So somehow I am in the semis in a league that still goes to week 17. My team kind of sucks, but Cam Newton is awesome, so I'm still alive.

This is the team in my signature. Standard scoring.

I'm locking into Desean Jackson and Allen Hurns as my two WR, so I need 2 RB and a flex out of: (bolded are who I am thinking of starting)

Karlos Williams

Denard Robinson

Matt Jones

Jeremy Hill

Dez Bryant

Donte Moncrief

Brandon LaFell

This is without solid intel on the JAX RB injury situation and clarity on the BUF situation. Also, opponent has Tom Brady, so not sure if that affects LaFell in any way or not (I also have Gronk).
looks good, swap monc for dez

 
HI Sig,

Thursday Night Implications

Standard scoring non-ppr league.

I need to start 2 of these players (as my RB2 and Flex:

Woodhead - Rarely puts together decent back-to-back weeks but Gordon is now on IR

Yeldon - Coming back from injury

D. Robinson - Did not capitalize on his chance last week; now banged up

Langford - Been on my bench since MF came back

Bernard - Got the start last week, but hill got the GL touches

Walker - Will he put up the same numbers with a backup QB?

Diggs - Finally put up decent numbers last week and has a favorable matchup; don't know if he can be trusted.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!
would have said drob, woodhead sorry

 
Sig, Cec and FBG staff.

6 leagues, 4 playoff teams, 4 teams advanced to championship game.

Thanks for the insight and help all year long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best wishes to you and yours this holiday season and beyond.
best to you and yours!

 
Playing against a very good team this week, need to really hit my RBs to compete. He has Palmer, LatMurray, deangleo, charc west, Antonio brown, fitz, cooks, Watson. .5ppr, bonus at 100 yards.

I'm starting Ben, Julio, a-rob, martavis, Olsen. Out of the following players, I need 2 RBs and a flex:

Hightower vs JAX

Karlos vs DAL

Drob vs NO

Gore vs MIA

Cmike vs STL

Powell vs NE

Jordan Reed vs PHI

The first three are who I'm rolling with right now, should I change out anyone?

PHI seems to be decent vs TE's, so I'm not sure about reed. Gore I feel like I can't trust at all, cmike.... I really want to play him after everything this year but it doesn't seem smart.

Thank you for your help Sig. Merry Christmas!!

Hey Sig,

Thanks for your help all season. Could use a little help with my remaining bandaid team

QB- Tygod or pick up Teddy, Alex Smith or Kirk

WR- Trust Hilton or play Lockett or move to the flex and play Zach Miller over him

RB- my options are Matt Jones, Shoelace, Gillislee, Draughn, RMatthews and CMike. Any of these seem more trustworthy than the rest of the pack? Will need to play at least 2.

Sig...thank you for all your good work. Merry Christmas.

I have a couple issues. Picked up Randle and may play him over fitz. I have RB issues with Freeman and Gurley in bad match ups. Standard scoring redraft.

WR: fitz, ARob, ODB and Randle

RB: Freeman, Gurley, West, Hightower, C Payne, DRob

What are your thoughts?
fitz over randle

freeman gurley in

 
IF Dez out and Brees out, how much would that affect your rankings of DMC & Hightower?

AND, if AD sits, where would you rank McKinnon?

One more Sig,

PPR with double points for RBs catching a td. Need a RB2 out of Buck Allen, Jennings, Lacy or Artis-Payne.

Thanks Again

 
Sig, thanks for all your help this season. Need your help in standard.

(1) At WR need to choose 1 from Landry, Lockett, or, Wheaton

(2) I need to choose 2 (1 rb and 1 flex) from Hightower, Freeman, Karlos Williams, Denard Robinson, zach miller, and leftover wrs above?

(3) what D do you like this week as a streamer? Arizona, miami, minnesota, tampa bay or buffalo?

My opponent is starting the following. Unfortunately, i played cooper and he played crabtree/murray, so i am already quire a bit behind. Need to play high ceiling players.

Carson Palmer Ari - QB

Mike Evans TB - WR

Michael Crabtree Oak - WR

Brandin Cooks NO - WR

Latavius Murray Oak - RB

Darren McFadden Dal - RB

Rob Gronkowski NE - TE

James White NE - RB

Mason Crosby

Detroit

Thanks!
lockett

freeman drob

BUF

 
How would you handle this combo (need 1 RB/WR and 1 WR) with respect to game time and injury status (or depth chart status).

Peterson - possibility he is rested if the game doesn't matter (GB losing to AZ for example)

Alshon Jeffery - getting a doubtful vibe based on hamstring, plays early Sunday

Dez Bryant - healthy-ish (Thursday update: missing practice lol), limited by QB play, plays early Sunday

Denard Robinson - foot, Yeldon status up in the air, plays late Sunday

Tavon Austin - healthy, low floor, plays late Sunday, only healthy option I've got.

I've got Dez and Denard penciled in right now.

Other starters:

Newton,

AP (monitoring ankle status; none of this prbly matters if he can't go or is rested since I don't have McKinnon or Asiata or any Bengals or broncos)

Gurley (basement level floor v Seattle)

RB/WR (Denard/Jeffery/Dez/Austin - depending on who is healthy)

A. Robinson

WR2 (Dez/Jeffery/Austin)

Reed

Crosby

Mack (DL)

David (LB)

Barron (DB)

Opponent:

Wilson

Martin

Gore

Lacy

Baldwin

Landry

J. Thomas

J. Brown

Poz (LB)

McClellin (DL, Questionable w. Concussion)

Coleman (DB)
peterson

BLOOM -- WHERE THEY AT DOE!

OBJ victim here as well.

1.0 PPR, Distance Bonuses.

Need 1 WR and 1 Flex from Aiken (vs. Steelers), Decker (vs. NE), Murray (vs. SD on Thursday night).

Potential Waivers: Ginn (@ ATL), Jennings (@ MIN), Randle ( @ MIN), Powell (vs. NE), Wheaton (@ BAL), Mike Floyd (vs GB), Lockett (vs STL)

Note: Opponent is currently starting Cam at QB and Ben is his backup. Not sure if you try to neutralize points here.

Follow on: Starting Kelce (vs. Browns) but Ertz (vs WAS), Zach Miller (@TB) and Heath Miller (@BAL) are are available.

Thanks man.

Hi Sig,

Two out of four teams in the championship. Thank you for your help!

In 10-team PPR, would you make any changes to the lineup below (full lineup for context, I'm about a 10-point dog):

QB: Brady

RB: West

WR1: Cooks

WR2: Mike Floyd

RB/WR Flex 1: DMC

RB/WR Flex 2: Lockett

TE: #GRONKSMASH

TD: Denver

Bench:

- Dez

- Aiken

- Rueben Randle

- Wheaton

- Ryan Matthews

- B Powell

- Lamar Miller

Thanks!

DR
aiken over DMC

 
Rushing yards = .04 per yard

Receiving yards = .03 per yard

Receptions = .10 per catch

TD = 6 points

Question #1 – I need one RB. My options are;

Gore at Miami

Ivory vs. NE

Jennings at Minnesota

Vereen at Minnesota

I’m leaning Gore right now but he sure is looking old

Question #2 – replacing Odell. My options are;

John Brown vs. GB

Randall Cobb at Arizona

Eric Decker vs. NE

I’m leaning Decker b/c I figure NE will focus on Marshall

Thanks in advance for your input

Hi Sig! Well I made it to the finals in my two mist important leagues.

Crazy loaded big money 8 teamer (standard 100 yards 5 point bonus):

Jeffrey

Calvin

AJ Green

Evans

Watkins

John Brown

Lockett

Shoelace

Karlos Willimas

PICK FOUR (3 must be WRs)

Can't believe with my options I may sit Jeffery and Green. I can't imagine playing Calvin anymore either.

QB

Carr

Stafford

Cousins (I'm an eagles homer and they have ZERO chance of containing Desean and Reed)

Ten Team League (standard 100 yards 5 point bonus)

Sanders, Hightower, Shoelace, Karlos, Micheal

Pick TWO

QB

Wilson (worried that Rams won't out up a fight and no Baldwin could mean a lackluster game for Russ)

Cousins (I know, don't bet cure right?)

TE

Julius

Kelce

Thanks again and happy holidays!!!

ETA can't believe your working on Christmas! Hope Santa was good to you!

Reposting...living on a string in the playoffs. My WR choices are plentiful in the 25 - 35 range of typical rankings. Need a little advice buddy.

Thanks in advance Sig....

Need to pick three. PPR (0.5 RB/WR and 1 TE), length of TD's matter (5 for uner 10 yard, and increases exponentially every 10 yard for length of TD)

D. Walker (typically a no brainer...QB issue has me concerned)

J. Brown, Hurns, Benjamin, Lockett, Gin Jr.

 
Hi Sig,

Fitzmagic or Cousins?

Gore or James Jones at Flex?

Need 2 Wrs from Smokey B, Mike Floyd and Cobb (.5 ppr)

Lions D or Steelers D?

Thanks and Merry Xmas!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family Sig!

I need some serious help with my full point PPR league after going against Woodhead and Murray on Thursday and losing OBJ to suspension and Jeffery to injury. Here's the team:

QB- Newton

RB- D. Johnson, D. Robinson, J. White, Gore, K. Williams, T. Hightower, C. Michael, C. Artis Payne

WR- Hopkins, A. Robinson, R. Randle, D. Green Beckham, Jeffery, OBJ

TE- Kelce, Z. Miller, W. Tye

DEF- Chiefs, Panthers, Bengals

K- Boswell

I need a QB, 2 RB's, 2 WR's, TE, Flex, and a DEF out of this. Newton, D. Johnson, D. Robinson, Hopkins, and A. Robinson are locked in IMO. But as for the TE, Flex, and DEF, I'm not too sure. What do you think Sig? How would you set this week's lineup?

Thank you in advance Mr. Bloom and good luck in your leagues this week!

 
Merry Christmas Sig! I've been checking your rankings constantly on this, but I would like to hear from the man himself ;)

PPR League Scoring for all

4pt / Pass TD

0.05pt / Pass yard

1pt / 10 yds rush/rec

League 1

Cousins @ PHI (thought I Philly will be missing their starting corners?)

Rodgers @ AZ (no honey badger, but should still be a tough road game and he just had a bad fantasy game last week at OAK)

ETA: Bhaktiari OL has been ruled out for the game.

(Pick 1 RB and Pick 1 Flex)

Artis-Payne @ ATL

Gio @ DEN

Jennings @ MIN

Powell vs NE

Denard @ NO

Walker vs. HOU (Mettenberger starting)

***My gut is telling me Denard and Walker :unsure:

_________________________________________________________________

League 2

(Pick 1)

Palmer vs. GB

Bortles @ NO (all signs pointing to a shootout ?)

(Pick 1)

Gurley @ SEA

Thank you very much!!!

Delanie Walker v. HOU

Zach Ertz v. WAS

Scoring is 1 pt. for every 6 yards rec/rush, 5 pt. bonus @ 90 yards rec/rush, 1 PPR, 7 pts. for TDs.

Have been playing Walker all year (he is the 2nd highest scoring TE behind only Gronk and 7th highest scorer overall among all TEs and WRs in our scoring system).

The late add to Friday's injury report (hamstring-probable) and his QB situation are making me second guess going with Ertz instead. Ertz has had a couple of nice games in a row and should be involved in a crucial NFC East game tonight. Thanks

 
Seasons Greetings Sig!

First time poster, long time follower.

Full PPR. Please pick 1 RB, 2 WRS, and a flex out of the bunch.

Miller, Buck Allen, Baldwin, Randle, Lockett, Hilton, Moncrief, Diggs, Wheaton.

I have R.Wilson, Freeman, and A. Brown in my lineup already as no brainers.

Thanks for all that you do!

 
Hi Sig, and thanks in advance....

My current Lineup: Bortls, DRob, Decker, Watkins, DThomas, Ivory, Gronk

On my bench: Blue, CAP, RMathews, Ginn, GioBernard

Would you swap any of these guys out? My gut says bench DThomas against Cincy and possibly Ivory and start Ginn and Blue. Thoughts?

 
PPR league.

Need to pick one flex.

Note: RBs get 1 pt for every 4 rushing attempts.

Note II: I am a heavy favorite so seeking a high floor not a bad thing.

* F. Gore @MIA -- Should get touches against a lousy INDY run D. Also Miami homecoming.

* C. Michael vs STL -- Could share but should be 1A to B. Brown 1B. STL run D looked horrible last week vs TB.

* C. Artis-Payne @ATL -- Stewart out. Should get touches, not sure about TDs.

* AJ Green @DENVER -- Horrible matchup, AJ McCarron starting at QB. Classic talent vs bad matchup scenario.

Thanks

 
0.5 PPR league.

Need 2 WRs from this group.

Note: I'm a 20+ point underdog so need upside. My opponent has Cam, AP, DRob, Baldwin.

* TY Hilton @MIA -- Good matchup, but can Hassleback get him the ball. Hiliton griping about no deep balls. Maybe squeaky wheel gets greased?

* S. Diggs vs NYG -- Good matchup, but low target totals. Diggs could get deep though.

* J. Kearse vs STL -- Sneaky option. He's getting targets anyways and Baldwin seems banged up. Maybe Baldwin rests.

* DGB vs HOU -- Z. Mett likes him but the matchup isn't good at all vs. HOU secondary.

* D. Parker vs INDY -- This seems like a complete dice roll to me, but maybe they unleash the rookie with Mathews a bit banged up.

Which two?

Thanks

 
0.5 points per reception.

Pick one TE:

* T. Kelce vs CLE -- Kelce universally ranked top 10 (as usual) despite what could be a game script that doesn't need A. Smith to throw. Also, weather looks cruddy and CLE D is surprisingly tough against TEs.

* W. Tye @MN -- Matchup is middling but Odell's targets need to go somewhere and Tye has been getting targeted consistently anyway. Could be a safety blanket and red zone option in a game of catch up for Eli.

Who?

Thanks

 
Pick a D:

* PIT @BALT -- One of Mallet or Claussen could start. Hard not to see a Pit blowout in a game they need with Baltimore trying to catch up and making mistakes.

* DET vs SF -- Great matchup. SF with basically no running game and DET D at home. Don't see SF scoring many points but DET also doesn't generate many turnovers.

Need upside here. Opponent is heavily favored and has DEN D on Monday night.

Thanks

 
RB (choose 3; RB's get .5 ppr, 1 pt/20 yds)

DJohnson (no brainer)

DRobinson

BPowell (you are particularly high on him? NE rush D not bad and Jets did little vs NE last game?)

KWilliams

C A-P

CJ Anderson

WR/TE (1 pt/20 yds, no ppr)

(must play at least 3 WR and 1 TE, choose total of 5 players from the group...bold are in, need 2 more)

GOlson (no brainer)

Ertz (I played him...wanted that 60 yd TD that Bradford missed!)

ACooper (I played him...ugh)

CalvinJohnson

TBenjamin

CoreyBrown (has been leading Car WR's in snaps and Cam looks to him a lot)

KeshawnMartin (somebody has to catch the ball besides Gronk)

I greatly respect your opinion and we seem to agree more so than Dodds or Trembley, although I look at them all. Injuries have ravaged my team so I am working the waiver wire 24/7! Merry Christmas and thank you for your hard work and expertise.

*edited to reflect latest on my lineup and add scoring rules
