Most-Chopped Players For Week 10 In Guillotine Leagues™️: JSN Is Available?

Welcome to Week 10. You’ve made it to the double digits! More importantly, there are just nine teams left from the 18-team Guillotine Leagues^TM you started with. Long forgotten are those barren rosters where you hoped that your RB2 would fall into the end zone or your last flex player got more than a zero.

It’s no longer a race to 100 points every week. The bar has been raised, yet the Guillotine blade still falls every week. And the teams getting chopped have more players worth bidding up on.

So enjoy that you’ve avoided the Guillotine blade so far. Done? OK, let’s get into those players who got chopped the most in Guillotine Leagues. As always, make sure to check out the fantasy football rankings and fantasy football projections to make as informed of FAAB bidding decisions as possible. All defensive data is from our outstanding DvP Tool and it will also feature important Utilization Report data.

Week 10 Most-Chopped Players for Guillotine Leagues

Josh Allen | QB | Bills

He’s human, plus the fact that the Vikings defense is filled with demons. Amazing collection of defensive talent. As far as Allen, no need to overthink. He’s still the QB1, even with the amazing season that Joe Burrow is having. Allen has the Jets and Dolphins the next two weeks, both very beatable defenses. Quietly important: he’s past his bye. If you spend up for a QB, this is the time.

D'Andre Swift | RB | Bears

After scoring a combined 7 TDs in the previous four games, Swift delivered a 12-31-0 clunker against a stellar Buccaneers run D—tops in the league at just 13.7 FPPG allowed to the position. The NFL TD leader with 10, Swift is going into his bye week, which complicates how to bid on him. He does come out of the bye with a great matchup against the Saints—No. 1 with 26.3 FPPG allowed to RBs. Good run defenses await Weeks 15-17—Bills, Packers, Lions—but that doesn’t stop Ben Johnson and the Bears from dialing up successful running plays.

Jared Goff | QB | Lions

After throwing for 170 yards and 0 TDs—his first game without a scoring pass all season—Goff is on to Munich to face a suddenly leaky Patriots D. New England has allowed 7 passing TDs in the past three games. Goff will get back on the horse and start pitching it to his talented pass-catching group. This game is outdoors, but there’s no bad weather in the forecast—mid-40s with no rain. Remember, his only outdoor game of significance—see bad weather—the rest of the way is Week 17 in Chicago.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba | WR | SEA
What, no? He’s actually on this list? He is, thanks to only his second game this season either under 100 yards or without scoring a TD. Even still he got 10 targets and turned them into 7-51-0 with Drew Lock at the helm. Lock may be back under center in Week 10 in Las Vegas. The Raiders are allowing the sixth-most FPPG to WRs at 28.5. You’re firing up JSN, no matter who is throwing to him. Keep in mind, his bye week is Week 11, so an all-in bid may not be prudent.

Josh Jacobs | RB | GB

This one will be short, as Jacobs fractured his right ring finger and will undergo surgery. With the Packers on a bye in Week 11 and so much uncertainty surrounding his timeline, it’s best to just leave him be because by the time he’s healthy there will be better options available. If you’ve survived several chops.

Ashton Jeanty | RB | LV

With 8 carries the past two weeks, are you willing to put much of a bid in on this player who someone who got chopped spent a first-round pick in the draft? In Week 9, Jeanty turned 11 touches into 20 total yards. With nine teams left in most Guillotine Leagues, it’s likely that you have a better option at RB. Especially considering that his next two games are against solid run defenses in the Seahawks and Broncos. Plus, he has a Week 13 bye.

Tucker Kraft | TE | GB

In a game where the Packers won 45-27 and Jordan Love threw for 372 yards and 3 TDs, seeing Kraft draft 3 targets and turn them into 1 catch for 1 yard is beyond a huge letdown. Kraft is clearly the third target in this offense, but considering that his UR scores have been between 67-84 in the previous five games shows he’s still quite involved. He had 20 targets combined in the three previous games. He has a tough matchup against the Vikings this week, then a bye. Don’t put a heavy bid on him, or wait and see if he’s available after Week 11.

Jahmyr Gibbs | RB | DET

My DFS squad where I spent up for Gibbs while envisioning a huge day evaporated like an ice cream cone on an Arizona summer day. His standard is so high that a 20-74-1 day with zero receptions is his “down” day. Let’s focus on the fact that he’s averaging 26.2 FPPG per game and he’s the absolute focal point of a fantastic offense. He goes to Munich to take on the Patriots, who when facing elite backs in James Cook, Swift and Bhayshul Tuten, all of them reached at least 83 total yards and scored a TD each. That should be the starting point for Gibbs. Not just this week, but every week. Max bid potential if he’s out there in your league.

Jonathan Taylor | RB | IND

I put the IND very tenuously in the header above, because this is being written before the 4 p.m. ET trade deadline on Nov. 10, and JT has been one of the players most rumored to be on the move. Taylor has 30 touches combined in the past two weeks. He’s pushing that on a normal week when the Colts are not showcasing/saving JT for a trade. If he gets traded, it’ll be to a better situation and he should vault back into 20+ touches for a contending team.

George Pickens | WR | DAL

Pickens has drawn double-digit targets in just three games before suffering a hamstring injury that sidelined him last week. Not a good combo, especially considering how CeeDee Lamb is dominating targets for the Cowboys (108-62). The 49ers are up for the Cowboys, and while that would make some fans nostalgic for those epic battles in the 80s and 90s, SF has allowed just one 100-yard WR this year. And that was to JSN. If anyone does that this week, it’ll be Lamb, not Pickens, who is probably worth just a low bid to make sure someone doesn’t sneak him by.
