Week Five Recap

Trash Pandas vs Lanc Lanc Underdawgs

Tough loss for the Pandas. We had a chance to go 2-3 and get back in this race, but fell short in a couple areas.

What Went Wrong
  • Michael Penix Jr- I made the right choice at QB, but the position continues to be my Achilles heel. Yet to get 20 points out of my QB. Now, Penix may be out.
  • Chase Brown- Brown has not come close to meeting his draft status yet. He had a plus matchup and only managed 5 points.
  • Roman Wilson- Luther Burden III wasn’t good, but at least he got points. Wilson exited with injury and a giant goose egg.
What Went Right
  • Jahmyr Gibbs- When you have a fantasy performer like Gibbs, you shouldn’t be 1-4. He’s been an absolute stud so far.
  • Brock Bowers- Damn, it’s good to have him back. Even in a tough TE matchup against Trey McBride, Bowers won big.
  • Ollie Gordon II- What a great waiver wire add. He’s been excellent, too bad I have to cut him loose.
Jahmyr Gibbs had another monster week, putting up 38 points.

Week Six Preview

Trash Pandas vs The Injured Reserves

Projected Lineups & Reserves

In a normal week, I’d probably be the favorite in this matchup, but this just happens to be the bye week from hell. My top three RBs are on bye. Right now, I only have one active RB, but I do have a trade proposal in that could net me Bryce Young & Kenneth Gainwell.

Keys to Victory
  • Brock Bowers- I’m really leaning on Bowers this week. I need one of his Superman efforts if I’m going to have any shot.
  • Quarterback- If my trade proposal gets accepted this will be Young. If not, I’ll probably go with Michael Penix Jr. QB has been the problem area for this team. If I have any chance to win, I need that to change this week.
  • Woody Marks- Right now, Marks is my only active RB. He doesn’t have the greatest matchup, but he should be the clear lead back for Houston.
  • Wide Receivers- I really need one of Luther Burden III, Xavier Worthy or Keon Coleman to show out. My WRs have not been good this year, now would be a good time to change that.
