Ok

 

[grantsa4]

Hi Sig,

Who are the other wr in top 10 wr rest of season.std scoring?

Abrown, AJ, Obj, julio? Who are the other 6?

 

[rascal]

Standard scoring...how would you rank ROS

Ivory, Deandre Washington, James White, K Dixon, T West

 

[xenon]

Thanks in advance...please pick 3.

PPR

6 pts TD

Bonus at 100 yds receiving

Brandon Marshall (can't bench him)

Randall Cobb (off a bye I am hoping/thinking they make an effort to get him involved more?)

Tyrell Williams (vs Oakland and should be a shoot out)

Will Fuller (against Minn and on the road.  I am leaning towards benching him....MINN D is tough...Of note, MIN is my fantasy D))

Thank You

 

[beerbuff]

Have Siemian for this week because of Bree's bye. Should I go with him or pick up Hoyer or Lynch. Barring injury to Brees  only need the guy for just this week.  

 

[4th&inches]

Standard scoring, 14-team league:

would you drop D. Washington (DET) for either Powell, Jacquizz Rodgers or J. Richard?

10-team .5PPR:

Drop Ty. Williams for either Jacquiz, or Powell?

standard scoring, 12-team:

Bench DJax in favor of Ty. Williams or D. Parker with the wind gusts in BAL?

Lastly, with the news of Jacquizz starting for TB on MNF, would you drop Sproles for Jacquizz or Powell (.5 PPR)? 

Thanks (again) & sorry for the late edits if you've looked already. as it gets closer to kickoff, some options change/aren't available any more

 

[NeverEnough]

Need help w/RB & flex spots in PPR again please. TIA

For RB: Sims, DWill, McKinnon, Washington (Det) or Dixon.

For flex: all of the above + Beasley, Brate  or Ty Williams

 

[cDrow]

Hey Sig...

PPR, short bench, RB/WR/TE Flex league.

WR2 for this week: Diggs, Wallace, DaVante Parker or Coates? Edit: Diggs looks doubtful, so this comes down to Wallace (who is on my roster) and Parker or Coates (who are FA). Which of those three has the higher ROS potential?

My RBs are Elliott, Hyde, Howard, Ivory, Smallwood. Sell high on either Hyde or Howard?

 

[Simplysexie]

[Sigmund Bloom]

Seems like I have multiple questions for you every week, Sig…and every week I greatly appreciate your assistance (apologize ahead of time for the length).

League 1 (.5PPR, 12-team, short bench)

Have Ingram & Ware on bye’s & Foster & Jennings banged up.

Currently starting:

• RB: Zeke, Sproles
  
• WR: Marvin Jones, Landry
  
• Flex: Fuller
  

Question (edited): 

• D. Washington (OAK) and Powell are both available as FA’s. would you add either to start this week? If so, who to drop?
  

League 2 (.5PPR, 10-team)

Have the following players all on bye: Brees, Ingram, Charles, Ware, Snead.

Starting:

• QB:  (need to drop someone to add a QB)
  
• RB: Gio, L. Murray
  
• WR: Julio, Jordy
  
• Flex: Ty. Williams
  
• Bn: above players on Byes, Derrick Henry, Dixon
  

My questions are:

• Who should I drop to add a QB?
  
• Would you also drop anyone for D. Washington (OAK) to start in place of L. Murray?
  
• Would you drop Ty. Williams for Pryor?
  

League 3 (standard scoring, 12-team, 3yr keeper league):
 

I have Kelce on bye & debating if I should just roll without a TE this week or drop NE DST for Pitta (just dropped). Below are my current starters:

• QB: Luck
  
• RB: David Johnson, L. Bell
  
• WR: Jordy, Diggs
  
• Flex: Crowell
  
• TE: open
  
• DST: MIN
  

Bench: Bortles, Rawls, Duke Johnson, D. Booker, DJax, Ty Williams, D. Parker

normally  wouldn't think about rolling without a position, but David Johnson already got me 30pts. 

As Always, a big thank you for the help!

powell over sproles

drop henry

dwash > dixon bc of opening in lineup

yes get pryor

drop bortles for a TE

 

[wormburner]

How would you rank

Robbie Anderson

Brice Butler

Cameron Meredith

for Week 5?  Any of them worth keeping ROS?

Thank you, sir.

Injury Update: Enunwa is expected to play Sunday, so I'm sure Anderson drops to the bottom of this list.

 

[baconbits]

PPR

Edelman, Bennett or Steve Smith for flex?

EDIT: with the potential wind in Baltimore would you put Derek Anderson or Paxton Lynch over Flacco?

Thanks!

 

[isaacleicht]

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig I need help this week! I've got Eifert and Ebron and both aren't playing this week. No roster spots open. PPR league 12 teams:

Starting:

QB: Luck

RBs: David Johnson, DeAndre Washington

WRs: Marvin Jones Jr., Steve Smith Sr.

TE: Ebron

Flex: Eddie Royal

My bench:

Winston

Eifert

Devante Parker

Latavius Murray(starting Washington)

Duke Johnson

Dez

Do I drop Ebron for Virgil? Tamme? Or do I do the unthinkable and leave my TE spot empty?

Thanks! Laura

ebron for will tye assuming zach miller isnt out there

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR league.

Need a flex from one of these three WRs:

* T. Williams @OAK -- Great matchup, but it seems like Rivers rotates weekly between Inman, Benjamin, and Williams.

* P. Dorsett vs CHI -- Chicago has been decent against the pass. Dorsett saved his day with his one reception last week.

* E. Royal @Indy -- K. White out, Indy pass D made Bortles look good, A. Jeffrey with V. Davis on him? Maybe Royal gets peppered with targets in a high scoring affair.

Thanks

dorsett

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Std scoring - start Jalen Richard or Dixon?

Trade Crowder for DGB? Crowder is a bench WR for me.

Thanks for all the awesome content you guys provide.

richard

i would take the chance on DGB at end of the bench sure

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Two defense questions:

1) Cinci @DAL or LA Rams vs BUF 

Dallas doesn't turn the ball over, but Cinci seems solid all around. LA seems to play like world beaters at home and Buffalo lacks weapons, but they also tend to hold onto the ball.

2) LA Rams or PIT D

Ditto on Rams comments from above. PIT D is not that impressive, but Fitz has been a turnover machine. 

Thanks

LA

LA

Tye, R Rodgers

Add anyone and drop who please? Have $308 of $500 FAAB left. How much to use?

Thank you very much.

lineups good

richard and smallwood over ferguson/prosise - 20-30 for each

 

[kyoun1e]

0.5 PPR league.

Due to byes and injuries I have to pick 2 of these three for my RB slots. Ugh. 

* W. Smallwood @DET -- Good matchup, but who knows how many touches he gets. Mathews appears healthy. He could aggravate the injury opening the door.

* K. Dixon vs WASH -- Word is he'll be "eased in." Great matchup, but everyone calling this West's game.

* D. Washington vs SD -- Looks like Murray is going to be out. Probably split work with Richard at worst. 

* J. Rodgers @CAR -- Sims hasn't practiced and is listed as doubtful. Monday night game, but maybe Sims is ruled out by Sunday morning. Who else is going to run the ball besides Mr. Rodgers? The last time he received more than 10 carries was in NO in 2014: 11-29-0, 1-3.

* B. Rainey/R. Jennings -- I have Jennings on the roster and could pick up Rainey. If GB gets up big, it could be dump offs to Rainey all night.

Which 2 dartthrows?

Thanks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

I have to drop one guy due to bye weeks and short bench league - non-ppr - tough decision (because you and Waldman are too good at giving advice). 

Anyway, pick one to drop for this week:  DeAndre Washington, Michael Thomas (bye), Kenneth Dixon

Here's my roster for context - Start 2 RB, 2WR, 1 Flex - Matt Forte, Frank Gore, Spencer Ware, Jerick McKinnon, Kenneth Dixon, DeAndre Washington, AJ Green, Allen Robinson, Doug Baldwin, Michael Thomas, Martellus Bennet

Thanks, Sig.

dixon

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I saw Smallwood look like an NFL back. Is this the end of the Ryan Matthews experiment? Seems RM is always hurt or under performing. Thoughts...

dont think mathews is a reliable start any longer

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, thanks again.

Start 2 at flex, .5 ppr - Powell (Forte is starting as well), Floyd, Dorsett, Ayaji 

Start 2, standard - Enunwa (starting Marshall), Floyd, Bernard, Dixon (could also drop D. Booker, Floyd or Dixon to grab D. Wash, J. Richard, T. Sharpe, R. Woods or S. Coates)

In general, is it time to dump Floyd for one of the listed above?  Thanks.

powell dorsett

bernard - dump floyd for coates or dewash, too late this week. would play enunwa if active, otherwise dixon and pray

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What's up Sig?

Is Julius Thomas droppable at this point to stream the rest of the way?

Also, in full ppr do you think I can afford to sit still at RB with only Crowell, Sims, Gio, DeAngelo on the roster? AB, Arob, Crabtree at receiver. 

drop thomas to take another shot at RB

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

2 questions...

WDIS (pick 2 WR & Flex WR/RB)

JMatthews, Crabtree, Jeffrey, Hyde, Crowell, Pryor

Trade Question: offered Moncrief & DFreeman for Crabtree. Worth the trade? (here's my total lineup: AJGreen, Crabtree, JMatthews, ARobinson, Pryor - Bell, Gordon, Hyde, LMurray, Crowell) I plan to drop a QB after this weekend so I have room for Moncrief. Not sure he's worth it though, Decker is available too and seems a better pickup to wait for. 

Opinions appreciated!

jmatt crab pryor 

if you can then cash in gordon for full RB1 value i like the deal

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What up Sig!

Standard league, all TD's 6 pts

QB: Hoyer or Tannehill?

Pick 2 Flex: Sterling Shepard, Randall Cobb or Duke Johnson?

Def: Patriots or Rams?

Pick 2 RB: Crowell, Forte or DeAndre Washington (Oak)?

TIA!

tanne

cobb and shep

NE D

sit forte

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Standard league, 10 team: 

This week: 

Eli or Flacco for QB

Shepard or Quincy at WR2 

Choose 3 of these 4 RB's: Miller, Howard, Hill, Crowell 

Trade question: 

I was offered Will Fuller for Jordan Howard (my WR core is: green, baldwin, Shepard, Quincy, RB's are same as above plus Powell).  Worth making that trade?  The guy also has Dez, should I shoot for him?  Could trade Hill for Fuller instead?  If we do the trade, it probably won't happen until next week.  

Thanks again for all you do, loved "on the couch" this week!  

eli shep sit crow

hold howard in standard

 

[Ominous Johnson]

Sid,

Need a flex for ppr purposes:

Sims (not practicing again)

Gio

Ryan Mathews

Wendell Smallwood

Thanks.

 

[Markus P Dub]

2 QB League; I have Russel on a bye and claimed Hoyer to pair with Winston.  Someone dropped FitzyP.  Is he a better overall add and start than Hoyer?

Also IDP question; with the bye week someone dropped Bobby Wagner.  Would you waive anyone of these guys for a preemptive claim on Bobby?  Powell/M.Thomas/Booker (i have CJA).  We start 5 IDPs and Wagner would be a nice addition as i have the following: Jat.Brown/Prst.Brown/C.James/V.WIlliams/Neal.  Thanks!

 

[gethugefast1]

[Sigmund Bloom]

Good afternoon, Sig.

Impressive number/quality of podcasts this season – consummate pro, you are.

This week, in TD-only scoring..

--Newton or Manning

--Dixon or Mathews

--2 from Hilton, Larry Fitz, Pryor, Smiff, Enunwa

Thanks.

manning

mathews

hilton pryor (hope you played fitz, but i had him lower w stanton)

 

[austin907]

Sig,

Would you drop any of these players for Jalen Richard in ppr format?

M Floyd/Moncrief/J Thomas/S Coates 

If so which one?

 

[flexyplay]

TIA Bloom- 

PPR dynasty MUST start a rookie and I have CColeman and DWash (DET) out-

1. For this week, top options are Peake (looks like Enunwa is a go), Ricardo Louis and Peyton Barber (maybe if Sims is out?)

2. Safe to drop McCluster in dynasty I assume? (for the rookie fill-in)

3. Also, saw your rankings with both DEN WRs top 10 in standard, how far does Sanders move up or down with Lynch in?

Have a great weekend!

 

[bmsarvis]

.5 ppr

In flex 

J richard , k dixon or dorsett? 

Tia

 

[hollie]

Regular starter doubtful (Newton) so it's between Tannehill or Lynch

 

[Bernie51]

I don't have any great options for RBs this week. In order of preference, which 2 RBs would you start this week?

Jennings vs. GB

Darkwa vs. GB

Rainey vs. GB

Smallwood vs. DET

For now I'm going with Smallwood and either Jennings/Darkwa depending on Jenning's game-time status. However, would Rainey be the better play against GB's rush defense?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:  0.5 PPR 

 

[red]

Thanks Sig:

gronk or bennett

  I keep going back and forth on this. Can't figure out whether Gronk will block more because of his hamstring or run more routes because Brady doesn't need him to stay in and block like Brissett did Ughh. 

 

[The General]

Cole Beasley or Jerick McKinnon .5 point PPR.

 

[USB]

manning

mathews

hilton pryor (hope you played fitz, but i had him lower w stanton)

Played Fitz. Hilton over Pryor for WR2 (td-only), right?

Fitz gonna keep up the scoring this year?

Many thanks.

 

[Power Monster]

Two this week:

Standard TE - Hunter Henry or M Bennett ( looking like Gates is a GTD and do not want to risk Henry's red zone target depletion vs. the Gronk factor). 

Standard WR - Pick two of the 3:

DJax

M Wallace

Inman 

TIA

 

[Captain Crunk]

Hey SIg!

.5 PPR -- I have issues with bye weeks bur more so injuries.

Flex - I currently have SIms locked in but he is not looking good to go on Monday.  My other healthy options are DeAngelo or Tevin Coleman.  The rest of my bench is Latavius, Diggs, Moncrief.  I am not crazy about either of my healthy options but I am leaning towards DWill at this moment, considering Coleman's Sickle Cell, since I don't really want to drop anyone for a waiver guy.  Fozzy, Smallwood, Asiata, Wallace, Woods, and Coates are on my wire.

Thanks in advance!
