Need Advice on Survivor League

Been in a standard 12 team league for over 20 years. First time doing this survivor thing. 18 teams and I draft 8th.

I’m assuming by survivor, you mean guillotine or chopped league. The only difference in strategy is that you want more consistency in your team. Look for players with high floors instead of high ceilings.
Just remember, you don’t have to be first…just don’t be last.
Another thing that is less common is drafting stacks. You don’t want your QB and one of your top WRs to have a bad day together.
As long as you can survive a few weeks, you’ll be hooked. It is one of the more exciting types of fantasy football.
Even more important than the draft is FAAB and how you spend it. Don’t spend early unless you need to for survival. The team that wins is not the team that builds the best team first, but the team that has money in November & December. You’ll be shocked when the same guy that went for $500 in September goes for $2 in late November.
It’s a blast. Enjoy.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that as teams are knocked out, their entire team goes to the WW

The draft takes several days because of work schedules etc. You have four hours to pick whenever it’s your turn. Not a huge fan but whatever. My team so far
St Brown
Javonte Williams
Travis Etienne
McLaren
That fills my starters ( RB WR Flex Flex)
My first ever guilotine draft
Question is. Do I go QB next. Taken are Allen, May, Jackson, Burrow, Williams, Daniels, Hurts. And some knuckle head took Purdy
Do I go Prescott here?

I’m assuming all 4 of the top tier TEs are taken? I would grab a QB. In this format maximizing your starters is more important than depth.

Yes all the top TEs were gone. I drafted Dak
