What the hell do I do with Murray? My 2 RB and 2 WR are set (Stew, Ivory, Evans, Jeffery). I'm picking from a *very* mixed bag for my flex -- Murray, Ryan Mathews, John Brown, Moncrief, Langford, Matt Jones, or waiver adds like Devante Parker, Marvin Jones, Golden Tate. I mean, if we get clarity on the Philly situation, I think the answer is Mathews. I just don't think we'll have *any* clarity at before Sunday (and Brown goes on Thursday if I'm going to use him).

Hey Sig,

I just got a bye week in my PPR league where I have pretty balanced depth (except Eifert being hurt). So I'm wondering who you think would be a good stash while I'm on bye out of the following players...I can pick up 2, (or 3 if you think I should drop Kamar or Tbenj):

Richard Rodgers

Eric Ebron

DeVante Parker

DGB

Dan Herron

Charles Sims

James White

Kerwynn Williams

Anquan Boldin

Darren Sproles

I know you make the waiver report but I was hoping for advice tailored to being on bye and making a preemptive stash. I have 8/200 dollars left in my FAAB so I was planning on bidding ~$5 on Rodgers/Ebron but $0 on the others.

Thank you!

-Alex

1 pt PPR, 6 pts TD and -3 for INTs

Which TE:

Gates - against the Chiefs who usually shut him down and they have almost no WR left or

Seferian-Jenkins - against the Saints great matchup but low snaps first week back.

Which QB:

Carr at Broncos

Winston vs Saints

Tannehill vs Giants at home, MNF possible high scoring

Thanks.

 
Best Streaming QB this week? Can't get Jameis.

I have Fitzpatrick and Alex Smith, can also pick up Gabbert, Manziel, Hoyer, Cousins, Mariota and start one of them.

Also, Dez Bryant or Davante Parker this week? (Can't believe I have to ask this)

 
Standard league, all TD 6 points:

Pick 1 QB: Stafford, Tannehill, Cousins, Hoyer

Pick 1 WR and 1 Flex: Dez, Michael Floyd, Devante Parker, Jeremy Hill, Gio

TIA

 
Hi Sig! Win and I'm in. Standard with 5 PT bonus for 100 yards.

Wilson or Eli?

Ralwes, David Johnson, Yeldon, Sanders, Hill

Pick 2

Kelce or Julius?

Thanks again!

 
Thanks Sig for the time as always.

Need 1 of these guys for Flex - no ppr

Lacy vs. Dallas (does he get out of the doghouse this week)

West vs. SD (still RBBC with Ware)

Landry vs. Dallas (can Tannehill get him the ball)

Tate @ Stl (opponent starting Stafford)

Rest of my lineup:

QB -Brees

RB - LMiller

WR- ARobinson

TE - Reed

FLEX - DWilliams

FLEX - ??

K - Tucker or Prater (if I get him off waiver)

D - Denver

 
Thanks for doing this Sigmund as always.

Need a WR3, two RBs and a Flex from this group (PPR league): Dez Bryant, Donte Moncrief, Travis Benjamin, Shaun Draughn, Frank Gore, Jeremy Hill, Gio Bernard, Ryan Mathews, Tyler Eifert

Best of luck in your playoffs sir.

 
Need to know this prior to Thursday for the Az/MN game.

One WR, receive 2 points per reception, 6 pts for a TD and yardage points

Choices:
Michael Floyd - AZ

Travis Benjamin - Clev

Davante Parker - Miami

Thanks so much for doing this and good luck in the playoffs.

 
Hi Sig -- Facing the regular season points leader.

In TD-only scoring:

..Wilson, Carr, or Eli

..2 from Stew, Rawls, C. West, Langford, Gore (why is JStew questionable?)

..2 from OBJ, Evans, Coop (if I can get Parker, should I pick up AND start him over any of the above?)

..Watson or ASJ

..Gould, Barth, or Crosby

Thank you kindly, good sir.

RB Adrian, J-Stew, Powell

WR Evans, J Landry, J-Matt, Diggs, Stevie J

Hey Sig,

Need to decide on a flex in a .5 PPR league between these three guys, and I'm certain I'll be indecisive all week:

Hilton (@ JAX)

Evans (vs. NO, also where I'm leaning)

Gurley (vs. DET)

Thanks!

 
Hi Sig,

Won the NFFC primetime league (ppr, 3rd in a row!), now in the big dance. Anquan Boldin, Tedd Ginn (I got no hands but darn am I fast or what?), or Stevie Johnson (depending on injury) at WR?

Thanks!!!

Hank

 
Long time listener, first time caller.

Standard PPR. Which 3 of 4 to start at RB/Flex:

Freeman

J. Allen

West

Forte

(I think what I'm really asking is do I play West or Forte)

 
Hi Sigmund. I just dropped Ryan Mathews RB (like a meathead) prior to week 13 in my 0.5 PPR. I have #1 waiver priority now (out of 6, cascading), and a week 14 BYE. Do I burn it and pick him back up for my FLEX, pick up Hightower (with the Ingram news 12/09), or sit tight?

My roster...

QB B Roethlisberger
RB1 DeA Williams
RB2 T Rawls

WR1 A Brown
WR2 O Beckham
WR3 AJ Green
Flex D Parker MIA

Bench (all RBs, waiting for injuries)

J Ajayi
K Williams
D Herron
J Todman
C Sims
S Taylor
C Artis-Payne

THANKS!

Hoyer vs NE (volume)

Need two RBs and one WR of these in STD league:

DMC at GB

Draughn at Cleveland

Allen vs Seattle

Stew vs Atl.

Evans vs NO

DThomas vs Oak.

Thanks!

Hey Sig,

Thanks for doing this...I'm playing a monster team that's the top scoring team in our 0.5 PPR league. I've already played him twice, and he ALWAYS blows up against me. I'm hoping the third time's a charm and I stop him from getting a hat trick.

Allen Robinson vs Indy

AJ Green vs Pitt

Demaryius Thomas vs Oak

Doug Baldwin @ Bal

Have to pick 3 out of 4. Your thoughts?

I realize my WR core is pretty stacked. But unfortunately, my RBs are not.

Lamar Miller vs NYG

Woodhead @ KC

T. Riddick @ STL

I have to pick 2 of these RBs.

Or I could try to pick up Sproles or Powell from the waiver wire.

Thanks!

 
Hey Sig...

I'm starting Jonathan Stewart and Jeremy Hill at RB, but need help with my WR and flex. nonPPR

Need 2 WR and 1 Flex out of:

DeSean Jackson

Dez Bryant

Allen Hurns

Brandon LaFell

Donte Moncrief

Vincent Jackson

Matt Jones

Right now, I'm leaning DeSean Jackson, Dez, and Vincent Jackson. VJax has to go off against NO, right? I'd put Hurns in there if he's going to play. Lots of variable at play!

 
hi sig,

thanks for the help this season..

is todman still the backup to de-will? is he worth holding onto? or is any pitt backup worth holding onto for the next 3 weeks?

I'm in in a distance scoring, non-ppr league can you rank rest of season, we treat tight ends as WR's:

REST OF SEASON: wrs: lfitz, j brown, m Floyd (ariz), eifert, d walker, aiken

REST OF SEASON: rbs: j hill, e lacy, woodhead, bilal powell, polk, matt jones, sproles, kerwyn Williams, j white (ne),

and who do you like for week 16, I need to plan ahead for that chance...

alex smith home v cle, Dalton at den, hoyer at Tenn, Martiotta home vs hou

THANKS!!!.

 
Hey Sig,

Thanks for doing this all season. I have a couple of questions.

Start Winston or Fitzpatrick at QB?

Start Watson or R.Rogers at TE in a .5ppr league?

In another PPR league start TY Hilton or Cobb?

Watson or Scott Chandler at TE?

Should Spencer Ware sniff my line up or stick with AP, Gore and J Hill?

I also need to start two of M.Floyd, Amendola or J.Landry.

Thank you for your time on any of these!!

 
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?

 
Ivory for green beckham dynasty? Standard scoring. Thanks!

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?

 
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?

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.

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!

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!!!

 
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.

 
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

 
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

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

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

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.

 
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.

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).

GB (Dal, Oak, AZ, Min)

Det (Stl, NO, SF, Chi)

Mia (NYG, SD, Ind, NE)
