Here's my proposal for cost:
$25 per team entrance fee. First place gets $215, second place gets $60, third place gets their money back, last place pays the additional $25.50 fee to Yahoo.
Total: $300. However, wagers of public shame will be mandatory. Things like "you must post the following phrase in one of your posts at least 5 times this week". I am always down for karaoke bets, those were fun.
Thoughts on this return of the "fun league" expectations along with the $$$ layer?
EDIT: Eight teams including me have confirmed their keepers, later this week I'll put up a tracker so that everyone can adjust draft boards.

I'm fine with paying but will still play if it's free.

So far we only have two people voting for the buy-in. I don't feel great about making this a money league with only two votes.

I just noticed the poll up top and voted. I bet that people haven't seen it yet.

From being in cash leagues, $25-50 is a sweet spot to keep it entertaining but not stressful. I was in a 12 team league at work $150 buy in. Winner took home $1k, runner up $500 and 3rd/4th place made their entry fee back. One of the guys retired and picked up every free agent on any news. A couple of guys tanked/traded players for next year's #1 after a few bad games knowing they were out of the money. Waking up at 4am to get guys as FAs you didn't want to spend the #1 waiver wire on each week. It took the fun out of the experience.

If you keep a first rounder, you cannot keep a second player. We had that issue a few years ago. Didn't you take Chubb in the second round? Haven't checked yet.

You are right! So it would actually be Fields for a 10th (not a 9th) and Chubb for a 2nd. This is my first time keeping either. Thanks for keeping me honest.

I don’t mean to be a snitch (yes I do lol), but wasn’t Jamarr Chase kept with a 4th last year? Thought it’d be a 3rd this year, since it was the second year in a row. Or has that rule changed?
