Iceman Shelved: Recap & Preview

Posted by henpunk2 on October 1, 2026

Week 3 Recap

Off the Post vs Iceman Cometh

I never stood a chance in this one. Afterwards, I decided to temporarily change my team name since Caleb Williams is on IR.

Not much went right for me this week, though Ashton Jeanty & Jeremiyah Love continue to be solid RBs.

My WRs disappointed. To make things worse, I benched Luther Burden III because I wasn’t sure about the Bears offense, and he had his best week of the season thus far.

Bryce Young had his first real dud of the season. It had to happen when I thrust him into the starting lineup, of course.

The TE position has been the main culprit in my struggles this season. I planned on Kyle Pitts & Colston Loveland being a huge part of my team, and neither has done much of anything, thus far.

**Jeremiyah Love** led my squad with 18 points, his highest output of his career, so far.

Week 4 Preview

Iceman Shelved vs Legion of Squirrels

To say this is a must win would be an understatement. I’m a slight favorite, for now, but I expect that to change by Sunday.

Keys to Victory

1- Bryce Young: If I’m going to have any chance of scoring my first victory, I cannot have Young put up single digits again.

2- Colston Loveland: I’m back to starting Loveland this week. TE has been a major disappointment, thus far. To turn my season around, I need both to start putting up points.

3- Running Backs: On paper, I have a slight advantage here. Ashton Jeanty & Jeremiyah Love have been decent, thus far. It would be nice if one of them has a breakout game. I’m also rolling with Kyle Monangai, if I can win the RB position by 15-20 points, I should be able to get a win.

4- Jaylen Waddle & Luther Burden III: My opponent has Chris Olave, which gives him a distinct advantage at WR. I’m hoping that, combined, Waddle & Burden can offset Olave.

Trash Pandas Recap & Preview

Week 3 Recap

Furry’s Felines vs Trash Pandas

Another week, another loss.

There were some positives in this one, though.

Jahmyr Gibbs continues to be an absolute fantasy stud. I figured this would be my last season with Gibbs on my roster, but at my current trajectory, I could end up in a position to draft him once again.

Welcome back, Brock Bowers. It wasn’t enough to push me over the top, this week, but I’m pretty sure Bowers is going to get me a win sooner or later.

Luther Burden III showed signs of life this week with his first double digit output of the season.

Unfortunately, my early season struggles can be pinpointed to the quarterback position. Justin Herbert has been a colossal bust. I have no hope at contention if I can’t get something out of the QB position.

**Jahmyr Gibbs** had another spectacular performance, putting up 34 points.

Week Four Preview

Trash Pandas vs Xandar Guardians

Battle of the two worst teams in the league, and it’s a division tilt. The winner could get themselves back in the race, the loser is more than likely in for a long, long season.

The Pandas are significant favorites in this one.

Keys to Victory

1- Brock Bowers: Bowers returned last week and did what I drafted him to do. Dominate the tight end position. He’s my X factor. A fantasy cheat code. His presence, alone, can be the difference between a win and a loss.

2- Chase Brown: Jahmyr Gibbs is going to do his thing, which will always give me a leg up at the RB spot, but I need Brown to start hitting like a low end RB1 instead of a middle of the pack RB2 like he has been.

3- Quarterback: I have a claim in on Michael Penix Jr, but I won’t know until Friday morning if I get him. If I miss out, I may pivot to Jameis Winston. The bottom line is that I’m just not sure I can keep starting Justin Herbert. Herbert is a big reason why I’m 0-3 at this point.

4- Luther Burden III: Burden had his best game of the season last week, finally putting up double digits. If I’m going to turn my season around, I need him to keep that momentum.
