BJ & Da’Bears: Week 9 Recap & Week 10 Preview

Week 9 Recap

BJ & Da’Bears vs Delta House Blutarskys

I said in my preview of this matchup that my roster could look a lot different by Sunday, and it did. I traded away David Montgomery, Quentin Johnston & Kimani Vidal. I now have 2 fifth round & 2 sixth round picks in next year’s draft.

On top of that, my team went out and won! It is still an uphill battle for me to make the playoffs, and I still may trade away some players, but unlike a week ago, I think there may be some guys that I’ll take off the block.

Caleb Williams took advantage of his plus matchup against Cincinnati’s defense and put up his best week since week 3, scoring 41 points, winning the QB matchup by 29 points.

After trading away Montgomery & Vidal, I was left with no healthy running backs that weren’t on bye after Rhamondre Stevenson was ruled out, so I hit the secondary waiver wire and added Kyle Monangai & Bhayshul Tuten. Monangai had a huge game, even without scoring a TD, Tuten did get a touchdown and I won the RB battle, 25-6.

None of my receivers were good, but at least Brian Thomas Jr & Tetairoa McMillan scored some points. Rome Odunze was completely shut out by the worst defense in the NFL. I lost the WR matchup 22-8.

Trey McBride continued his hot streak with 11 points, helping me win the TE battle, 16-3.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention my kicker, Ka’imi Fairbairn, hitting 5 field goals and winning the kicker matchup, 18-5.

He wasn’t my top scorer, but for putting up 17 points a day after I plucked him off the free agent wire, Kyle Monangai gets my MVP.

Week 10 Preview

BJ & Da’ Bears vs The Juice Is Loose

Projected Lineups & Reserves

These lineups could look very different come Sunday. My opponent will hit the waiver wire for a kicker and probably make a QB change and possibly a few others.

I’ve kept the trade block open, looking for draft picks, but I did make Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze, Trey McBride & Colston Loveland unavailable.

This is a winnable game for me and if I get back to 4-6, I might still have a shot to make the playoffs.

Here are my keys to the week:

  1. Rome Odunze: I survived Odunze putting up zero points this past week, but I need him to start producing like the WR1 he was in the early season.
  2. Trey McBride: McBride has really taken off the last few weeks and if I have any hope of sneaking into the playoffs, he needs to continue his hot streak.
  3. Kyle Monangai: Swift might be back for the Bears and I may not end up playing Monangai, but he could still help me if he gets more of an equal time share in the Bears backfield.
  4. Colston Loveland: I drafted Loveland and held on to him for a reason, we saw a glimpse this past week. If he establishes himself as a solid weekly flex play, he could be a cheap TE1 for me for years.
