[alexmvargas]

QB heavy league where TD's count for six and I have been streaming QB's all season...

Start Tannehill

OR pick up Flacco or Johnny Football to carry me to a title?

Can only pick up one as I am down to my last dollar in cap space.

Thanks!

 

[bluesmanbw]

ok, giving you another chance...your Fitzpatrick over Edelman pick knocked me out of playoffs in another league...still alive in this one...ppr...2nd rb and flex...herron, l murray, crowell, manziel, orton, d anderson?? Julio looks like toast...h douglas or j matthews? let's get this one right! thanks

 

[Jockstraps]

IF... Julio is active would you play him over Stills? IF....Julio isnt active would you play Sanchez over Ryan? thank you!

 

[T. Bagger]

Hi Sig,

Probably some coin flip choices here, but let's do this anyway...

The thorniest issue is at QB, where the choices are either Drew Brees or Matt Ryan. Ryan is at home in the dome against your beloved Steelers, but with an either missing or hobbled Julio. Brees is on the road Monday night against the train wreck that is the Bears. Weather in Chicago calls for light rain and about 10 mph winds throughout the game. Temps should be in the 40 range.

My opponent has Big Ben. Besides the dome/home factor, shall I lean to Ryan on the theory that if Big Ben goes off and it's a high scoring game Ryan will have to throw often to compensate? Or lean to Brees in a game the Saints must win and take the chance the imploding Bears continue to suck and Brees winds up handing off most of the second half? I've been playing Brees all year and normally like having a Monday night player. Wondering if I'm overthinking all the other factors listed above.

At running back I'm deciding between Jeremy Hill and the Crow. In my mind basically this one comes down to who is more likely to crack the end zone.

Finally and maybe easier is at WR (we play TE's as just another receiver option, no dedicated TE position). Here the choices for my third receiver are Gronk, Sammy Watkins, and Jordan Matthews. Normally I'd play Gronk and not think twice but it seems like the other NE receivers are all questionable which may focus more attention on Gronk, Sammy more or less came to life last week in Denver, and the Sunday night Eagles/Cowboys game could be a shootout. My other two WR's are ODB and Demaryius.

So to summarize (need one of each):

Brees/Ryan

Hill/Crow

Gronk/Watkins/Matthews


I've been rolling since you've been adding your two cents to my decisions. Let's keep it up.

Thanks as always and good luck to you this week.

Bad shtick dude

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Major $ decisions this week. Thousands on the line. No pressure.

High stakes league, TD heavy. No PPR,1 point for 20 yards.

RB2- Joique, Lamar Miller, Jeremy Hill, FJax, or Blount (have a waiver claim on him I should win but may not). Must start one behind Jamaal Charles.

WR3 - Evans or Gordon (could start both but then would have to bench Antonio Brown or Jordy Nelson)

Different $ league. This one is performance scoring, 1 PPR, 1 point per 10 yards.

Need 1 RB, 2 WRs, and 1 flex out of:

FJax, Rashad Jennings, Andre Williams, Branden Oliver, Reggie Bush, Josh Gordon, Mike Wallace, and Kenny Stills. Forte and AB locked in.

TIA, brah.

 

[AJD-10]

Sound strategy or over-thinking?

Background Info: favored by 30 (bloated projection), 6 pts per passing TD:

Choice: Start Brees (@ Chi, rain forecasted, Colston is my WR3) or Roethlisberger (@Atl, Dome, opponent's WR1 is Antonio Brown)?

My take: Leaning Roethlisberger to diversify investments, neutralize Brown & eliminate weather concerns.

Sound strategy or over-thinking? Your take is appreciated!

 

[starks]

You da man Sig!

Romo or Sanchize?

 

[playsccr]

Non ppr: pick 3:

Chris Johnson

Blount

Lamar miller

Jonathan Stewart

Starks

 

[Simplysexie]

With julio At best a decoy, pick one RB and two flex in ppr: crow/Jstew/stills/MLee/Moncrief/ MWilson?

Matchup is predicted to b even.

Thank you.

 

[Rnewhouse14]

Hi Sigmund,

Thanks for all your help so far. Here are my dilemmas:

Same league, .5 ppr

2nd WR, need one:

Sammy Watkins, Roddy White, Steve Smith, or Kenny Stills

Flex spot:

One of the remaining above WR's, or Isaiah Crowell / Latavius Murray

 

[Darryl Talley]

TB @ CAR

or

NYJ @ TEN

 

[az1538]

Thanks, Sig!

Jets D/ST @ a crappy TEN

or

Pats D/ST vs Miami

Flex (Non-PPR):

SJax, L. Murray, Stills, Douglas

Favorite Zeppelin album and why?

Leaning SJax since he's been consistent the last 4-5 weeks. I like Stills, but Brees throws TDs to everyone on the offense. Hell, if Brees could grab the locker room janitor and put him in for a play, he'd throw a TD to him.

Thanks!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hello Mr. Bloom!

Help me reach the finals!!

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

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

Qb

Ryan vs Pit

sanchez vs dal

Got Ryan in right now. even if Julio is out I think ryan can shred Pitts Def. Sanchez will probably put up numbers too but hard to trust.

Rb

lynch vs SF

Murray @ phi

Bench: herron, blue, Randle

strength of my team. No doubt starters here

Wr

maclin vs dal

Djax @ nyg

Stedman bailey vs arz

moncrief vs IND

Charles Johnson @ det

Maclin must start. Djax looks like he will play and it looks like colt McCoy will as well which is good news for him right? Charles Johnson is heating up and I like his chances even on the road vs a good def. I like moncrief this week but seems risky. Bailey seems hit or miss. leaning maclin, djax, Johnson here. if djax sits put in moncrief. agree?

Te

fleener vs hou

I know allen is back, but I think fleener remains a good play. Allen is actually on my ww and I have thought about dropping fleener for him.

K

tucker vs Jax

Def

NE vs mia

Thoughts?

ryan inmoncrief over djax

So are you thinking djax is too hurt to start? He's been money when he has played with colt. Just feel like I don't know if the Colts will use moncrief this week. Just trying to understand your logic.

i just get a shaky feeling from everything WAS right now. With Luck moncrief only has to get free once or twice to have a good day

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Last question from me Sig, (I think)

Pick 3 WR's from this group:

Maclin

Garcon

M. Floyd

Hurns

Lafell

Cooper

Kamar

Thx, and happy holidays!

maclin

lafell

garcon (if djax inactive)

aiken (if tsmith inactive)

malcom floyd

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

0.5 PPR - Pick 3:

AJ Green, Julio Jones (let's say he's playing at less than 100%), Mike Evans, Deandre Hopkins

sit julio regardless

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

How would you rank these player i know Bell is number 1

And which two would you play i like Bell and lacy but Lacy plays Buf and they have a good D

E lacy @ BUF

T Mason vs ARI

J Stewart vs TB

L Bell @ ATL --no brainer

bell

lacy

stew

mason

I have G Olsen vs tb is he a good play sense Cam is gone

i saw J Reed @ NYG and J Cameron on WW

and if Lacy can"t go should i pick up Starks or should i play Stewart

i could cut mason and keep Stew on roster am in Semifinal

olsen

starks w/o lacy > stewart, but lacy will play

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Gm, pick one RB and one Flex in ppr: Crowell/jStew/Starks/stills/MLee.

Fyi: match up predicted to b even.

Ty

[Sigmund Bloom]

I probably already know the answer, but need to see if you would start Stedman tonight in a PPR. Other viable flex options:

R Bush

L Murray

Martavis B. <- current

Harvin

D Allen

Randle

yup MB

So, a quick followup. Do you like Harry Douglas over Bryant if Julio is out? I'd have to drop someone like McKinnon (dynasty) to get him and block the julio owner. Is it worth trading next year potential for a potential title now?

dont do that

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom, 0.5 PPR league. I have the following players to consider for 3 spots:

Latavius Murray

Lamar Miller

Isaiah Crowell

Chris Johnson

Kenny Stills

I've had Lamar Miller in there so far this week but with them limiting his touches and playing the pats on the road, I get the feeling the other RBs have much higher ceilings than him this week. I might need some of that higher ceiling as my opponent is favored by the projections.

thank you!

crow

murray

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

One more (PPR) league, where I can start 3 of the following:

D Thomas (@SD)

Charles Johnson @DET)

M Bryant (@ATL)

R Wayne (HOU)

M Crabtree (@SEA)

A Johnson (@IND)

Top three? If so, would you consider starting Fleener over any of the three (as a flex)?

Thanks for the input, Sig. I don't see an answer to this one, though (from the first page). Would you start Wayne or Crabtree over Martavis Bryant or Charles Johnson (PPR)?

nope.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

One more question... I can start one of the following (0.75 PPR):

LaFell (MIA)

M. Bryant @ATL

Boldin @SEA

getting a good feeling about bryant

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig - Merry Christmas to you..

Standard league - who would you start Julio if he goes or Jordan Matthews..

Thanks..

matthews

 

[PatrickT]

lol, I've been trying to get rid of him for weeks and you and dynastynerds keep talking me out of it. I hope he's worth it!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig, one more to review please.

PPR Scoring. Here’s where I’m at this morning:

QB – Russell Wilson

RB – Fred Jackson

RB – C.J. Anderson

WR – Roddy White

WR – Julian Edelman

TE – Rob Gronkowski

W/R/T – Isaiah Crowell

Bench: WR Julio Jones, RB Eddie Lacy, RB Latavius Murry, RB Shane Vereen, WR Andre Johnson, RB Carlos Hyde, RB Juwan Thompson

Sitting Jones and Lacy until I can proceed with confidence! Any additional thoughts here?

Thank you so much!

id probably still go lacy over crow just bc of GB offense efficiency and unknown of CLE, but i wont talk you out of crow

 

[KOTC]

1pt ppr in both leagues:

League #1 - pick 2 RBs

Latavius Murray

Jeremy Hill

Reggie Bush

Shane Vereen

League #2 - pick 1 rb and 1 flex

Lacy

Gio

Starks

Vereen

Lamar Miller

Keenan Allen

Douglas

Moncreif

Wilson

Thanks for your help!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Julio Jones owner, if Julio plays do I start? Should I worry about him being a decoy? Or should I replace with Cobb or Josh Gordon?

cobb

 

[The Captain]

Non-PPR flex with the most upside:

Andre Williams or Delanie Walker

Third RB:

Blount or Joique or Herron

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need to start two of the four below. .1 PPR.

RB - Raiders Murray

RB - Giants Jennings

RB - Panthers Stewart

WR - Dolphins Wallace

murray and stew

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Blooms.

QB: Sanchez or Johnny Football

[SIZE=13.6000022888184px].5 ppr n[/SIZE]eed 1 FLEX and 1 WR of these players

Eman Sanders (starting)

Mike Evans (flex)

Julio Jones (50/50; but cant risk a decoy game and/or 2nd half shut down)

Crow

J Hill

TE: I have Donnell and praying he does half of what he did against WASH earlier this season. Other options are Reed/D Allen/Miller/Rivera/Ertz

Also do you think Telvin Smith is a good play this week @ BLT? Thanks dude!

johnny

sanders evans

donnell

thumbs up on smith

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig-

I forgot about this team....

Eli or Sanchez?

Thanks in advance!

sanchez but coinflip

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig... big fan, longtime FG member, first post.

I'm a 4 seed who made it in w/o Calvin most of the year, but I'm going against the 1-seed (Luck, Leveon, A Brown combo), so I'm a slight underdog. Then again, my combo of Calvin-DMurray-Gronk isn't shabby. But I want some upside.

12-team, 0.5 PPR, big play bonus

QB: (6 pt TDs)

Manziel or Wilson.

Heavily leaning JFF. Crazy or agree?

WR: (Need 2)

Nuk Hopkins, Sammy Watkins, Moncrief, Landry

Sold on Nuk at WR2 I think. Struggling with FLEX, scared of Landry's matchup.

My dilemma:

- Love Moncrief's upside regardless. (IMO, Wayne a ceremonial start.) But I happen to be going against Luck, so does it become a smarter play?

- Watkins has come through but also been hot-and-cold. Orton, GB defense has been good other than Julio, etc.

Too wild to go Moncrief > Watkins? Same risk with both guys being boom or bust?

What would you do?

Thanks & May the GRONKSMASH be with you!

i have wilson ahead but i get it

hopkins moncrief

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Ppr league 4 point paying TDs:

Need to start 2 rbs out of

Lacy

Jennings

Joique

Crowell

Only concerned about the top two might be in time shares this week

Matt Ryan or Johnny football

Leaning Ryan

Starting odb, Manny Sanders, and antonio brown...smart keeping josh Gordon and edelman benched?

bell and lacy

johnny

looks good
