Welcome to Week 8, guillotine leaguers! This weekend represents the halfway point of the guillotine season and you're still alive! Congrats!  New challenges await, as everyone's teams are getting progressively better, while their FAAB budgets are dwindling. I’m here every Tuesday offering waiver wire guidance to help you strategize your bidding. If we've learned anything from this injury-ravaged season, it's that holding injured players is usually a mistake in this format.

Welcome to Week 7, guillotine leaguers!  I’m here every Tuesday offering waiver wire guidance to help you strategize your bidding. There are 12 weeks left in the guillotine season. If you're reading this, you're already in a guillotine league. But what's more fun than a guillotine league? Two guillotine leagues. Almost all of you are in a regular (comparatively boring) 12-team league. This is a perfect time to fire up a brand new "shadow" guillotine league, featuring the exact same people.

Welcome to Week 4, guillotine leaguers!  Hey, everyone. It's Paul Charchian, Director of Guillotine Leagues at FantasyLife.com. I’m here every Tuesday offering waiver wire guidance to help you strategize your bidding. I’ve been immersed in guillotine leagues for five years. I’ve never seen any position struggle like tight ends this year. Annually, I’ve advocated for drafting tight ends early, to square away the position with one of the few reliable guys. This year? No tight end is reliable.

Welcome to Week 3, guillotine leaguers!  Let me guess, you’ve got injury woes? Same here. Our annual war of attrition is already a bloodbath. At this point, if you’re only missing one key starter, you’re probably in better shape than most of your league mates. Losing an impact starter this early in the season, with little help on the bench, is panic-inducing for guillotine players. Keep reading for angles to overcome the loss!I’m Paul Charchian, Director of Guillotine Leagues at Fantasy Life.

Congratulations, you survived Week 1 in your guillotine league!  Getting chopped in Week 1 is an ignominious achievement and you’ve avoided it! What a relief. It’s the first guillotine league waiver wire of the year. You’re about to bid on some really good players, most of whom underperformed (or didn’t play at all, ahem, CMC) in Week 1. I’m here every Tuesday offering waiver wire guidance to help you bid successfully.
