Week 2 Recap

BJ & Da’Bears vs Achane in the Membrane

I continue to make managerial mistakes with this team. Thankfully, this week I was able to overcome those mistakes.

Caleb Williams had the monster week I’ve been waiting for. He’s been solid thus far, but this week he showed the elite fantasy potential that made him my only keeper from last season.

Running back continues to be an area of concern for this team. I’m anxiously waiting for the TreVeyon Henderson breakout game. I’m not sure how much longer I can afford to wait, to complicate matters I don’t have many options behind him.

It didn’t help matters that Baltimore’s defense scared me enough to keep David Montgomery on the bench. That was 25 points I squandered, luckily I didn’t need them.

I have issues at WR, too. Brian Thomas Jr continues to be a major disappointment, and trust me, I’m ready to move on from my first round pick. Keon Coleman has done little since I inserted him into my lineup. It’s time to put him back on my bench.

Rome Odunze is quickly becoming a legit WR1 in fantasy football and I can feel a breakout game coming for Tetairoa McMillan. Quentin Johnston has earned a spot in my starting lineup and I question what took me so long.

Trey McBride finally found the end zone and won the TE matchup for me handily.

While Caleb Williams wins my week 3 MVP, the real difference this week was defense. I streamed the Seattle Seahawks, who put up 27 points. Meanwhile, my opponent’s defense put up a goose egg. I won by 23 points.

It’s always nice to get the first win. It’s especially gratifying that a big reason you won is because the QB-WR combo from your favorite team is producing like you envisioned.

Week 4 Preview

BJ & Da’Bears vs Hung Like Hernandez

My week 4 opponent has been one of the better teams in this league for years. It’s always a daunting task going up against him.

A quick glance at our prospective lineups makes me think I have a decent chance this week.

Josh Allen is a slight advantage over Caleb Williams, but Allen also plays the Saints and Buffalo could be in run mode for most of the second half.

We have similar running back situations, a steady if unspectacular veteran and a rookie that hasn’t quite hit his stride yet. This matchup could be decided by the running back position.

I think I have a slight advantage at WR, mainly because Ja’Marr Chase takes a hit without Joe Burrow.

TE is a battle of titans with Brock Bowers going against Trey McBride. I’d give the slight advantage to Bowers, but the Raiders haven’t been focusing their offense on him, yet,

This matchup could come down to defense, again, and that’s where my concern lies. I’m going to stream either Washington, Carolina or the NY Jets. It’s not a great week to stream defenses, hopefully I make the right choice.

I think the keys for my team this week are:

1. Caleb Williams: I don’t need him to be Superman, again, though that would be nice. I just need him to keep it close vs Josh Allen.
2. Trey McBride: McBride finally had that TE1 kind of week and I need him to keep it up. Brock Bowers is going to break out sooner or later, I need McBride to keep pace.
3. Brian Thomas Jr & TreVeyon Henderson: This was my first and third draft picks, respectively, I need them to start producing like it. I have more confidence in Henderson, to be frank.
4. I need my streamed defense to do something. My opponent has Denver going against Cincinnati and turnover prone Jake Browning. If my defense doesn’t do show up, it could cost me this game.
