Should we lead Justin Bailey up to the gallows prematurely again? ---

I’m glad they made it smart enough that stattracker changes to the team with the lowest projected score as your opponent as the games are played ---

Yes, and at one point earlier this week my team was projected as the lowest score. When that occurred, the second-lowest team was my opponent. ---

In game injuries seems to be a huge part of Guillotine league. Mundi losing Burrow could well be the reason they get chopped this week. ---

That’s true and it’s a shitty way for things to go but I guess there’s really nothing that can be done about it ---

Heading into the night games, it’s still wide open. Mundi is definitely in the most jeopardy but he has 4 different outs. I wouldn’t want to be Country Roads or Justin right now. ---

Two MNF games is a big help. ---

And 3 of the 5 teams still have their QB in play. ---

Mundi is almost certainly safe. Country Roads needs 31 from Bucky Irving to overtake and that’s not happening. Wilson is actually in a little trouble. If Mike Evans throws up a low number he could be hosed. Justin needs Herbert and Nico to out score Bucky by 20 which feels like a 50/50 proposition. Or to outscore Mike Evans by 33 which also feels like a coin flip. Gonna be a wild Monday night. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Justin needs Herbert and Nico to out score Bucky by 20 which feels like a 50/50 proposition. Or to outscore Mike Evans by 33 which also feels like a coin flip. I was _this close_ to swapping in Jared Goff this week. I think his 30 points would have saved me from being chopped for sure. But oh well, I didn’t need these fingernails anyway… ---

I’m in pretty hot water as well - I have a lot of points sitting on the bench, and need Baker Mayfield to save me tonight. ---

Well, I (Country Roads) am out. Good game, everyone! I’ve played fantasy football for several years, but auction drafts, FAAB leagues, and guillotine leagues are all new to me. It was fun reading up on them and trying to develop a strategy. I didn’t do so great this time around, but it’s definitely something I would like to do again in the future. I’ll be following the league to see how it all turns out. ---

Hopefully we’ll give this a shot next year too andvwe’ll see you (and maybe a friend) then. Better luck in your other leagues. ---

Perhaps I’m missing it, but I cannot locate the final point tallies for each team for Week 2 (or Week 1, for that matter). The league standings show only the current week; are past weeks available? ---

I’m not sure how I found it, but it is possible to see previous weeks: [Week 1](https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/1128751?week=1&seasonPhase=REGULAR_SEASON&season=2025) [Week 2](https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/1128751?week=2&seasonPhase=REGULAR_SEASON&season=2025) ---
