Love the show guys! got a few for ya:

I posted this one in the Shark Pool and it seemed about a 50/50 split;

• Eddie Lacy vs. Giovani Bernard - both moving up the boards and will probably cost you a 3rd rd pick. Assuming you can't get both, which do you like better?

this one's more personal to my league (12-team 3-man keeper where players can only be kept after the 5th round):

• Luck, RGIII, Kaepernick, Wilson = all kept. My keepers are Lamar Miller, VJax, & TY Hilton. would you rather try to snag Newton/Ryan in the 4th or wait on the likes of Stafford / Romo in the 7th/8th?

Last question:

• I pick at 1.04 & am going with Charles/TRich/ McCoy (Spiller kept). In 2.09 IF Graham is still there, do I go with him or make a play for a MJD, Reggie Bush, etc... type of RB?

look forward to listening

Lacy

wait on QB

Graham slam dunk assuming PPR

what about in non-PPR for Graham?

NE RB's

It seemed as though, last year Belichick started to work Bolden in quit a bit as Ridley's fumbeling continued. In fact, IIRC in the Seattle game, It was almost a 50/50 split, with Bolden out producing Ridley by quite a bit before leaving the game with his season ending knee injury. If Ridley's fumbles continue this year, could you see a scenario in which the NE backfield reverts back to a committee. Or do you think Blount or Bolden could take the job outright, assuming both make the roster.

i think they'll split the work between 2 of the 3 no matter what. i do like blount and bolden as very late picks in deep leagues (ww speed dial in others) bc NE is a plug and play running game

Can't wait to listen to your show this weekend. Here goes my questions.

Steelers offense in PPR (12 teams) leagues....

1) Is Big Ben a sleeper QB1 at his late ADP?

2) Is Antonio brown a solid RB2 at his ADP or should I skip on him and pick up Emmanuel sanders later?

3) When is a good time to pick up Le'veon Bell in a 12 team PPR league? Is he looking to have a solid 2nd half of the season?

no. dink and dunk offense. poor OTs. just a QB2.

brown is a high floor WR2 in PPR leagues, but i prefer high ceiling guys in 5th/6th

9th round or so he becomes a worthy gamble. especially if you only had 2 RBs in tow at that point

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Is T.Y. Hilton overvalued and is DHB undervalued?

nope i think both are valued just about right. when has DHB ever delivered on expectations?

RB Depth vs Starting WRs

I'm in a 12 team non- ppr league with standard lineups - 2 RB / 2 WR / 1 TE /1 (RB/WR/TE) Flex.

In my league, since it's possible to start 3 RBs (and deep down that's what every owner wants to do) I find that it's impossible to trade for RBs during the season. You're basically stuck with the RBs you obtain in the auction. This makes RBs more valuable.

With this in mind, I got 4 good RBs: Jamaal Charles, Matt Forte, Daryl Richardson and Lamar Miller. As a consequence, I'm starting Alshon Jeffery as my WR2 (Demaryius Thomas is my WR1).

Here's my question: I could easily get someone like Victor Cruz or Danny Amendola for Lamar miller or Daryl Richardson, but should I? I love the fact that all 4 of my RBs have different BYE weeks, and another benefit of not trading is that I actually get to see who shakes out as the better fantasy RB between Miller and Richardson, instead of having to guess right now by trading one away. PLUS, the one thing you can always get on the waiver wire is a startable WR3-type, and I will be scouring for one all season, whether Alshon Jeffery is good or not. The same cannot be said for good RBs.

So what do you think, trade away one of my 4 highly coveted RBs to improve my WR2, or not?

Thanks in advance,

Thadonkey

would trade richardson for cruz or amendola

Got in a 10 teams 2QB/no kicker league for the first time.

2QB-2RB-3WR-1TE-1(WR/TE)-1teamdef + 6 bench.

1 PPR, std scoring (4 pts PaTD)

Did a lot of mock drafts with the iPhone app and Draft Dominator and I always felt my teams were either bad or awful. Rate my teams feature thought roughly the same.

I read your articles and it never seemed like I could get a good grip on this type of league.

What is the best strategy? Get 2 of the top 12 QBs or QBBC?

Should I consider Gronk or Graham or should I load up elsewhere?

I feel there is a lot of risk not getting at least one of the top 12 QB.

Wish I found this site before!

Cheers

i would try to get an elite QB in the first round and then wait on QB2 until there arent any great values at other positions. in general you should be able to take a player 1-2 rounds later than you would in a typical league with more QBs going early. i could see going with a 2nd QB in the 3rd or 4th round if there are no clear values and a top 12 option is still there

Nice work Mr. Bloom! Very classy to take the time to answer all of these questions during your busiest time of the year.

Thank you for answering all the questions posted here. I really appreciate all the hard work you put in and the obvious attention to your listeners and followers! (twitter that is... unless you have a cult we are unaware of... then we might want to follow you there as well...)
