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

[FGITLOTR]

Sig,

Please pick two out of four (PPR)

Crowell (assuming he plays)

Jordan Matthews

Mike Wallace

Boom Herron

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks as always Bloom - big playoff matchup where I went in as a 20 pt underdog, but we're fairly even now with my Murray and his Dez. Given the matchup, my original strategy was to view my decisions more like a GPP, with fairly high correlation - now that Murray has leveled the playing field, curious to hear your input on a couple of decisions:

PPR with length of TD bonuses, D scoring heavily weighted to turnovers, TDs, over points against:

QB: Rivers (Tannehill)

RB: Murray, Vereen (L Miller)

WR: DT, Hopkins (T Smith)

Flex: Graham

TE: Gronk

PK: Gostkowski

DEF: Miami (KC, TEN) - Miami at home, highest turnovers of the 3, KC away, hard to trust Ten against boom/bust giants

1. Should being evenly matched for the remaining 8 players change anything?

2. RB2 - Vereen or Miller

3. DEF - MIA, KC, or TEN

4. WR2 - if not MIA in DEF, Does Torrey Smith over Hopkins make some sense?

no

miller

MIA

hopkins in

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR: Hill or Bailey? Leaning Hill.

Non-PPR: Hill, Crowell, Mathews, Bernard? Leaning Hill or Mathews.

What do you think of Amari Cooper's value in the NFL next year?

bailey

bernard

strong WR2, but not a WR1, because that is a HIGH bar. top 15-20 pick in draft, not top 5

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1 pt PPR. I'm already down 30+pts after Thursday.

I have Forsett and Herron starting at RB. Benjamin and Stills at WR.

Currently have Crowell in flex.

Who would you flex: Crowell, Vereen, JStew or Bailey?

Besides the Flex, would you bump any of the remaining three into the starting lineup?

As always, thanks for the advice, Sigmund!

bailey. otherwise good

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard yardage, 1/4 ppr. Playoffs. 2rb, 3wr, flex

A) Pick 3 for rb / flex: l. Bell, mccoy, mason, crowell, ingram, j. Bell (illiquid trade market)

B) Pick 1 wr: colston, s bailey or waiver options adams, malc floyd, randle, woods

C) jordan reed, fleener or cameron if active

Caveat on above, starting brees, playing a guy starting stills and graham. Leaning bailey

League 2, not playoffs but win and in. Standard, non ppr.

D) sanchez or newton

E) pick 1: ingram, forsett, crowell

F) flex: eitehr of not choosen on e), beckham, m evans

Thanks as always!

[Macdaddy_2004]

Need high upside in 2qb league behind my qb1 Russell Wilson

Sanchez or Stanton.

Leaning Stanton as I could see the offence go through him today.

 

[Leo2228]

Is D Allen playing this week

who a better play

D Allen @ Cle

T wright @ SD

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I'm an underdog this week (though Cutler got me off to a nice start). Going against the Rodgers owner.

.5 PPR

I need TWO of the following (I'm already starting Jordy on MNF):

Gio Bernard vs Steelers

Jeremy Hill vs Steelers

Crowell vs Colts

Roddy White @ Packers (also have Davante Adams on bench in case Roddy late scratch)

--the Cincy RB situation is a headache; not sure if I should roll the dice on Roddy; Crowell w/ great matchup, but gimpy hip

both CIN backs

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR - Clay or Wright at TE?

Holding out that clay isn't a scratch but at least he's the early game

can you get sims instead of clay?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

NonPPR

Fred Jackson or Carlos Hyde

fjax

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig:

As an emergency backup/streamer QB, who do you like best for weeks 15/16:

Mettenberger (NYJ, @ Jax)

McCoy (@ Giants, PHI)

fitz

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sit 1:

T Mason

F Jackson

Crowell

stills

Maclyn

So far I'm sitting maclyn, feels wrong.

maclin

 

[Libra930]

Non-ppr, which 3 RBs?

Team 1

Ingram v Car

J. Bell v TB

Crowell v Indy

Herron @ Cle

or Williams @ Ten if Jennings is out.

Team 2

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Thanks so much in advance. 12 team PPR.

J. Stewart or S. Vereen?

Need 2 flex plays of these 4 - St. Smith, Mal. Floyd, R. Wayne and whicher of Stewart or Vereen doesn't go in as RB?

stew

smiff and vereen

 

[tangfoot]

Marion Grice, Jonathan Stewart, or Andre Williams. 0.5 PPR

 

[T. Bagger]

Hi Sig,

Thanks as always for doing this. I think I know what you'll say, but I'm double checking anyway plus you've been an incredible good luck charm for me since I've won three straight after you've answered me and of course it's playoff time.

I need one of the following RB's:

Tre Mason

The Crow

Jeremy Hill

Andre Williams

Bishop Sankey

Also, if by chance Demaryius Thomas looks iffy, which is a better alternative:

Jordan Matthews

Sammy Watkins

Thanks again, and good luck today yourself.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, PPR league, a couple of borderline decisions:

Start 2 of Ingram, Crowell and Herron

Start 2 of Watkins, Garcon, Reed, John Brown and Rudolph.

Got off to a bad start on Thursday (he had Bennett, I started Hitchens).

Thanks!

sit crowell

reed and watkins

 

[Bryan's Bad Decisions]

Pick 2, standard:

Herron

Crowell

R Matthews

J Hill

L Miller

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Going against Luck and a pretty stacked line up and had a down game from Dez

Considering S. Hill at (who has that guy?) Washington over M Ryan on the road outside at night

ryan

 

[braveulysses]

crowell, miller or stewart. 1ppr

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig.

PPR

TE:

Fleener @ Cle

Donnell @ Ten

Flex:

Watkins @ Den

Torrey @ Mia

Gio v Pit

Cheers

fleener

gio

 

[nastynate]

Need a flex -- j matthews or j Landry?

 

[SpruceGoose]

Any particular reason you like Gio over Hill this week?

Thanks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

As always, thanks for what you do Sig!

Who's the better risk - Rashad Jennings or Charles Clay? 32 team league and my other options are abysmal (Goodwin or Doyle).

FWIW, my other RB/WR/TE starters are Andre Williams, Greg Jennings, Charles Johnson, ODB, Preston Parker, and Greg Olsen. AW mitigates some of RJ's risk. I'm the underdog.

ugh. just not getting a good vibe on jennings. clay and pray

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need a flex -- j matthews or j Landry?

landry

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sigmund,

I'm down 30 out of the gate due to Jeffery and Bennett. First week of the playoffs.

Here's my question: standard scoring. Have Brees, D. Thomas, J. Gordon, C.J. Anderson, Tre Mason, Gronk, ODB Jr. at flex, and Prater and Detroit.

I have a choice of Gore or Herron or Denard Robinson at either the two RB spots or flex.

What lineup should I go with?

Thanks,

RA

i wouldnt change it.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Highest ceiling play this week... Kelce, Donnell, or Rudolph.

Thanks much!

kelce

 

[Sigmund Bloom]
