Frequently asked questions
The lowest-scoring team is eliminated each week, and that roster goes to waivers. The process continues until one team remains. League settings can vary, so Sleeper is the final source for your scoring and waiver rules.
Connect your Sleeper username from the Dashboard, then choose which guillotine leagues to import. Survive The Chop reads the leagues you select and does not place bids or change anything in Sleeper.
Open Draft Coach alongside your live Sleeper draft. It updates as picks come in and shows player tiers, Pick Scores, roster fit, and early schedule notes. Pick Predictor starts once Sleeper publishes the draft order.
Once your Sleeper draft is complete, My Team and Survival Odds can use Week 1 projections. My Team reviews your roster and lineup. Survival Odds estimates each active team's chance of making it through the week.
FAAB Recommendations gives you a player-specific bid based on the selected league and your roster. Market Prices shows what winning bids usually cost for players in the same position and rank range. FAAB Results shows the bids that actually won in your league.
Sleeper waiver timing comes from your league settings. Check those settings before placing bids. Survive The Chop does not assume that every league runs waivers on the same day or at the same time.
It is an estimate of the chance that each active team avoids elimination for the selected week. The model simulates weekly scoring outcomes using current player projections and your league settings. It is a probability, not a guarantee.
Projections are estimates and will be wrong sometimes. Injuries, lineup changes, and unusual game results can move the outcome quickly. Use them as one part of the decision, not as a promise.
A score of 100 is the best current option for that pick. The score reflects the players still available, your roster, and the current draft context. Compare players at the same pick. Do not compare a score from one round with a score from another.
Rosters refresh automatically each day and while you use the app. Projections and rankings update during the week when new source data is available. FAAB results appear after Sleeper reports completed transactions.
Yes. You can connect multiple Sleeper guillotine leagues and switch between them inside each tool. Every league keeps its own settings, roster, and results.
Cancel Weekly from the Account page. Access continues through the end of the paid week, and you will not be charged again. Weekly also ends automatically after Week 18. The Season Pass is a one-time payment and never renews.
