2026 Keeper Decisions Are Here

2026 Keeper Deadline

Keeper Window Closed

One of the Sunday Hu$tle's biggest preseason decisions is officially on the clock. Each team can keep one eligible player from last season's late rounds, giving owners a chance to bring back a player they drafted and held all the way through the year.

The 2026 keeper deadline is September 4, 2026. 9 franchises currently have at least one late-round holdover in the conversation — 13 players in all. Some owners have an easy decision. Others have options.
