[Advice] First time playing in a guillotine league, any advice on how to prepare for my squad's weaknesses?

After nearly 20 years of playing non-PPR, I tried out some free ESPN PPR leagues last year and enjoyed it so this year I tried out a free beginners guillotine league for fun.

My roster seems fairly balanced to start and in week 1 I ended up with the highest projected point differential from the last place projected team. I wanted to go for consistent reliable production instead of people who could have big games but also flop badly.

Trying to figure out how to best prepare for my team's weaknesses, any advice is appreciated.

  • QB : Hurts

  • RB: Judkins

  • RB: Price

  • WR: Chase

  • WR: Rice

  • TE: Juwan Johnson

  • FLEX: JCM

  • D/ST: Ravens

  • K: Aubrey

  • Bench: Saints D, Malik Washington, Chris Rodriguez, Allegier, Dontayvion Wicks

I had the first pick overall so I missed out on a lot of middle talent having to wait 34 picks between my b2b picks.

Questions/Advice

  • The rosters of the worst projected teams don't really have anyone I'm too keen on besides a QB, since I don't have one, should I try to get a backup QB?

  • My first two bye week players are Chase in Week 5 and Rice in Week 6, notable anchors of my team. I'm hoping a team with a good receiver gets eliminated in the early rounds and I can bid, but should I try to spend a lot?

  • Planning to get an insurance back in case Jadarian Price struggles out of the gate.

FHSA CFWD Participation Room Help

Hey everyone, assisting a client who missed declaring their T4FHSA and S15 the year they opened and contributed.

Have fixed their 2024 and 2025 T1 (and S15), but just want to make sure I am understanding the max rollover participation room amount rule before I advise them on their 2026 contribution limit. I am going to tell them to check their participation room statement on their final NOA but just want to make sure my internal math is right as well.

Opened: 2024

2024 Contribution: 6100

2025 Contribution: 1200

Is my following reasoning correct?

> Entering 2025, they had unused participation room 2024 CFWD of $1900 plus their 2025 room of $8000 (Total room 2025: $9900). However they only put in $1200. The $1900 CFWD from 2024 we ignore now.. We take 1200 out of $8000 and that is $6800. Because $6800 is less than $8000, it can be CFWD into 2026 as participation room. So in 2026 they get a fresh $8000 room + $6800 = Total: $14800 available to be contributed?

This is what I did from my math calculation and this website I checked after gives me the same number I got: https://www.financialpipeline.com/calculators/fhsa-contribution-room-calculator/

However my tax software seems to say unused FHSA participation room of $8700 is being CFWD to 2026 and I believe that is wrong because the max is $8000 (I think this is happening because corrections were made individually in each tax year's file and the S15 data wasn't rolled over fresh). If this is indeed incorrect, I am going to override the CFWD to $6800 so when it is time to file tax next year, the proper CFWD is retrieved.

If I am wrong, can someone please correct me and tell me what the 2026 contribution room amount is?
