Guillotine Rankings 2025: The Players Most Likely to Keep You Off the Chopping Block

Guillotine leagues flip traditional fantasy football on its head. Instead of trying to beat one opponent each week, your only mission is to avoid finishing dead last.
That key difference demands a different approach to guillotine league rankings.
How Guillotine League Rankings Are Different
Chasing upside is a key tenet of the best fantasy football strategy … for traditional leagues.
In guillotine leagues, consistency is king. You’re not hunting for ceiling-smashing explosions. You’re trying to dodge those week-killing landmines. A steady floor, both weekly and season-long, is what keeps you alive.
Our 3D Values already bake in floor projections for every player. For these guillotine rankings, we’ve cranked up the emphasis on those floor projections even further.
We’ve also made manual adjustments for:
- Players who are at risk of missing the start of the season due to injury or suspension
- Rookies (who tend to get off to slower starts)
- Bye weeks (later byes are a sneaky edge in this format)
Below you’ll find guillotine rankings for:
