[Sigmund Bloom]

Awesome that you do this each week Bloom. Need RB/flex help in my league where I went from 1st to 5th in 3 weeks and am in danger of missing the playoffs.

Need to start 2x RB's of the following (NON-PPR):

• Ellington @ ATL
• T. Mason vs. OAK
• J. Hill @ TB
• Crowell @ BUF
• Herron vs. WAS

Then of the remaining 3 RB's & the below WR's, I need to pick 1 flex:

• D. Hopkins vs. TEN
• Watkins vs. CLE
• K. Allen @ BAL

thanks in advance & Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Sigmund. Thanks for all you do.

Need some help in my PPR flex. Pretty simple. Crow or BMarsh?

My thinking is that Cutler/Marshall/Jeffery were shut down by their old coach knowing how best, to do so. Which has me thinking Marshall can get it together this week. However, I like Crowell. I just get scared of the Browns Shannahanigans for my playoffs.

I need your guidance Obi Wan

[Sigmund Bloom]

Here's one more... how much do you like Jordan Cameron assuming he returns this week in PPR? I have dwayne allen, but don't know how effective he'll be on the ankle and probably sharing with fleener more. Tim Wright, Fasano, quarless and sefarian-jenkins are the only other real options out there.

Thanks again.

cameron

 

[Andrew74]

12 team, 0.5 PPR. Pick two of Ingram, Morris, Crowell.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

thanks for doing this. Please help me make the playoffs in 2 leagues

League 1

6 pts all tds, -3 ints, rtn stats, 1 ppr

Start qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, te, k, def

Pick one qb

Sanchez @ dal

Ryan vs arz

Really leaning sanchez. I want no part of arz def.

Rbs are good i think

Lynch @ sf

Murray vs phi

Bench: blue, randle, herron

Pick 3 wr

Maclin @ dal

Djax @ ind

Harvin vs mia

Vjax vs cinci

This is where i am really struggling. Maclin for sure. I think djax with news that colt is starting. Really hard to trust any of the others. Thinking about getting john brown to play. Thoughts? Harvin has been good cause of the rtn stats, but hit a new low this past week. VJAX has been really up and down

Te

Fleener vs was

other options on the wire include allen, miller, wright, clay....are any of these better?

K

Tucker @ sd

Def

Mn vs car

Ne @ gb

Mn looks good to me.

League 2

Same starting pos as above. Same scoring except .5 ppr

Qb

Brees @ pit

Rb

Pick two

Vereen @ gb

Crowell @ buf

Ivory vs mia

Herron vs was

L. Murray vs stl

Ball hurt

Got vereen and crowell in right now. herron and murray are tempting though. Agree?

Wr

Pick 3

Allen vs bal

M. Bryant vs no

Wallace @ nyj

Harvin vs mia

Got allen, bryant and wallace in right now. Agree?

Te

Cameron @ Buf

TE has killed me this year. take a chance with Cameron or I could pick up wright, Daniels,davis, ertz, miller?

K

Parkey @ dal

Def

Clv @ buf

Ne @ gb

Clv looks good to me but I could pick up MN on the wire. are they better than CLV?

Thanks again, I know its a lot of questions....

sanchez

sit vjax

herron over vereen

cameron if he plays

MIN over CLE

everything else soudns good

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Who do you start between Stafford and Tannehill? 5 pts per TD pass and 1 pt per 20 yds passing.

Different league.....I need to start 3 of these 4 WRs.....10 team PPR

Julio, Cobb, Marshall, K Allen.........who sits?

Thanks.

tannehill but its tight, trust your gut

sit allen

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Dynasty keeper PPR

Had a deal on the table last night where I give up megatron and get Josh Gordon, which I rejected. Heavily considering the deal though if he adds a third or fourth for next year. Deadline at midnight tonight.

I feel like Gordon could give me a better shot the next four weeks at the ship, but still worried he could be back at the dealership instead of on the turf for me next year, hence the request for the pick. Plus I feel I'd be selling high on Calvin while he is still viewed as the number one WR by most. I'm currently in the third of four seeds with two weeks to go in before the playoffs.

Calvin was a charter keeper of mine and he picked up Gordon off the wire so I would not be losing anything as far as keeper draft slot value. Either would both be drafted for me in the last round.

What are your thoughts? And thanks as always. Travel safe my man.

hold calvin

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks for doing this early again!

Team in sig --non PPR -- does this look like the best lineup?

QB - A. Rogers

RB - M. Lynch, D. Robinson

WR - G. Tate, O. Beckham Jr.

TE - L. Donnell

FLEX - F. Jackson

PK - Parkey

Def -Miami (also have GB and Ravens)

looks good to me, would be interested what TEs are on WW tho

Available TE's include: Wright, Cameron, Celek, Ertz, Rivera, Paul, M. Lewis, Qaurless, Rodgers, Chandler, Gresham ...among others... would you start any of those over Donnell?

cameron is interesting

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

TEs(Allen/Clay) are all banged up and waivers run in the am

My options:

Rudolf

Wright

Celek

Paul

Or hold and hope one of the injured guys play

I know it's ugly, so I'll hang up and listen for your response

rudolph

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1. Who should I start this week between Russell and Sanchez? Went with Sanchez last week due to the matchup and Wilson scored more points with his rushing numbers. Should I go with Sanchez again due to matchup?

2. I have Decker, Shorts III, and John Brown. Need to drop one. Who should I drop?

sanchez

drop shorts

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

12 team, 0.5 PPR. Pick 3 from DT, Antonio Brown, AJ Green, Julio and Beckham.

Embarrassingly loaded at WR.

Who on earth do you drop out of Nelson, Bryant, Gordon and ODB this week ? Can only pick three. Non ppr.

Happy thanksgiving to all when it comes !

[Sigmund Bloom]

M.Ingram @PIT

D.Harron v.WAS

Jeremy Hill @TB

Joique Bell v.CHI

Ry Mathews @BAL

bell

herron

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need two from:

AJ Green

Odell Beckham Jr.

Calvin Johnson

Kelvin Benjamin

Mohammad Sanu

1 point per 10 yards, 5 bonus for each 5 recepts and 5 bonus at each 100 yards.

Brain is saying Green and Johnson, Beckham has been blowing up and Johnson hasn't been doing well.

calvin

green

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

12 team, 0.5 PPR. Pick two of Ingram, Morris, Crowell.

sit ingram

 

[stubby]

Brees or Sanchez? All TDs are 6 PTS, standard yardage, INTS are -2, and -1 for every time sacked.

Normally, I'd say Brees all day. However, NO is at Pittsburgh, which is coming off a bye and getting three starters back on defense. Weather could always be an issue in Pittsburgh, as well. Am I overthinking things? Phi-Dal game should be a shootout.

 

[Herm23]

Big game for me this week and am struggling to decide between some potentially high level options that have tough matchups or injury concerns. I need to choose 3 of these 5 to play (multiple flex spots allows me to play several running backs if I choose, so I am able to play any 3 of this group at flex spots):

Matt Forte ( vs Lions)

LeSean McCoy (vs Cowboys)

Arian Foster (vs Titans)

Odell Beckham (vs Jaguars)

Isaiah Crowell (vs Bills)

 

[Andrew74]

12 team, 0.5 PPR. Pick 3 from DT, Antonio Brown, AJ Green, Julio and Beckham.

sit beckham and julioWTF? did i just type that?

Dynasties can be fun.

 

[Wrigley]

One more quick one

Non ppr

L Murray or BOOM Herron?

 

[joey]

Cutler or Stafford? It's like flipping a coin at this point.

 

[AwesomeAuger]

What are your thoughts on Fred Jackson for the rest of the year? Did he look healthy enough to trust as a ppr rb2?

 

[elitzer]

1st question in ppr league.should I start joique bell for sure points or hope that arian foster plays.and if he plays will be worth alot more than bell

2nd question.in ppr should I start stills or hopkins

thanks.

 

[#beastmode]

Is Brandon Marshall a must-start this week? I'm worried about DET's pass rush really getting to Cutler. If I were to bench Marshall, I could play Mason as my flex. My other options would be Crowell, Herron, Gore, VJax, and Donnell. But I'm really just debating between Marshall and Mason. Thanks!

 

[Black]

1. Who should I start this week between Russell and Sanchez? Went with Sanchez last week due to the matchup and Wilson scored more points with his rushing numbers. Should I go with Sanchez again due to matchup?

2. I have Decker, Shorts III, and John Brown. Need to drop one. Who should I drop?

sanchez

drop shorts

Heh heh.

Happy thanksgiving to all when it comes !

one of gordon and ODB. lean benching gordon

assuming you meant Dez Bryant...based on Sigmund's other rankings, etc.

 

[Deucalian]

Regular season championship on the line: Cutler or Cam and Joique or Ingram. Pitt and Chi run defenses are similar on paper, but I'm not sure which to go with. Please provide some insight on both. Thanks!

Rest of team: (12 tm league) Crow, Demaryious, Benjamin, Gronk, Jimmy Graham, Houston D/ST

cam

bell - bell has just been playing better last game or two, better receiver too

 

[Grilledeggs]

Non-PPR dynasty would you trade K. Benjamin, M.Wallace, and C. Hyde for A. Brown? It improves my lineup for this year and I only really take a hit on Hyde for the future.

 

[Kuz]

Non PPR - would you start Julio or Jordan Matthews as WR3

TIA

 

[CataclysmicThunder]

Start Cameron or Ebron? Thanks.

Edit: PPR.

 

[anicholsnj]

1) Non PPR

Need to pick 3 for this week

Tre mason, Alfred Morris, the Crow, and CJ Anderson

2) PPR

Jeremy hill, Fred Jackson, or Tre Mason

Currently have hill starting

Thanks as always

 

[southeastjerome]

Bloom, Happy Thanksgiving!

I am in a total points, start 2 QB, PPR keeper league. I have a decent lead (85 points, league avg weekly score is around 170). I was offered Luck and Julio Jones (neither have keeper value) for Russ Wilson, Kelce (20th round keeper), and Watkins (8th round keeper). My current WRs are Jordy, Watkins, Mike Wallace and Torrey Smith. So Julio would be an upgrade. My current QBs are Wilson and Brady. Do you think the upgrade from Wilson to Luck and Watkins to Julio is worth giving up Kelce's big keeper value? It is worth noting that I probably will not keep Watkins anyways as you can only keep 2 players, and already keeping Le'Veon in round 7.

 

[bsr78]

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving

QB start, 6pt. TD ... J Cutler or E Manning?

Much Thanks!
