2026 Cecil’s Hot Seat - Fantasy Football Guillotine League Year 2

Alright, Yahoo has renewed the league from last year, and it looks like there are already 13 teams signed up (I’m guessing it’s auto renewal as well).

I’m going to preemptively set a draft date for 9/2/26 at 8pm Eastern. Subject to change. We did an auction last year, which was awesome - we’re doing that again.

New settings: I’m open to pretty much everything if there’s general consensus. Also, there’s an option for giving players an injured status if their game is postponed. I like that - if a hurricane rips through town, you can slide a guy into the IL slot and get a quick replacement. I’m turning that on, but if you have an objection, I’ll turn it back off.

I believe we went with the following roster slots: 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 W/R/T. No kickers (because kickers suck in fantasy) and no defense. 7 bench spots, 1 IR.

There is an option to skip particular weeks - week 11 has 6 teams on bye, which might make sense. I dunno. Maybe the week before it gets down to 3-4 teams? Maybe skip week 1 to make that first week of waiver picks extra insane?

If you aren’t in the league and want to join, PM me. If there’s someone I need to kick, lemme know.

Yep, Yahoo informed me that the league and my team was auto-renewed. I’m in and looking forward to it!

Draft date looks fine to me. Got it on my calendar.

I see no reason to skip a week. If there are 13 teams, by week 11 there will just be 2 teams left. There will be plenty of players to pick up if you happen to have a lot of players on a bye week.

I’m thinking I should kick everyone out and have people manually rejoin, just to make sure any inactive aren’t…active.

I’m looking forward to another season!
