Week 16 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

Sigmund, I need your help. I need a wide receiver to fill in for Odell. It's super thin. Top choices on WW:

garcon, any San Diego WR (except Stevie - and I have both rivers and carr playing at QB), wilson, kearse, butler, britt, martin... yeh I know, ugly.

 
Good morning!

I need help choosing 2 RBs / 1 WR3.

Pick 2 - Shoelace, Hightower, McFadden, Hill, Duke Johnson, or Christine Michael?

WR3? Ted Ginn, Rueben Randle or Marcus Wheaton?

This is for all the marbles!

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).

 
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!

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)

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!

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

 
League 1 - PPR - 6 pt passing TDs

QB - Cousins, Smith, Winston (on WW)

RB (Pick 2) - Ivory, Artis-Payne, Cmike, Ajay, Buck, Gaskins (WW), Donald Brown (on WW), Matt Jones (on WW)

Im thinking about Cousin/Dejax stack and benching Nuke??

League 2 - Non PPR, 4 Pt Passing TDs

QB - Carr or Palmer

RB (Pick 2) - Gore, Gurley, Hightower,CJA, Payne, Sproles, Powell

WR (Pick 2) - Arob, Calvin, JBrown, Lafell, Lockett

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!

Thanks for your help this season. SB week & would love your help again in PPR please.

Both my QBs have tough matchups this week. Fitz vs NE & Ryan vs Carolina. I've been rolling with Fitz so I'm leaning him. Dare I get cute and pick up Gabbert or McCarron off waivers?

Also need to pick 2 or 3 RBs & 3 or 4 WRs. I really don't trust Ivory now. I've got Forte in 1 of the RB slots. My other options are McFadden, Ivory, Buck Allen, Hillman, Hightower, Sproles or Woodhead,

I definitely have Hopkins & DT in 2 of the WR spots. Need to pick from Diggs, Lockett, Ginn, Hurns, Benjamin or Roberts for the other 1 or 2 spots

I've got Tye in at TE over Witten. Dallas is a mess.

Merry Christmas!!

 
Merry Christmas Sig!

No ppr .. standard scoring

Pick my 2 Flex spots

Miller

Decker

West

Landry

Lockett

D Robinson (starting 2 Jax players!?!)

to go with

Brees/Stafford

Deangelo

A Robinson

Reed

Catazaro

Denver

Thinking either D Robinson or Decker and West as I don't trust Miller for my championship.

Is it time to give up on Alfred Blue as a dynasty asset? I have him in two leagues, both PPR with two flex positions. In one of them I have Arian Foster, too, and have trouble trusting him in my lineup even after Foster went out. Considering dumping him for a rookie prospect like Mike Davis before waiver wire acquisitions are done for the year.

TIA, Sig, for any insights you can share.

 
Thank you Sig. I'm a OBJ owner. NON PPR.

Need 3 WR from: Hilton (@Mia), R. Cobb (@Ari), Kearse (vs Stl) and Keyshawn Martin (@NYJ). If Julian Edelman is active do I play him?

Need 3 RB from: AP (vs NYG unsure if he will be active), Freeman (vs Car), Ivory (vs NE), Powell (vs NE) or Hightower (vs Jax).

Need TE: Kelce (vs Cle) or Ertz (vs Wash)?

Many thanks for a great year bloom. I appreciate your lineup thoughts - no OBJ has me struggling a bit:

*nonppr

QB Palmer

WR Julio

WR The Alien

WR Smokie

RB Powell

RB DRob

Flx Woodhead

Flx Cooper

Options to consider: Gore, Ivory, Kearse - Jennings or Morris are still on waivers too. Do any make the cut over what i have set? Gore or Kearse seem most likely options... but concerned about Indy calling it a year already and not sure if Kearse is a better option than what ive got.

Hey Sig,

I need a rb and a flex in a ppr league with bonus points for tds over 20 yards. My three top backs are Buck Allen, Gurley, and L. Murray. My reciever options are Benjamin or Wheaton and I also grabbed Ertz as another flex option. Just can't decide if I should play all three backs or two of them with one of the other guys.

Thanks
