Head to the Chop Tab. Its Chopping Block shows live projected standings all week, flipped upside down so the lowest scorer sits at the top — you'll spot who's sweating instantly. If you land in the “Danger” zone you're dangerously close to being chopped; “Safe” is exactly where you want to be.

Survival is the whole game, so draft for consistency over upside — boom-or-bust rookies are risky when one bad week ends your season. Managing your FAAB budget matters too: when a star hits waivers after a chop, do you spend big now or save for later when more talent shakes loose? Those calls make or break your run.

Nope — Chopped Leagues are last-team-standing, so there's no playoff bracket. The season just runs until one team remains.

Total season points. If two teams tie for the lowest score, whoever has fewer points on the season gets chopped. In Week 1 specifically, the team with the better draft position is the one sent home.

Trades are off by default to keep things fair and waiver-wire focused. Your commissioner can turn them on if your league wants them.
