Week 12 Recap

Trash Pandas vs Prestige Worldwide

Big win to finish off the non-division slate for the Trash Pandas, and I didn’t need to sweat this one out. This win vaulted me into a three way tie atop my division, as of now I own the tiebreaker since I’m 3-0 in the division. A lot can happen over the next three weeks, but I feel good about this team.

Trevor Lawrence started at QB for me due to Justin Herbert’s bye week. Lawrence acquitted himself well, putting up 25 points, but I lost the QB matchup by 10.

My WRs were a disappointment, Jordan Addison was shut out, while Rome Odunze & Luther Burden III each managed only 5 points. I lost the WR battle, 16-10.

Andy Borregales had an awesome week, scoring 34 points, and any other week my kicker would have had a strong case for MVP, but not this week.

I won this week because of one man. My first round draft pick, Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs had an all-time monster fantasy week putting up an astounding 67 points!

Week 13 Preview

Trash Pandas vs Achilles Heels

Projected Lineups & Reserves

Previous Matchup

Week 1 Result

I picked up my first ever victory over the Achilles Heels in Week 1, despite making some serious managerial mistakes. I’m heavily favored in this rematch, though I think the odd will narrow considerably once they get Nix, Achane & Waddle into the lineup. Even still, I like my chances.

The Heels are one of the two teams I’m tied with for the division lead, so a win here would be huge.

My keys to the week:

  1. TreVeyon Henderson: Henderson has a really good matchup this week and he got the bulk of the work last week, even with Rhamondre Stevenson back. Problem was, Stevenson vultured some red zone touches. I need Henderson to assert his dominance not just for this week, but for the remainder of the season.
  2. Justin Herbert: Herbert’s last outing was miserable and Trevor Lawrence has a good matchup, but so does Herbert and I’m banking on a bounce back week.
  3. Bhayshul Tuten: I’m putting Tuten into my lineup out of frustration with my WRs. I may change my mind, but Tuten has a pretty good matchup.
  4. Jahmyr Gibbs: My bell cow carried me to a win last week and he’s really the key to my whole season. Funny enough, he’s got the exact same matchup he did the first time I played the Heels. It didn’t go well then, but this one is in Detroit.
