Sunday Morning Questions for Bloom - Week 14 (1 Viewer)

[Baloney Sandwich]

Thoughts on Julius Thomas playing this weekend? I have Jordan Reed as my other option but he has an early game while JT is late.

 

[montana_grizzly_bears]

Would you go with R.Jennings, A. Williams, or R Bush. Ppr?

 

[kyoun1e]

.5 points per reception.

T. Mason @WASH

or.

J. Bell vs TB?

 

[kyoun1e]

.5 points per reception:

J. Gordon vs INDY (Minus V. Davis)

or.

E. Sanders vs BUF

 

[kyoun1e]

QB scoring heavily weighted for TDs (only 1 pt per 50 yards passing, 6 pts TD)

C. Kaep @OAK

or

M. Sanchez vs SEA

 

[Archer]

Bloom can't decide my lineup in the playoffs this weekend. We start 1qb, 2rb, 3wr, 1 te, and 1 flex at rb/wr/te. Currently leaning towards bold players, but would you make any changes? Thanks and good luck this weekend!!!

Brees, Ryan

Charles, Morris, Bernard, J. Hill (out touched Gio last week?), Stewart

Calvin, Julio, V. Jax, Garcon (with DeSean out maybe??), Hawkins, Hurns

Graham, Olsen

 

[PatrickT]

You have D Allen .1 points ahead of J Cameron in PPR. Assuming Cameron goes, who do you feel has the bigger upside here? Seems to me Allen is safe, but Cameron could go off against the Davis-less Colts D.

 

[Archer]

Which stud WR do you bench this weekend in PPR scoring leagues?

Cobb vs Falcons (MNF)

AJG vs Steelers

Calvin vs Bucs

Julio @ GB (MNF)

Sanders vs Bills

Keep going back and forth between benching Cobb or Sanders. Last week I started Cobb over Julio and was wrong, so going with your gut this week

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Pick two

J Hill vs Pit

T Mason @ Was

L Murrey vs SF

R Mattews vs NE

Pick 1

C Fleener @ Cle

G Olsen

Pick 2

J Forsett @ Mia

L Bell @ Cin

M Ingram vs Car

Thanks Sig

Man Culter scored 27 point last night i hope Cam can match that

hill

mason

olsen

forsett

bell

the bears defense was so bad that cutler got a 35-7 garbage time deficit come back from, but i'll never recommend a player based on garbage time, too unpredictable

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig. Thank you for your help in getting me in the playoffs. I need help choosing one player at my flex position. It is a PPR.

White at GB

Herron at Clv.

Sanu vs Pit

Thanks

Tony

[Sigmund Bloom]

Out of the roster in my signature I am starting the following:

Wilson, Foster, Lynch, Anderson, Stills, Kelce, Gotskowski, Steelers

I am thinking about solidifying roster strength for playoffs. Adams, Bailey, Moncrief, McKinnon, and Pierre Thomas are all available on the waiver. Would dropping any of the guys on the roster for one of the Free Agents be a good move. And if so who would you drop and add?

floyd for bailey

sankey for thomas

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

ODB @ TEN

Hilton @ CLE

Non-PPR. Thanks.

ODB

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR league. Who do I flex?

M. Evans, T. Mason, D. Herron, I. Crowell, F. Gore, M. Grice

Evans obviously has a lot of upside, but DET's pass rush worries me. McCown may not be able to make those big throws to Evans. Mason also has a lot of upside, but not the best of match-ups this week. Herron has a good match-up, but IND is still committed to using T-Rich as well. I love Crowell's match-up, but his new injury worries me, even if he plays. Gore has a great match-up, but he hasn't been productive this season. Grice could be the starter this week, but we don't know how he will perform with it.

I would say my top 3 right now would be Evans, Mason, and Herron. I might play Crowell if it's clear this injury will not affect him during the game. I don't really plan on using Gore or Grice.

Thanks Sig!

mason evans herron

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Now that Davis is ruled out. In standard scoring with a bonus at 100 yds start 3 of the following (listed in current order):

Calvin Johnson

ODB

Gordon

Cobb

Hilton

Benjamin

Stills

yes the first 3

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Sig thanks again.

I am fortunate enough (via auction draft) to have this choice:

Antonio Brown @Cin

Jordy Nelson vs ATL

Emanuel Sanders vs BUF

Josh Gordon vs IND.

Play 3, 0.5 PPR, I am currently slotting in Gordon over Sanders, based on Vontae Davis being out and BUF actually doing pretty well vs some WRs (Gordon) and their pass rush and run defense vs Manning and CJA. On the other hand Buf has played several poor offenses and when not gave up multi-TD games to NE, SD & MIA. Also if Julius is out I would think that bodes extra looks and RZ chances for Sanders,

Thoughts?

Best of luck to you and your own teams tomorrow. - Thanks.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

First and foremost, thanks for all that you do. Not only did I make the playoffs this year due to your help but won the first round.

The Ellington injury has me worried for this round now that Crowell is my RB2 and I'm starting someone new in my flex. So, choose one of the following (0.5 PPR):

S. Taylor

D. Baldwin

D. Adams

R. Woods

Currently I'm rolling with Woods. What do you think?

yup woods

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

12 Team, 1pt PPR, QB TD = 5, Rushing TD = 6

QB

Cam Newton

Sanchez

Hill

TE

Kelce

Reed

Thanks!

cam

reed

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Just like that down by 30 thanks to Murray. Had woods in but should I go for higher ceiling with moncrief as underdog already? Other options are an ATL WR (white or Douglas), Charles Johnson or Davante Adams? Thx

if we're shooting for the surprise huge game, johnson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need 2 from the following non-ppr:

Julio Jones @ Packers

TY Hilton @ Browns

Josh Gordon v Colts

Mark Ingram v Panthers

Thanks!

jones and gordon

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey sig,

Got a good problem I guess.

Ppr league need 2 of the following wrs

gordon, julio, odb.

Same league

How confident are you in rolling out Rashad jennings even if he plays?

He is my rb2. I have crow and fjax behind him who would you roll out if you don't have confidence in jennings

id sit ODB but its very close, no wrong answer

i would play fjax in ppr

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig-

Thanks in advance. I have done well all season, but have been hit with injuries at precisecly the wrong time, here is my lineup:

1 PPR

QB - Rodgers

RB - Lynch

WR - A.Brown

WR - Cobb

TE - Olsen

Flex (RB/WR/TE)

Flex (RB/WR/TE)

Normally I roll Roddy White and Larry Fitz in the 2 flex spots and I have never had to look back, but given both have later games and how they are listed on the injury reports I'm not exactly confident to start them. So out of my bench options what 2 would you play:

RB - J.Stewart

RB. - C.Ivory

WR - R.White

WR - L.Fitzgerald

WR - Malcom Floyd

TE - Dwayne Allen

I am leaning towards Floyd (if fitz is active then I can shift him in my lineup before that game as Floyd is SNF),

and

J.Stew.

stew and floyd. if white practices today, stew and white

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks to suspensions and injuries I have to start one of these RBs Bloom....PPR scoring, who would you insert and cry over?

Helu or Trent Richardson

I know...brutal :(

helu and pray

 

[mdf51]

Standard leage.

Pick 3: Shady, ODB, Gordon, Mason

Much thanks

 

[HughHoney]

PPR, Sanu, Grice, S Taylor, or Chris Johnson. Thanks.

 

[pb187]

Do I take a chance with Rashad Jennings or play Andre Wiiliams?

 

[AMT]

Rashad Jennings or Stepfan Taylor given Rashad is active but no other information is available? PPR.

 

[pjoner]

pick two, PPR

J Hill vs PIT

J Maclin vs SEA

R White @ GB

I do not have a Monday night alternative

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks for the time Sig!

Sit 1 out of: Joique/Lamar/Crowell?

Also, who to start at WR3: Malcolm Floyd or Nate Washington?

Non-PPR. I already got stomach punched by DeMarco so I need upside.

Thanks again!

crowell sits

floyd in

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig, I really appreciate the help!

Made the playoffs in all three of my leagues this year, so I'm trying to keep it going. I really had to do a lot of work to get a solid lineup together in my one league, but I am pretty happy with where it is at. Here is my starting lineup as of this moment: (10 team, standard scoring and they are projecting a tie so pretty much as even as it gets.)

QB: Ryan

QB: McCoy

WR: Thomas

WR: Beckham

WR: Gordon

RB: CJ Anderson

RB: L. Miller

TE: Allen

FLEX: J. Hill

DEF: St. Louis

BN: Sanchez, Herron, Edelman, Ellington, H. Miller, A. Peterson

Obviously concerned with QB2, and wondering about the FLEX too.

Thanks again!

sanchez over mccoy

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

First time poster, long time follower on the Twitter. Thanks for all your work you do throughout the season and beyond.

Team Doof isn't looking to do much damage in the playoffs with the current squad but here we go:

QB: Tannehill

WR: Jeffery

WR: Benjamin

RB: Crowell

RB: Herron

WR: Cobb

TE: Donnell

K: Tucker

DEF: Packers

Bench:

QB: Rivers

WRs: M. Wallace and Moncrief

RB: L. Murray and (ish) Jonathan Stewart

Do you like the current lineup as is or any suggestions? I've been waffling back and forth with Wallace and Benjamin as the Saints completely shut down KB last time they played. Also struggling with the Rivers and Tannehill decision after RT really let me and a lot of others down last week.

.5 ppr

Good luck everyone in their playoff matchups this week.

rivers

wallace

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

0.5 PPR. Pick two:

Andre Williams

Herron

J-Stew

Ivory

Sankey

Assuming Rashad doesn't go I have Andre and J-stew in.

If rashad is active I think I switch Andre for Herron.

Thoughts?

stew and herron either way

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

garcon over vjax

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

You have D Allen .1 points ahead of J Cameron in PPR. Assuming Cameron goes, who do you feel has the bigger upside here? Seems to me Allen is safe, but Cameron could go off against the Davis-less Colts D.

cameron is a big play TE, but then you have gordon vacuum of targets and hoyer vs luck. probably cameron higher ceiling/lower floor

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Which stud WR do you bench this weekend in PPR scoring leagues?

Cobb vs Falcons (MNF)

AJG vs Steelers

Calvin vs Bucs

Julio @ GB (MNF)

Sanders vs Bills

[Leo2228]

Better Def this week Mia or Den

Mia vs Bal

Den vs Buf

 

[The Slider]

Not sure if TD only questions get answered, but one of my leagues has been around since before the internet.

If it were TD heavy which two would you pick between Anderson, Charles, and L Bell? At WR, Stills or ODBJ. And Rudolph or Walker (or Reed off waivers)

Thanks. Your Jeffery advice got my playoffs started right.
