Week 8 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

1) .5 PPR, need 1 FLEX

Duke Johnson vs. Cardinals

Latavius Murray vs. Jets

Jonathan Stewart vs. Colts

Brandin Cooks vs. Giants (might have to start him @ WR pending Steve Smith's status)

John Brown @ Browns (sounds like he might be held out of this game)

2) Do you have a gut feel whether Clive Walford can be a weekly start-worthy TE sometime this season?

stew

yes - im open to it - super athletic look last week and Ds will focus on WRs and murray

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Howdy, Sig. Thanks for doing this.

1) If you had to stash DGB or DeVante Parker for next year, who would it be?

2) Is CJ Anderson droppable?

3) Do you think Julius Thomas is worth holding on to (I also have Olsen)?

4) Should I be trying to move Edelman now that LaFell is back before it's too late? I'm worried about a drop in production.

Cheers!

Parker, but i want to know about this foot issue

yes depending on for who

lean no

no hold edelman

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Full point PPR:

Pick 2: Diggs/Crabtree/Ginn

Pick 1: Ebron/Gillmore

sit ginn

sit ebron

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig,

Best non-ppr Ivory handcuff going forward? 5-2 Lost Charles and Foster already but still hanging in there with Bernard, Ivory, and Ellington. Had a good draft luckily.

ridley

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi. LaFell tonite or Snead? How much will cmike move up based on the news of randle walking out on Cowboys rehab. Tks

sorry i missed this - snead was much higher in my ranks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom! Thanks for all you do.

My question: would you drop Marques Colston or Percy Harvin in a dynasty league to pick up Chris Conley?

Thanks again!

yes colston

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

TD heavy scoring dynasty. 6 per TD and 1 per 25 yards rushing + receiving. I'm contending and need a decent RB to rotate in some weeks, so not as concerned with long-term as value this year.

Dropping Alfred Morris. We pay $5 per pickup, so would grab D-Mac but don't want to be adding and dropping weekly.

Best option to replace him: Alfred Blue, Ryan Mathews, Khiry Robinson, Darren McFadden.

mathews for long term, mcfadden for now

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Would you trade Woodhead or McFadden for Moncrief? PPR. Other RBs on my team: Forte, Lewis, CMike. WRs are Hopkins, ARob, Sneed, DAdams, MFloyd. Thanks!

mcfadden

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Last flex spot TY Hilton or Lamar Miller full PPR with bonuses for long tds, 20 carry/100 yard, 10 catch/100 yards.

Many thanks!

sorry i missed ya rankings have hilton more than a full pt ahead

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Which DST this week?

GB @ Denver

NE vs Miami

would have said NE, sorry i missed ya

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR redraft

Talk me into starting D. Adams over G. Tate!!?!!

Can you?

Thanks for all you do!

yes, tate hasn't done diddly all year and adams should have the best matchup of the GB WRs against the tough DEN CBs

 

[mphtrilogy]

John brown or Cooks?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, thanks for all of your help!

This is a 10 team, redraft, 0.5 PPR league where you must start: 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 FLEX, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST. My team is currently 4-3 which is 4th place (4 teams make the playoffs). My team was on an absolute tear but losing Foster has me pretty weak at RB. Should I give up Calvin Johnson for Mike Evans and Charcandrick West?

Here is my current roster:

QBs: Andrew Luck, Eli Manning

RBs: Dion Lewis, Danny Woodhead, Matt Jones, Andre Ellington, Theo Riddick, Christine Michael

WRs: Antonio Brown, Calvin Johnson, John Brown, Brandon LaFell

TEs: Travis Kelce, Jordan Reed

K: Mason Crosby

D/ST: Atlanta Falcons

Do you think I should make the trade or hold out hope that Lewis gets healthy enough for me to survive with him and Woody? Also, should I drop CMike and pick up Khiry Robinson?

youre fine with lewis, hold megatron, not a huge fan of west

i would hold cmike, but really they are a push. maybe riddick for krob?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR for just this week:

1. Latavius or Riddick? - horrible matchup against the Jets and Riddick is a riskier pick but against the Chiefs, new O coordinator, etc.

2. Dez, Snead or James Jones based just on this week's matchups?

Thanks.

murray

dez

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi SB,

A.Abdullah was dropped, is he worth a pick up as my RB4(Ingram, LMiller, Yeldon, Cmike) in a 12tm .5ppr start 2/2/1..

If so how much FABB %?

Also please rank ROS: Snead, Vjax, Mike Floyd, Lafell

Thanks

eh

floyd snead lafell vjax

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

2 Questions.

1) Should I trade Woodhead for Martavus Bryant? Bryant would start over James Jones or Diggs (how much of an upgrade?) but leave me with no depth at RB.

2) Who should I start this week. Latavius Murray (NYJ) or Woodhead (Bal)? No PPR.

Here is my team

No PPR. 10 team league. Start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, K, DEF. No flex.

QB - A. Rodgers

RB - A. Peterson, L. Murray, , D. Woodhead, D. Johnson

WR - TY Hilton, John Brown, J. Jones, S. Diggs, V. Jackson

TE - M. Bennett

yes

murray if you do the deal, woodhead if you dont

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi, thanks for answering questions!

1. When is it time to start thinking Josh Gordon in a keeper league?

2. What in the world do I do with Randle? 10 man no ppr. I also have Christine Michael sitting on my bench

at the beginning of the season

hold randle until this is resolved unless its short bench and there are guys like krob, sims out there

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom,

I have to say that I am a little surprised at how high you have Lacy this week @DEN (even with no Starks likely). Both teams well rested and coming off the bye and obviously Lacy is most likely feeling healthy at this point.

0.5 PPR

I'm trying to decide b/w Lacy, Duke Johnson (vs ARZ) and Antonio Andrews (@HOU) for my Flex spot. It feels a little like overmanaging to potentially bench Lacy, but with an avg of 6.2 catches per game for Duke Johnson and the Cardinals giving up the 3rd most receptions to RBs of any team thus far ... well, i can certainly see Duke Johnson having a good game this week.

There is no way I would even consider this if GB wasn't facing such a tough D. Talk me down from the ledge or push me over.

Anyway, who do I start for this Flex spot? Thanks.

Oom Pah Pah, Oom Pah Pah, Oom Pah Pah, Oom Pah Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

edit: just saw your tweet here (https://twitter.com/SigmundBloom/status/659786324300316674) and here (https://twitter.com/SigmundBloom/status/659792572253016065) where you add some insight on why you have Lacy rated so high

i dont want a goldfish

i

want

eddie lacy to get a lot of targets this week to slow down the DEN pass rush

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need to start 1 wr and 1 flex in 0.5ppr

Cooper v. Jet

Moncrief @panther

Dez @ Seattle (reported to get SHERMAN shadow coverage and a snap count?)

Duke Johnson v. Arz

2nd question...

redraft league.... trade martin, hillman to get gurley & coleman.... i have freeman so locking down ATL rb is a nice bonus.... i just dont know enough about gurley to know if his production in a crap offense can be trusted on a consistent basis (granted martin is in a similar situation but still a better offense).

Thanks for your time!!!!

cooper and dez but moncrief is close and in if we hear norman on hilton

im open to that deal yes. have gurley>martin

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Do I give up on CMichael and pick up Matt Jones? 1/2 pt PPR SHORT bench start 2RB no flex league. I can choose 1 keeper for NEXT year between Gio,JHill,CMichael or Matt Jones...

Other RB's...Forte, Gore, Gio, Hill

i think so. it would be nice to have cmike rostered this week while jones on bye, but jones keeper value > mike. if you think jones will be there next week on WW wait

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard scoring:

Who is getting the better of Calvin and JStew for Cooper and Lacy?

calvin side

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Do you like Doug Martin, Chris Ivory, or Dion Lewis in standard scoring ROS?

martin

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig -- Who reaches paydirt 1+ times this week (TD-scoring league)?

Need one QB from Eli, Russell, Carr

2 RB from Gore, Stewart, C. West, Khiry, Da. Johnson

2 WR from OBJ, Evans, Diggs, A. Cooper.

Of the WR, which would you be looking to trade for a RB? 'Tis a sad-looking bunch after losing Foster...in our 10-team league, mine feels like a stable of low RB2s, at best.

Thanks!

russ

stew gore

obj evans

your RBs are ok, but if you can upgrade to a real RB1, diggs. MAYBE cooper, but has to be a real stud

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Happy Week 8!

Assuming Gates is inactive, Lad Green or Kelce in PPR?

If Kelce, do you flex Lad over Shark West and Willie Snead?

Mahalo.

kelce

have snead slightly ahead but wont talk you out of green at flex

 

[mphtrilogy]

One more

Rest of season

Abdullah, d Johnson Arizona, Cobb

And a quick edit

Cooks, john brown or Jeremy hill in the flex.

Hey Sig, thanks for doing this.

I picked up ASJ this week to help fill in at TE since I own Julius Thomas. After waivers Charles Clay was thrown to the waiver wire, and I wanted to see which you would prefer for the remainder of the season: Julius Thomas or Charles Clay.

Thanks

Dion Lewis (playing tonight)

Danny Woodhead

Charcandrick West

John Brown

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig - 1 PT PPR need RB2 or drop one of these for and RB 2 this week? CJ Anderson, Abdullah, or David Johnson.

Free Agent RB's : Khiry, Spiller, Riddick, Polk , Joique, Oliver

id play johnson. on the fence but close to saying krob>CJ

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

How much stock are you putting into Lamar Miller's bad performance vs the Pats on Thursday? Obviously it was the Pats on their home turf on a short week but the game script and team performance felt very Philbin-esque regardless. Much better days ahead or return to middling RB2 territory?

better days

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Kelce or Ladarius Green non-ppr? I feel like flipping a coin.

kelce

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Alright sir. Need two backs and a flex.

.5 ppr

Lacy

Gore

Gio

Latavius

Sefarian-jenkins

I'm leaning towards lacy, gore and gio but I feel like ASF could be a sneaky play if he is on the field. Not too fond of the matchup for Murray but it's hard to sit him...

Thanks gangster!

you have it right. ASJ doubtful
