Week 14 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig. Thanks for your help this year.

Ppr 6pts TD

Dalton or Big Ben?

Flex

Parker or Crabtree?

ben

parker

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Does he really reply to all of these? sounds like a full time job. ok back to work

WDIS? High performance league 6pt QB TDs plus bonus for completion percentage, completions, and rushing and rushing average yards per carry.

Brees at Tampa or T.Taylor at Philly?

Brees on the road? Taylor on fire?

tt

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Ivory for green beckham dynasty? Standard scoring. Thanks!

even deal, lean DGB

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

If you had A Rodgers or Ben, would you roster someone like Smith, Luck, or Winston as a backup in case of injury or just stream if necessary?

no backup

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Good morning Bloom and good luck to your leagues as well.

I have a first round bye this week. I currently own Luck and Eli. Eli is my backup but has bad matchups in weeks 15 (vs Carolina) and 16 (@Minn) so I need to stash a QB incase Luck does not return. My options are:

Fitzpatrick week 15 (@ Dallas) week 16 (vs NE)

Tannehill week 15 (@ SD) week 16 (vs Ind)

Alex Smith week 15 (@ Bal) week 16 (vs Clev)

Mariota week 15 (@NE) week 16 (vs Hou)

Or do I keep Eli?

fitz

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Number 1 seed, but I simply can't take another injury. With only Freeman and Yeldon left with a bunch of backups on the bench (and now stevie's down0, who's the safest bet for a flex spot?

Polk

Hightower

Kerwynn

Juwan

That's my order, agree/disagree?

Editing to add Hightower since the recent Ingram news came out.

lean juwan, lets see what the news is out of denver tomorrow

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

10 Team PPR+Return (Full team below)

Looking to drop Lafell and pick up either Gin or DGB who are available (also avail are Hartline/Snead/Kerwynn) for Flex

-- Couldn't wait so I went with DGB --

At RB have to choose between C. West or Powell (Currently West)

Flex I currently have Decker and Sanders but would have any above or V. Jackson / Diggs

Thanks again Sig!

west

vjax over sanders

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks in advance Sig!

PPR League, pick 1 RB and 1 QB

Bernard vs Pitt

Hill vs Pitt

Hillman vs Oakland

Bortles vs Indy

Brady @ Hou

Roethlisburger @ Cincy

Last question, do you think Eifert will play this Sunday vs Pitt?

Thank you again!!!

bernard brady (wont talk you out of ben) yes

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks for the help all year. I don't always do what you suggest, but I love getting opinions and trying to see if I'm missing something.

1) Full point PPR. Need 3 RB, 1 WR, 1 Flex

TJ Yeldon (I'm pretty locked in on this one)

Buck Allen (Bad matchup/Game flow? although that could mean more passes)

Chris Ivory (not a great matchup, Powell a factor, although likely more favorable game flow this week)
Charcandrick West (good SD matchup, but will he get enough volume vs Ware vulture)

Ronnie Hillman (maybe depends on CJA news? is that enough to move him up above others?)

Doug Baldwin (seems to be focus of passing game now)

John Brown (starting to look healthier, MIN defense banged up,)

Jarvis Landry (Knee bothering him?)
Devante Parker (2nd fiddle to Landry? )

2) Been riding Andy Dalton at QB in a different league (4 pt TDs, -3Pt INTs, otherwise standard) With a bye this week I'll definitely be playing week 16 (either in championship or 3rd place game), so I'm wondering if you would just ride with Dalton against tough Denver Defense or pick up a QB from waiver scrubs with better matchups (Cousins v PHI, Cutler v. TB look like best options; Mariota, Matt Ryan, also available). Been eyeing Cousins because of PHI matchup but juggling roster spots for issues at other positions in that league so I haven't picked him up and honestly not really sure I trust him. Would probably have to drop banged up stevie johnson, but he could be back by then to haunt me on another team. If Eifert comes back i could possibly drop by backup TE (z.miller) but that would be risky at this point with his injury.

Thanks again.

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Thanks as always for doing this. In PPR, where I'm a 20-point dog, I've got the following pencilled in:

QB: Brady

RB: Rawls

WR1: Cooks

WR2: Dez

WR/RB Flex 1: DMC

WR/RB Flex 2: Lamar Miller

TE: Chandler/Gronk

TD: Denver

Any substitutions you'd recommend at WR or Flex? Here are my bench options:

RB: CJA, West, Ware

WR: Michael Floyd, DeVante Parker

Thanks!

DR

floyd in cooks out, since you're an underdog i would go ware over DMC

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks as always for doing this Sig.

I was able to secure a bye this week, but I need some RB help for the playoffs since all mine are old, fragile, and not exactly reliable.

12-team, .5PPR league, short bench.

Current roster:

QB: Brady, Carr

RB: DMC, Gore, Duke Johnson, Herron

WR: Nuk, Calvin, Allen Robinson, VJax, Stevie Johnson

TE: Walker

start: QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, Flex

Best available RB's:

• Bilal Powell
• Darren Sproles
• Chris Polk
• Jonathan Grimes
• Joique Bell
• Stepfan Taylor
• Brandon Bolden
• David Cobb
• Chris Thompson

Edit: Adding both Marcus Murphy and Tim Hightower with the recent news on Ingram

Any advise on who to pick up/ drop would be greatly appreciated.

thanks again

drop stevie for powell

 

[FGITLOTR]

Hey Sig!

Floyd over Fitz in a non-ppr?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig!

Would you make any change in those lineups (starters in bold)

Team 1 PPR (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 TE)

Brees, Cutler, Tannehill

Rawls, Sims, Hill, Riddick, Blue, Cobb, Mason

David Johnson, Miller, Ivory, Ware

Hopkins, AJ Green, Robinson, Landry, Martavis Bryant, John Brown

Team 3 NON-PPR (1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR)

Wilson, Roethlisberger

A Peterson, Ingram***, Miller, Charcandrick West, Ware

Jeffery, Fitzgerald, Demaryius Thomas, Martavis Bryant, Cooper

*** Who should I add to replace Ingram: Spiller, Hightower, White, Draughn, Yeldon, Javorius Allen, Matt Jones, Sims or Langford?

Roethlisberger, Carr

DeAngelo Williams, Gore, Ware, Langford, Herron

Robinson, Decker, Landry, TY Hilton, Moncrief

McManus (or drop him for Steve Hauschka)

Thanks in advance!

1: hill over sims

tate over cooks

2: ivory over miller

3: yeldon

4: hilton over landry

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

If you had no other choice this weekend, Mathews or D. Murray?

mathews

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Semi finals, playing for a spot in the championship

0.5 PPR

Just lost Ingram

I need to fill my RB2 and flex

Options: Dez, Gore, Giovani, Hurns

Dez's ceiling is appealing with his revenge game narrative but... Matt. Cassell..

Gore has been ailing this year to say the least.

Gio is inconsistent

Don't think I can get myself to play hurns until we see it

Also, Jets or Lions DST? (assuming Revis plays)

Here is who I start as is:

QB: Big Ben

RB: Devonta, ??

WR: Julio, Fitz

TE: Kelce

Flex ??

DST: ??

K: Gano

dez gore Jets

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I have Carr and Rivers and Luck as my QBs now. Should I hold on to all three and play upside matchups or is one droppable to re-acquire Ayaji as my Miller handcuff

drop rivers

 

[Johnnymac]

Hi Sig,

Need your help with WR position

pick 3

Dem Thomas

John Brown

Nuk

Dav Parker

Green-Beckham

T. Lockett

Thanks!

 

[Arnold. S]

0.5PPR league, should I wait and start at flex Hightower/Spiller/Juwan Thompson or start John Brown tonight? Lost Foster, LBell, DLewis, now Ingram thus far in this league...

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

I own Ingram and Miller. Short bench. Should I drop Ajayi to pick up Hightower?

Thanks for your time!

only if you have no other viable option

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Any reason I should trust the news on Lacy and start him over DeSean in a .5 ppr flex spot?

nah. i mean MAYBE if the weather in Chicago is as bad as forecast or we hear Lacy will start and get big workload

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Just received this trade offer.

Larry Fitzgerald

For

Sammy Watkins

Desean Jackson

I would be receiving Fitz in the trade. Can only start 3 WR's and one of Watkins or Desean sit on my bench behind ODB and D. Thomas. I like Fitz going forward over those 2 but believe that I may be giving up too much. He doesn't have anything else on his roster that could help my team that he would give up.

Thanks.

nah

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Favored in the semi-final playoff game this week. Standard scoring (0.04 pts/yd, 4 pts passing TD, -2 pts INT; 0.10 pts/yd rush or receiving, 6 pts TD, -2 pts fumble, no bonuses), 12-team league...I'm leaning towards starting the bolded players:

QB: Newton, Roethlisberger

RB: Rawls

RB: Forte

WR: Julio

WR: Hopkins

FLEX: Baldwin, Buck Allen, Crabtree, Hillman, Lockett, Ajayi

TE: Walker, Julius Thomas

K: Santos

DST: Cardinals

Questions:

1. Stay with Cam @ QB, even though there might be a shoot out with Ben against Cincy in must-win game?
2. Ride Baldwin's hot streak and tasty match up against Baltimore for the FLEX spot, or do I go with safer floors in Buck Allen or Hillman?
3. Stay with Walker at TE even though tough match up against the Jets? Thinking "yes," because he's the number one option.

Thanks for the advice! Appreciate your time to answer our questions.

yes to all 3

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1) .5 PPR; which TWO ONE out of the following:

John Brown vs. Vikings (starting w/ news of Cooks at risk of being out)

Brandin Cooks @ Bucs

Leg Blount @ Texans

Matt Jones @ Bears

---------------------------------------

2) 6 pts/any TD; -2 pts/Int; 1 pt/25 yds; which one?

Drew Brees @ Bucs

Matt Hasselbeck @ Jags

---------------------------------------

3) .5 PPR; which one?

Travis Kelce vs. Chargers

Antonio Gates @ Chiefs

Hey Bloom...

Many thanks for all you do for all of us.

Last week of our regular season and am on the edge of playoff inclusion. Our playoffs go from week 15-17. Pretty solid at most spots, but need D help this week...and playoffs (fingers crossed). Currently have the Titans, but would like to upgrade (and don't like the NE matchup in week 15) and need your help. These are available...please let me know which would be your top 3 in order of possible.

GB (Dal, Oak, AZ, Min)

Det (Stl, NO, SF, Chi)

Mia (NYG, SD, Ind, NE)

Buf (Phi, Was, Dal, NYJ)

TB (NO, STL, Chi, Car)

Thanks a million!!!

Hi Bloom,

With Gurley's decline and Luck out, I've been QB streaming which is fine, but concerned about RB heading into the playoffs.

The team with Adrian Peterson is in the basement, so I was thinking of the trade offer below. thoughts?

0.5 ppr/ 10 teams/ dynasty/ 20 man roster/ 10 starters: QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 DEF, 1 PK

Adrian Peterson + Sammy Watkins for Moncrief + D. Adams, L. Murray and J. Langford (debating the last one).

QB: Luck, Fitz

RB: Gurley, Hill, Woodhead, Rawls and B. Powell

WR: ODB, Evans, A. Jeffrey, Jordy, Hopkins and Perriman

TE: Kelce and Eifert

do it if youre getting peterson/watkins yes easy

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

A dupe post with questions got burried a few pages back with at least a dozen questions asked that don't appear in this thread and I'm sure you would like to not disappoint anyone who was expecting an answer.

Hi Sig,

Playoff play-in game in 2QB (PPR, if that matters) league. Choose two QB from: P. Rivers, T. Taylor, T. Bridgewater, M. Hasselbeck

No viable QBs on waivers.

I think Taylor is an autostart, so that leaves one from Rivers, Teddy, Hasselbeck.

Your thoughts?

[Sigmund Bloom]

Good evening Sigmund,

On a scale of 1-10, how insane am I considering starting Bortles over Rodgers this week?

Also debating Jeremy Hill vs Charcandarick West and Reed vs Eifert.

not insane at all. 2.

[Sigmund Bloom]

What are your thoughts on dropping Demarco to pick up a handcuff or a back with upside (PPR league)? Really thinking about picking up Spencer Ware, Theo Riddick (great week 15 matchup), or James White. If so, which of these three would you target?

Should I hold onto Woodhead as well or drop him for one of these three? His week 15 and 16 matchups look good but has not been used the last couple of weeks.

Big Ben has been great for me. But he's playing a team he shat the bed against last time he played them. i do have ALEX SMITH on my bench and WINSTON is available on FA. However, I don't think this is a time to get cute with my roster: leave with the girl that brought you to the dance. Agree? (4pt/TD, 1pt/50 yds, -2/INT)

Pick 2 in PPR: Marsh, Stevie, Cooper, Parker (leaning Marsh & Stevie if he plays. I don't trust WRs against that DEN secondary.

Pick 2 in STD: Cooper, Watkins, TY, Baldwin (leaning Watkins & Baldwin)

Thanks!

2 QB Superlex.

Hey Sig...

Wondering what to do at RB this week. 0.5 ppr.

Any help greatly appreciated!
