Also, in a standard league I need to pick 2 of these 3:

Donte Moncrief

[scam08]

Sig

Need to drop a RB in a standard non ppr league. Can start only 2 RBs.Have:

Bell

Gore

Ellington

Woodhead

Crowell

Matt Jones

D Lewis

Deangelo

C Mike

Really struggling with this. Thoughts?

Thanks

Ron

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What's the deal with Lamar Miller aside from his injury? Was he over-ranked and overdrafted this year? Will he rebound?

Would you trade CJ Spiller for Lamar in PPR? Better asked, is Lamar a buy-low?

Thanks!!

miller over spiller but getting queasy thinking about both of them. I underestimated the playcalling/fickleness about riding Miller in Miami

 

[elbowrm]

PPR - would you trade A Foster for Dion Lewis?

 

[motoclube]

[ImTheScientist]

Brandin Cooks or Devonta Freeman? PPR....

 

[Kid_kong]

Pick a Flex. standard scoring 2 team redraft

A. Morris

M. Jones

A. Robinson

I was going to start Devonta as my RB2, but after seeing your rankings I need a RB too.

Thinking Jones and Robinson.

 

[DarkKnightsGuru]

My Rb are all falling apart.. Im 0-2 I have Lamar Miller, Andre Ellington, Chris Ivory,, Doug Martin and Hillman.. Should I trade Brandin Cooks for Dion Lewis..

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Opinion on Matt Jones rest of the year? Think he's end up being a difference maker in fantasy leagues this year?

boom bust RB2/Flex

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Rishard Matthews and Leonard Hankerson are on the WW in my 10-team NoPPR Dyno League. I have an open roster space and am considering adding one of them. Which is the better add for the season, which for long term? I am rebuilding, so I probably need to tilt toward the longer term value. Personally, I'm leaning Hankerson given the better offense (although MIA is trending up strong) and the fact that his main competition for WR2 on the team is an aging White. In the case of Matthews, his competition for WR2 on the team includes Parker and Stills, not to mention Cameron as a very capable pass catching TE. I would appreciate your thoughts on these two.

i think your logic is correct here

 

[jdoemer]

Need 2RBs and Flex (1/2 point PPR) - Gore, Foresett, J. Brown, Cooper, Randle, Sproles

Dalton or Kapernick?

RB and FLex (Standard Scoring) - D. Lewis, Gore, Martin, Abdullah, J. Brown, Moncrief

Thanks much!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I am 100% with you on Christine Michael taking over the Dallas backfield and is a priority add. Talent, opportunity, and situation are going to unite there. What are your thoughts on Dorial Green-Beckham? I am surprised you aren't more bullish on him using the same logic. Big athletic WR with an underachieving Harry Douglas ahead of him on the depth chart in an ascending offense. I think he is the C-Mike of the WR position.

im not sure that the offense and mariota's style is going to embrace 50/50 balls and throwing to a receiver that might be raw on route-running and timing. I like DGB long term, but Mariota seems to be mostly a rhythm passer so far.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

[Sigmund Bloom]

1 for 1 trade: give b/u QB for RB. FBG Top 200 forward says 1.Foster 2.Gurley 3. Lewis, trade dominator says 1. Lewis 2. Foster 3.Gurley-which way do I go? Thanks.

i would go foster lewis gurley, but lewis and foster very very close. all three desirable

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom I'm in a 12 team non ppr league and I have a WR3 question. Who do I start?

Vjax

Tate

Hankerson and I am going against Matt Ryan this week

vjax

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

With Brees injury where do you rank Brandon Cooks going forward ? Ppr league

low WR2/high WR3 PPR. slightly above golden tate

 

[MaxThreshold]

.5ppr, 1pt 10 yds rush/receiving, 6pt TD

can only start two of these three: Alfred Morris, Matt Jones or Devonta Freeman.

Really tough call for me. Thanks!

 

[3optic]

Sig,

16 team ppr with 2 flex spots

was offered

Demaryius, Cooks for my Allen Robinson, Evans, Abdulah.

My team

RB L. Bell, Woodhead, Abdulah, Crowell, Dunbar

WR Robinson, Evans, Fitz, Moncrief, S Johnson, Dorsett

TE ASJ, Tamme

QB Rivers

Shall I accept?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig, I am on the Dion Lewis train. Who would you rather have for rest of the year in PPR?

Ivory or Lewis?

What about Abdullah or Gore over Lewis? I am working trades to get Lewis and can only keep 4 RBs on roster. Start 2RB.

lewis over ivory with this injury issue. still love AA and Gore thats a lot closer. Feel like I might regret keeping AA over Lewis tho

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Vereen on Thursday Night vs. WAS OR Abdullah vs. DEN?

Need three guys this week out of: TY Hilton, MikeEvans, Stevie Johnson, John Brown, James JonesT

TIA!

sorry i missed this would have said AA

Brown

Hilton

Evans (nonppr)/Johnson (PPR)

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Is it ok to ask sit/start questions here? If so:

0.5 PPR, pick one:

Matt Jones

Terrance Williams

CJ Spiller

Chris Johnson

Thanks.

would have said jones, sorry i missed ya

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom,

Thank you for all that you do for the fantasy community. Your podcast is one of the best, and even if you predict incorrectly, your analysis is spot on. Thanks to you, I sold AMorris for FAAB which gave me room to pick up Dion Lewis before the Patriots first game in a PPR league.

My Question: PPR 12 team Dynasty. I have Gates on IR. QB, RB, WR, Flex, Flex, Flex, TE, DEF Kicker

Trade Robinson and C. Michael for Eifert... My gut says I should just deal with the wavier wire (its thin) or insist on a 1 for 1.

I have

Roethy

Forte

Dion Lewis

Karlos

Christine Michael

Crowell

David Johnson

Zenner

Julio

Evans

Watkins

Robinson

Floyd (AZ)

IR Gates/Gordan (CLE)

agree with your gut

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom.. appreciate you doing this every week.

1.) With Brady's WK4 bye coming up I need to look ahead.. my back-up is Stafford (playing @ SEA on MNF). Should I drop Stafford for Flacco (@ PITT on TNF) or Kaepernick (vs. GB)?

2.) If you HAD to drop one of these guys, who would it be?: Shane Vereen (non-ppr league), DeAngelo Williams (not a Bell owner), Christine Michael, or James Jones (my WR5 behind TY/Evans/JBrown/StevieJohnson)

sure flacco

vereen

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Was offered Forsett for Demarco straight up in a PPR league. I have Leveon and Crowell only. Got outbid on all the recent RB waivers. Would you suggest taking Forsett for a more reliable RB2?

i think so

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard Scoring:

Choose 1 WR: Allen Robinson, John Brown, Mike Evans

Martellus Bennett or Crockett Gilmore at TE?

Thanks for your help.

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need to pick two from this crop in 0.5 PPR, feel like there isn't a lot of separation, although Landry has been most consistent:

Jarvis Landry

John Brown

Amari Cooper

Donte Moncrief

Drop the Rams DEF vs Steelers this week? May not get them back if so.

John Brown or Allen Rob in 1 pt PPR?

Thanks

first 2 get a different D

coinflip, lean brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Dalton vs Ravens or Mariota vs Colts 6pt Td league

Jordan Matthews vs Jets or Moncrief vs Titans PPR

dalton

moncrief

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Team 1 - PPR

Question 1

Pick 2 RBs - Crowell, Lewis, Ameer, Ivory, Stewart, Martin

Pick 1 Flex - RBs above, plus John Brown, Allen Rob, Hopkins (if he goes), Moncrief

Starting A Brown and Cobb at WR.

Question 2

I feel very deep at WR and RB2s. I am trying to make a deal for J Charles. I offered Cobb and any two of my RBs. Would you do that regardless of who he picked at RB? What if I threw in another WR too or is that too much?

Team 2 - Non PPR

Pick 1 RB - CJ, Ameer, Gurley (if he goes) Starting Gore

Pick 1 WR - Steve Smith, john Brown, Allen Rob. Starting Calvin

Pick 1 flex - From above

Thank you as always!

lewis AA

brown

i like the deal if you can not give up AA or lewis

anderson

brown

robinson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom,

I'm on the Dion Lewis bandwagon--picked him up for free in one league and trying to trade for him in another. I believe he has top 10 PPR upside (top 5?), but also some risk, so I'm trying to slot his ROS value.

Would you trade Abdullah for him? What about Ingram?

As always, thanks for thinking deeply about these things.

Cheers!

im real close on AA. ingram is tougher. but with each week lewis keeps doing this, will look back and wish we had taken it. still feeling conservative when those names are mentioned, but nagging feeling i might be too conservative

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

WDIS @ flex? Matt Jones, Abdullah, or Montcrief?

moncrief PPR AA nonppr

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Trade question, PPR league. 10 rush yards per point, 20 receiving yards per point, all TDs 6 pts.

I'm trying to get Dion Lewis from an owner in a new league (don't know his tendencies),

My team:

QB: Palmer, Tanne

RB: Gore, Ivory, Forsett, Sproles

WR: AB, Amari Cooper, Allen Robinson, John Brown, Donte Moncrief

TE: Kelce, Heath Miller

His Team:

QB: Brady

RB: Charles, Lewis, Gio, Vareen, Dunbar

WR: Cobb, Edelman, Steve Smith, Victor Cruz, Roddy White

TE: Bennett

I was thinking a 2 for 2 trade to help him upgrade his WRs, something like

Lewis & White or Cruz for Any WR not named Antonio Brown and Any of my RBs.

How would you handle this trade situation. Tried to gauge his interest, but he didn't respond to email...

Thanks,

-Eric

works for me. gotta make an opening offer and be explicit that youre flexible

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Benched Cooks for Yeldon in my FLEX. Good call?

sure. prefer cooks in ppr tho

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Trade away Forsett to get Gore?

in nonppr. maybe not in ppr

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

When should one consider a preemptive pickup for B.Perriman and/or B.Lafell? Should M.Ball be included in this conversation as well?

just perriman right now. dont even know what is up with lafell yet

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What are the chances Bradshaw gets signed to an RB needy team in the next 2 weeks?

watching robinson im surprised IND hasn't signed him

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

My team is 0-2 and I'm worried it's full of RB2/WR2 types. How aggressively would you pursue a 2-for-1 upgrade for an RB1/WR1 and which players would you look to ship out in a package?

12tm PPR Redraft, 2RB/2WR/TE/Flex

QB: Rivers (Kaep, Dalton on WW)

RB: CJ Anderson, M.Ingram, A.Foster, D.Woodhead, C.Michael

WR: Megatron, K.Allen, D.Moncrief, WW fodder

TE: G.Olsen

hold foster and mega be willing to 2 for 1 w everyone else

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Worth dropping D Williams for C Michael considering the value of the handcuff or other options? Also, looking to trade for a top tier WR1 or ascending WR2, thoughts on the RBs most suited to a 2 for 1 for someone like Beckham Jr, or a WR2 to target? (John Brown for Ivory perhaps?)

10 team espn standard:

QB - Luck

RB - Lev Bell, A Foster, T Gurley, Ivory, D Martin, Woodhead, Deangelo Williams

WR - Hopkins, Cooks, Landry, Moncrief

TE - Eifert, J Cameron

D/ST - Jets

K - Mcmanus

woodhead is good to trade in a standard. i would hold williams for now

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

I'm in a 12 team, .3 PPR league where we get to keep 3 players at their round value. We start 2RB, 2WR and 1 flex. I am wondering if I should trade Ellington (can't be kept), Jarvis (kept for 2 years at 5th round value) and David Johnson (FA keeper - 2 more years) for John Brown (5th round keeper - 2 years) and Dion Lewis (FA keeper - 2 years). I also have Forte, ODB, Moncrief, Brandon Marshall, CJ Spiller and Christine Michael as my WRs and RBs currently. Thanks!

i would do that

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

12 team dynasty start 2 RBs, 0.5 PPR. I need one of Martin, Morris, Matt Jones, Abdullah or Gordon. Your pick? TIA!

AA

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey bloom, 10 team PPR redraft league. Pick 2 RBs 2WRs & Flex 1. Based on Dodds' projections I am leaning towards Charles, Lewis, Marshall, Robinson, & A.J. if he's healthy. If he's not, who do I flex?

J Charles

Forsett

Dion Lewis

A Foster

A.J. Green

Moncreif

B Marsh

A Robinson

Thanks!

-Austin

moncrief

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1ppr league

Pick 2

Vjax, gore, John brown

Pick 2

Crabtree, heath Miller, Bennett

Thx sig!

sit vjax and miller

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR: need two from Keenen Allen, Percy Harvin or Allen Robinson

Thank you sir

sit harvin

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sir,

What do you expect from Gurley? Sell him or hold? If sell, which WR should I aim?

Thank you for all great stuff!

Alex

id hold unless you can get a larry fitz type

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Can we get a serious assessment on Christine Michael and what potential he has this season, especially factoring in Romo/Dez injuries. Is he outright droppable?

depends on length of bench, what is available.

physical talent is off charts. opportunity is there unless randle picks it up or mcfadden stays healthy.

id try to keep him unless you have to forgo a hot waiver name to do it

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thursday Night dilemma:

12 team Standard scoring league - 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 Flex

With Demarco Murray hammy "tweak", he didn't practice Thursday, and sounds like we won't know if he plays til at least Saturday. My best alternative at RB would be Matt Jones, but I'd have to make that call tonight. If I don't play Jones tonight, and Murray can't go, my only other alternative is Karlos Williams, who is still only getting a few touches per game. Waiver wire is barren.

If I start Jones at RB, and Murray ends up playing, i would have to bench either Jordan Matthews(Revis?), Moncrief, or Maclin to put Demarco in at the flex. (OBJ and Melvin Gordon are other starters) I would normally not even consider benching Matthews, but his matchup looks much worse than the other 2 so I included him as an option. With standard scoring, RBs tend to outscore most marginal WRs at the flex

Would you start Matt Jones tonight? or just pray for a TD by Karlos if Murray is down.

and then,

If I start Jones, which WR would you bench if Murray ends up playing (or would you just bench him regardless because 11 yards and a hammy = yuck)

Thanks

sorry i missed mungo GB , would have said jones

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I am hurting at defense this week, Kansas is on my roster standard scoring league. These teams available on the waiver wire.

Steelers

Eagles

Titans

Washington

Giants

Vikings

Bucks

Chargers

My question hold on to KC for the year and pick up a D for this week and are there any above that can help me through this week or start KC and cross fingers.

Thank you.

id try the bucs

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1 pt PPR.

Should I try to trade Lamar Miller for CJ Anderson? I also have ronnie hillman

Thanks

yes
