gap differently.
- Can I run keepers in a NextDyne league?
- Yes. Keeper is a first-class mode — commissioner sets max keepers, owners pick, the draft skips those spots.
