Fantasy football keeper rankings for 2020

Share

Fantasy football keeper leagues are a fun hybrid of the traditional redraft and dynasty formats where you get to carry over players from one season to the next. While these leagues come in all shapes and sizes, the decision on which player to keep can often be a tricky one. If you’re faced with fantasy football keeper decisions this year, I have a few tips that can really help you out.

For starters, don’t be too concerned with age. Since you typically decide on which players to keep each year, age isn’t as big of a factor as in dynasty leagues. For example, Julio Jones is a player who is getting close to the end of his dynasty window at 31 years old. Dynasty owners may want to look to trade him heading into this season. However, Jones is a strong option in keeper leagues.

If you’re in a league where there’s no penalty for keeping players, your decision is fairly easy. Simply keep the players who are ranked the highest. To help you figure all of that out, I broke down my top 100 fantasy football keeper rankings below.

These are a general set of rankings that should help you across any format with one starting quarterback. Simply find the player who is ranked highest and keep that player. If two players are close in rankings, you don’t always have to keep the highest-ranked player, though it is recommended.

If you’re in a league where you lose a specific round pick for keeping a player, we have you covered with the FTN Keeper Value Chart.
