Here we go, the final season of keepers before the redraft. The ECFFL saw an off-season of unprecedented trade activity which obviously effected the keeper lists. After much calculation through the L.A.K.E. (Lakewater Analysis Keeper Evaluation) tool here are the 2023 Lakewater Keeper rankings:
| Team | Score | Analysis |
| Beers & Tears | 109.75 | You know when you are in Excel and you have a value too big for the cell and it just shows asterisks? That’s what happened here, a triple digit ranking. |
| Fantasy Factory | 66.45 | A guy on PUP, a WR that hasn’t played for a year in a new offense and the Ariz #1 WR. The Factory will need to produce something in the draft |
| East Carolina Rebels | 56.6 | A questionable trade tanked what could have been. |
| Crazed Dogs | 55.45 | A lot of questions here and lets face it, the LAKE does not like QB keepers even if they make sense on paper |
| Flying Rastas | 54.65 | We’re not sure exactly what happened at the darkness retreat but even a prescient trade of JT can’t mask the keepers are weak |
| Worthless Vagrants | 51.25 | A shaky group of keepers here without anyone in the top 20. Good thing the King has a coffer of first round picks. |
| Beaufort Rocksters | 40 | Somehow KO traded himself into a nice set of keepers. There is obviously a method to his madness? |
| Goose Football Team | 36.4 | Henry’s star is fading and Pierce is still a question mark |
| DangeRuss Chubble | 32.5 | Hickory, dickory dock Chubble is on the clock His keepers are mid That’s why the trade he did Better hope Bijan’s legit |
| Prime Time | 23.4 | Prime went into the off season like a lion but left with a Lamb. |
| Smooth Operators | 11.75 | Saquon came home and he still has two top 10 WR? Is there a belt in the future? |
| Commando Joe | 10.95 | Yes, he made the trade to fleece his bro after inheriting this roster. But this the ECFFL. You don’t get the benefit of the doubt. Picture this…a young sprinter is in his first Olympics (the big leagues) and he is anchoring the 4×100 for a stud team. They have given him a huge advantage but on the last hand off he drops the baton. Will Commando drop the baton in the draft? |
