Week Four Recap
Iceman Shelved vs Legion of Squirrels
Victory is mine! Iceman gets their first win of the season, and it was never really in doubt. Best showing of the season for my team.
What Went Right
1- Bryce Young- Young was my number one key to the week. He needed a bounce back after putting up single digits a week ago. He responded with 25 this week, edging out a 1 point win at the QB position.
2- Kyle Monangai- I had RB as a whole listed as a key and they gave me a slight edge without Monangai, his 26 points allowed me to roll up a big win at RB.
3- Jaylen Waddle- I listed Waddle and Burden as keys, hoping they could combine to equal Chris Olave’s output. Waddle outscored Olave on his own.
4- Ka’imi Fairbairn- Is it any surprise that the best week from my kicker came in a week where I won?
What Went Wrong
1- Colston Loveland- Loveland won the TE matchup but that was only because my opponent put up a goose egg. Still looking for that breakthrough game from Loveland.
2- Josh Downs- I really thought I found a gem at WR on my bench, then he throws up 2 points in a game where the Colts scored 30.
3- Jeremiyah Love- Love reminded me of the ups and downs of a rookie. In a wild shootout, Love only managed 5 points.
Week 5 Preview
Iceman Shelved vs Dawgs of the Gridiron
Iceman is a pretty significant underdog as I look to continue my winning ways. Bye weeks start and it hits me as I’m down to my third QB.
Keys to Victory
1- Michael Penix Jr- Penix gets the start for Iceman as Caleb Williams remains sidelined and Bryce Young has his bye. Atlanta has been on a roll offensively, though that’s been mostly on the ground. I’m hoping Penix can stay within ten points of Stafford.
2- Kyle Monangai & Jerimiyah Love- My opponent has a slight advantage, on paper, at RB, but I think I can overcome that. Monangai & Love both have very favorable matchups. I think the projection on Monangai, in particular, is low.
3- Colston Loveland & Kyle Pitts- Although neither has had that breakthrough game yet, I’m back to my two tight end lineup. I need both to hit their projections, at minimum. A breakout from one of them would be huge.
4- New York Giants defense- This isn’t a good week for streaming defenses and the Giants were the best one out there. Washington gets Jayden Daniels back, which could be a problem. The projection is low, but I think the Giants can double that.
