10 team PPR lineup in signature ...

1) I'm going into playoffs with Rivers and Carr as my QB depth (we start 1 QB). Rivers situation seems to be deteriorating and Carr's schedule looks harder than it did a few weeks ago. Should I roll with them or drop one to pick up another out of Tannehill/Hasselbeck/McCown/Sanchez?

2) With Lacy coming on, should I keep Starks as a cuff or drop him for passing depth since my WR group is falling off a bit? Could get Z.Miller, C.Fleener, Lockett, or D.Walker off waivers. (Walker seems like the choice but his playoff schedule is rough all 3 weeks)

3) Dez playoff outlook? (sigh)

Thanks Sig! This was my first year using FBG and it helped me tremendously.

prefer mccown or tanne to rivers

walker

sigh indeed at least cassel was giving him chances to make downfield plays

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

0.5 PPR, need one for my flex: Cooks vs Eifert

For RB after losing Lewis & Forsett: I need to choose between Hill, Bernard, and Crowell

Thanks!

[kingcoin1]

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving.

Opponent started Stafford & Fat Eddie against me (also Dez); I already had JStew & Panthers DST go. I'm a significant underdog now (I'm starting Brees, Julio & Cooks among others).

1) .5 PPR; which one of the following?

Matt Jones vs. Giants

John Brown @ 49ers***

Leg Blount @ Broncos

Duke Johnson vs. Ravens

2) ***If you like John Brown above, and IF he winds up being inactive for some reason, who do you like better between Blount & Duke?

3) .5 PPR--Antonio Gates @ Jags (still gimpy; entire offense looks mehh due to injuries) or Travis Kelce vs. Bills (utter lack of balls from his QB; criminally underused in the RZ; now also gimpy w/ an ankle in addition to groin; bad matchup by the numbers as well).

hope you did too!

blount but brown close, LB>duke

gates

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Line-up question. I have Stevie Johnson, Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson. I need to start two WRs. Rankings show Mike Evans as the clear starter.

Stevie Johnson and V Jackson are basically a push. Is the smart play to roll with M Evans and V jax or to diversify and play Mike Evans & Steve Johnson?

I got burned last week by the chargers -- started Stevie and A Gates (at flex) -- didn't work out so well.

Starting Line-up for week 12.

QB: Wilson (D Car-bench)

RB: Gurley, Ingram

Flex: Lamar Miller (A Gates - bench)

TE: Delanie Walker

Defense: GB (Houston - bench)

K: Cairo Santos (J Brown - bench)

Thanks!

diversify

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, need to pick 3 of the following in standard league:

L Miller, Yeldon, Spencer Ware, Martavis Bryant and John Brown.

Thanks in advance!!!!

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

In standard, need to select one flex from landry, tevin coleman, cj anderson, karlos, charles sims, tyler lockett or duke johnson?

Thank you!

coleman

 

[tandl71]

Hi. Who do you like better as a WR4/flex/bench for the playoffs weeks 15-16 in a 0.5 PPR, Brandon LaFell or Devin Funchess?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Currently own Lynch/Rawls and Ingram in a start 1/2/2/TE/Flex non-ppr league. My other RB's are Woodhead, Duke Johnson, and Starks. Does it make sense to keep those guys or pick-up FreddyJax and/or Hightower to handcuff my starters? or a guy like Powell?

Non-ppr.. who would you play at FLEX? Woodhead, John Brown, or Kelce..?

hightower over duke

woodhead by a hair, wont talk you out of brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hope you had a geeat T-Day Sig!

Standard with 5 bonus for 100 yards, all Tds 6.

Chris Johnson, Yeldon, Rawles--pick 2

Qb

Eli, Hoyer, Wilson

Opponent had Megatron and Carolina D go off but also had Rodgers underperform.

TIA

Hi Sig,

Happy Thanksgiving! I've battled back to 5-6 with your help. Gotta keep winning! So my question of the week, which D is best for this week and rest of season?

Browns, Lions, Giants, Tampa Bay, Miami or none of the above (use the Vikings D which I currently own as my only defense)

I'm leaning towards Miami because they have the Jets and Ravens the next two weeks. Also I'm a little worried about the Browns this week just because they have had trouble defensively all year. But maybe they are still the team to own? I also have the Vikings D so the answer could be just keep starting to Vikings and use the roster spot on a player instead of a second defense. Thank you!

happy thanksgiving!

i like MIA and then revisit over next 2 weeks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sigmund. Is Roethlisberger a bust for the fantasy playoffs weeks 15-16 home vs. DEN and away vs. BAL? Convince me he's unbenchable--I've been shortsighted and didn't trade him for either Palmer or Brees, and now I feel stupid.

--Sleepless in Jersey City

there is no answer for their vertical passing game along with his ability to keep plays alive

Hey Sigmund. Happy Thanksgiving. Big fan of all your work esp. On the Couch. Strategy question:

I'm down to a hated rival (and Detroit homer) who feasted on Stafford/Tate yesterday. Projections give him a decided edge after Lions overperformed, plus he's got Hopkins vs the Saints which could bury me.

My question is whether it's a legit strategy to grab Hoyer from waivers as a 1 week streamer strictly to mitigate his projected advantage with Hopkins or is that actually just eating into the potential to come back in the event of a non-nuclear performance by Nuke? I've been streaming QBs after Luck injury and currently have Bortles/Winston available.

Thanks!

For context see footer

hoyer is the best play of three anyway. sounds good

Happy Thanksgiving Bloom! Hoping you can help me with some RB help:

12-team, .5 PPR, short bench (trade deadline passed) league.

Need some RB help with all the injuries I've dealt with. Roster below:

QB: Brady, Carr

RB: DMC, Gore, Duke Johnson, Bradshaw

WR: Nuk, Calvin, A. Robinson, VJax, Stevie Johnson

TE: Walker

My question:

S. Draughn is available. While I know SF is basically worthless from an offensive perspective, but he's getting 20 touches and at least a handful of catches as well.

Should I drop anyone to pick up Draughn?

I just added Bradshaw to handcuff Gore, but still feel I'm extremely weak at the position. And, since the trade deadline has passed, I can package together anyone for a trade.

Thoughts?

draughn over duke. if you are going brady over carr ( i would), maybe drop carr

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Is there any chance Knile Davis gets the bulk of the work on Sunday over Spencer Ware? I know Ware has been active over Davis in recent weeks, but reportedly that is because Ware plays special teams and Davis does not, which will not be an issue if West is out. Your thoughts are appreciated.

highly doubt it after how ware ran last week

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Better speculative add in standard ROS, Ahmad Bradshaw or Jordan Todman?

bradshaw
