**Quick Hitter**

The first League Poll of the 2017 season is up and league owners will need to vote on the poll BEFORE they will be able to set their lineup for this week. The question polled is Should we select keepers at the end of the year instead of in season”? This has been mentioned before in the past and I figured with the new keepers format being implemented this season that it was once again a relevant question. As of now the Keeper’s Deadline has been set for the beginning of Week 10, but some wanted to have it at the end of the season.

I’ve also thought about having a soft Keeper’s Deadline for the end of the season and then have you set those keepers in stone before the 10-Day Free Agency Period begins at the start of the next season. But how we go about it can all be worked out later, the question at hand is should we change the in season Keeper’s Deadline or not? The chance for your voice to be heard is now… 🙂
