Iceman Cometh: Recap & Preview

Week 6 Recap

Iceman Cometh vs The Tweedle Beetles

Somehow, some way, Iceman found a way to vanquish our nemesis, and the defending league champion and save our season, for now. Yes, we went back to our original name with the return of Caleb Williams.

What Went Right

  • Kansas City Chiefs defense- This is why I love streaming defenses, you can pluck a good scoring week off the waiver wire.
  • Caleb Williams- His return means everything to this team. He didn’t have a monster week, but he did win the QB matchup. His return also elevated Luther Burden III and…
  • Colston Loveland- Loveland finally had the week I was expecting when I protected him from last season. I expect big things moving forward.
  • Ashton Jeanty- Jeanty finally scored a rushing touchdown, which helped him put up double digits. That’s all I ask of any of my players.

What Went Wrong

  • Emmanuel Wilson- Every time I go with Wilson, he lays an egg. To make matters worse, I opted for three RBs instead of an extra WR or TE.
  • Josh Downs- I thought Downs had a really good matchup, but 4 points is pathetic. There were two much better receivers on my roster in that matchup.
  • Bad Management- It ultimately didn’t cost me, but I left Kyle Pitts & Carnell Tate on my bench. Had I played both, instead of Wilson & Downs, I wouldn’t have had to sweat out Brock Purdy on Monday night.
Kansas City Chiefs defense paced Iceman with 20 points.

Week 7 Preview

Iceman Cometh vs Delta House Blutarskys

Projected Lineups & Reserves.

Iceman is a significant underdog in this one, and that’s mostly because it’s a total mismatch, on paper, at WR. I do think I have a way to counteract that, though.

Keys to Victory

  • Caleb Williams- Basically, Williams is the key to the rest of my season. If he has a good game, the chances are that Luther Burden III & Colston Loveland do as well. If that happens, we have a pretty good shot at winning.
  • Tight Ends- I’m going with the rare 3 TE lineup this week. I think all of their projections are too low and I think this is where I can make up the deficit from WR. Loveland should start producing more now that Caleb Williams is back. Kyle Pitts is getting red zone looks for Atlanta & TJ Hockenson got double digit targets the last full game he played.
  • Jaylen Waddle- The Broncos offense, and by extension, Waddle, have been largely disappointing this year, but they have a plus matchup this week. Waddle outperforming his projection would go a long way to giving us the victory.
  • Woody Marks- We need better production out of our RBs, and that’s really on the RB2. This week it’s Marks. He has a decent matchup and Houston is starting to click.
