The team that came in 5th and didn't make the playoffs gets to name next years team that picks
first. That name lasts for a season-got this from here. One of my ten team keepers the non playoff
teams play for draft position. teams ranked 9-12 play for the 1st 4 draft slots, teams ranked 5-8 play for
the 5-8 slots. You can't tank when the playoffs come or give up (well you could but lose draft position).
New one -SB winner, loser and 3rd place finisher draft their division, also got that from here. This league
has been 1993 or there about so keeping things "fresh" is tough.

I still like the weekly prizes for highest scorer each week.

We do $10 to highest score each week 1-16, also we award $5 if you win your game in weeks 1-13

Everyone should be using an auction format for their drafts, of course, because science.
But for the semi-enlightened, who still use snake drafting but have at least persuaded their leaguemates of the wisdom of FAAB, my favorite fun rule is to run either a blind bid or an auction just prior to the draft for draft slots, with the highest bid getting 1st choice of draft position, next-highest getting 2nd choice, and so on. The amount of each owner's bid is removed from their FAAB for the year (e.g. we use a $200 FAAB, so if I bid $30 on draft slot, I get only $170 for the season).
Even if you don't use FAAB, you can run this blind bidding / auction exercise for draft slots using real money, and just add it to the overall pot.
Lots of fun, adds another layer of strategy, and adds only 5-10 minutes to the overall draft process.

We give $5 for each win during the regular season. Once the playoff starts all of the teams that don't make the playoffs are randomly matched in weeks 14-17 and get $10 for each win. Teams that make the playoffs but lose are included in the $10 games as they are eliminated.
This keeps everyone involved in their teams for the entire NFL regular season.
