[tandl71]

Hi Sigmund. TRADE. 12 team Redraft. I'm 8-1, tied for 1st in my 6-team conference (playing for week 14 "bye") and locked into playoff berth.

Team in other conference wants to trade (give) me C Palmer QB for Roethlisberger QB. I may face this guy in playoffs (wks 14-16) in week 16 (championship, final game). I own Antonio Brown WR, DeA Williams RB (K Cousins QB2); he owns L. Fitzgerald WR, Martavis Bryant WR (P Rivers QB2).

Do I trade Roethlisberger and potentially wind up facing him in the Superbowl, throwing to my stars? Thanks!

 

[Topes]

Are you aware that your microphone has been cutting out all season?

 

[Chalie14]

Good evening Sigmund,

Appreciate you doing this . . . . performance / distance league and I actually have a few good match-ups this week.

Pick 2 RB's : AP, JHill, Blount Starks

Pick 3 WR's : RCobb, ARob, ACooper, LaFell

Thanks !!

 

[MissionCoach]

Thanks in advance Sigmund.

I lost Keenan Allen and Forte in the same week. I was not able to pickup Langford on the wire. Even though I'm in first place, I know I need to pull off a trade to improve my team and make up for losing my 2 best players. Any suggestions on improving my team: (12 team PPR league) standard scoring

Bortles
Brady

A.Andrews
B.Bolden
M.Forte
M.Lynch
T.Rawls
C. Simms

D.Adams
Mi. Floyd

[MASSHOLE]

Hey Bloom,

Different kind of question here. First, as of right now, what is your outlook on Jordy? Second, in a keeper league what kind of value would you place on him (high value player name/ low value player name)? Having a difficult time gauging his value. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

 

[howo5]

Non-PPR

Langford or Stewart?

Snead, Davante Adams, Michael Floyd, or Smokey Brown at WR?

 

[edwardpig]

Trade question. Non-PPR league. I'm trying to trade away a WR for C.J. Anderson in the hopes that he returns to his end-of-season 2014 form.

My RBs: Lamar Miller, Jay Ajayi, Doug Martin, Charles Sims, Thomas Rawls, David Cobb

My WRs: Dez, Randall Cobb, Hurns, DeSean, John Brown, Marvin Jones

I have offered Marvin Jones for C.J. If his owner rejects that offer, is it worth offering John Brown? I've considered offering DeSean, but I think he could really put up big numbers against the Saints this week. I think it's obvious that Dez, Cobb and Hurns should be off the table.

Thanks.

 

[TeeDub]

How would you rank these qbs the rest of the season (6pt passing tds)

Brian Hoyer

Derrick Carr

Tyron Taylor

Tony Romo

Thanks

 

[jarridk]

Hey Sig, I'm currently 6-3, have highest cumulative score and would qualify for first round bye in 12-team standard scoring league. We start 1qb, 2 rbs, 2wrs, 1te and 1rb/wr/te.

My roster is:

Carr/Rivers

Gurley/Miller/DWill/DuJohnson/Ajayi/Coleman

Alshon/ARob/MiFloyd

Reed/Barnidge

What are your thoughts on trading Miller or DWill for AJGreen and CJA? I am concerned about miller's workload and dwill's age. Is selling high on miller or dwill and buying low on AJGreen and CJA smart or better off rolling with what i have. And assuming you would sell high, who would you prefer parting with - Miller or DWill?

Also, hate carrying 2 qbs and 2 tes. Feel i have to carry reed/barnidge and play matchups given reed inj history and barnidge upcoming bye and potential we see more manziel. Would you agree?

And what would you do with rivers/carr? Really like carr, esp if i get opening round bye in week 14 and don't have to play him against broncos. i also prefer not to drop rivers and allow competitor to pickup although feel he tails off second half given inj to keenan, floyd and gates. not much on ww and would probably pick up a cmike/rsmith type or handcuff one of my current backs.

Thanks for all your help!

 

[Gandalf]

Need a win this week. 3-6 so gotta win out.

I have to pick 3 WRs and my FLEX. Out of the following...

Antonio Brown

Randall Cobbs

Calvin Johnson

Brandin Cooks

Stefon Diggs

Tyler Eifert

I'm going up against Andy Dalton so not sure if it's best to throw Eifert into my FLEX spot (my TE is Gronk) or if better to pick Cooks/Diggs. Your help is appreciated greatly!

 

[steelbydesign]

Touchdown league.

Pick 1

Stafford @GB,

Palmer @SEA,

Cutler @STL

Pick 1

Doug Martin vs DAL

TJ Yeldon @BAL

Pick 2

Martavis Bryant vs CLE

Dez Bryant @TB

Mike Evans vs Dal

 

[Deucalian]

Hey Sig,

Have a hobbled Peyton vs KC in a good matchup or I can pick up Cousins. I was planning on starting Peyton as he's looked better since the bye, but now this injury has me second guessing myself. I need a win to stay in the playoff hunt and would also have to drop Peyton to get Cousins. (I have no problem with that though).

Thanks!

 

[scam08]

Whats up Sig

12 Team Non PPR League Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, K, Def (option to go 1 RB and 3 WR instead)

We get to keep 2 Players for following year. 16 man Roster plus one spot reserved for an injured player (must be listed as OUT)

My Roster

Wilson, Taylor

Le'veon, DeAngelo, D Lewis, Gore, Ch West, Ellington, David Johnston, Woodhead

Demarius, Edelman, J Landry, Stevie

Kelce

Forbath, Jets

Rosters Frozen in week 13

Question - I'm already using my injured spot to hold Bell so I can keep him next year. Not sure if I should eat up a roster spot on Dion for the rest of the year to potentially keep him. What you think of Dion's prospects next year - good chance back to RB1 status? Worth the stash? Demarius instead? (Worried about Peyton retiring?) Im currently 8-1 and 5th in scoring

Thanks

Ron

 

[steelbydesign]

Dynasty PPR.

I'm contending and a little worried about Big Ben. Would you trade Kelce or Graham for Phillip Rivers?

QB: Ben, J.Winston

RB: Gurley, L.Miller, M.Forte, A.Ellington

WR: Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Kamar Aiken

TE: Travis Kelce, Jimmy Graham

 

[Mofongo]

heyoo

 

[lsufan]

8 team ppr league:

S Diggs or M Evans WR3? Could start both using one in flex over the RBs listed below?

Pick my Flex: McFadden, Blount, Forsett?

 

[donnronn]

Thanks for doing this Sig.

Any changes you'd make to the starters below (PPR)?

WR (start 2): Dez, Diggs

RB (start 1): McFadden

RB/WR Flex (start 2): Forsett, Lamar Miller

Bench options: Cooks, Chark West

I'm struggling over whether or not I start Cooks over Diggs or Miller.

Thanks!

DR

 

[flexyplay]

You da man Bloom. Trying to find that elusive Sleeping Monkey.

This week--12 tm PPR-- if Marshawn happens to sit do you start Rawls or Ryan Mathews?

And I love the ROS tiers, thank you. Most of these below are pretty close I know. Maybe give top 2 or 3?

ROS-- same league, best stash-- DJohnson, Rawls, Ajayi, Riddick, Joique, Ridley or Taiwan Jones?

Thanks so much and good luck this week.

 

[CaptainJT]

Hey Bloom - Please help me! 0.5 PPR I need 1 WR, 2 RB and a Flex (from this group).

WR - Stefon Diggs / Jeremy Maclin / Emmanual Sanders

RB - Char West / James Starks / CJ Anderson / Chris Johnson

Also - related, if Sanders plays will you be confident in him? Thanks!

 

[starks]

Help with my flex? Standard League....

Chark West @ Den

CJ Anderson v KC

Martavis Bryant v Cle

Kamar Aiken v Jax

Thanks Sig!

 

[lowbar]

I own Ingram and Forsett as my starting RB's in a non-PPR league. Only have roster space to retain one of their cuffs -- would you drop CJ Spiller for Buck Allen?

I could also drop Jay Ajayi and roster both Spiller & Allen -- but have been holding Ajayi for potential high keeper value and low cost (2016 13th rd pick) next year. Would you recommend this?

Thanks Sig!!

 

[DemonDeacons]

Sig,

Need to drop someone to pick up a QB (rivers on bye). Non-ppr. 12 teams. 9 starters. 5 bench spots. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2WR, one flex, one TE. Who should I drop? Much thanks! My team:

Rivers

Gore

Karlos Williams

CJ Anderson

Abdullah

Sims

Ellington

Jay Ajayi

Allen Robinson

Crabtree

John Brown

Gronkowski

 

[PatrickT]

Hard to bench Alshon but I don't like the injury status or the matchup. Would you start any of these guys over him, and which would you start if he was out?

Michael Floyd

Fitz

Martavis

Rishard

ETA: PPR

Thanks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

In first place, so made playoffs but my team is very shaky, to say the least, at RB after losing Lewis/Charles. What would you do?

PPR

Derek Carr

Chris Ivory

Karlos Williams

Jay Ajayi

Javorius Allen

Thomas Rawl

AA

Antonio Brown

DeAndre Hopkins

John Brown

Michael Floyd

Brandon LaFell

Donte Moncrief

Sammy Watkins

Kamar Aiken

Greg Olsen

Rams

Hauschka

Trade Questions (other team has Woodhead, Forsett, Deangelo, AND AP):

1) Hopkins or AB for Woodhead/Forsett

2) Hopkins or AB for AP

3) Hopkins or AB Deangelo

4) Dont trade Hopkins Ab at all

Thank you

hold hopkins and brown. try to trade from your lower WRs to get woodhead or forsett

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, need a quick answer because of the Thursday night game!

0.5 PPR Flex this week: LeSean McCoy, Davante Adams, John Brown, or Marvin Jones? Already starting Ivory and Blount at RB.

Thanks so much!

sorry i missed this - even though i open the thread on thr to give folks more time to submit questions, i dont start answering until fri/sat usually.

have them brown-mccoy-adams-jones

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig thank you for all your help. Have a few qs

1. Ppr league pick 2 rbs

Langford,starks and ryan matthews

Pick 2 wrs

Lafell,cooks,smokie,landry

Thank you sig appreciate your help and fan of all your work

assuming no forte, sit mathews

cooks landry

sorry i missed ya had marshall ahead

ebron, still not sure when ASJ playing

ameer for ajayi

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

If you had to start 2:

Allen Hurns

Martavis Bryant

James Starks

Matt Jones

And what do you think of Starks ROS?

Thank you for your thoughts!

starks and hurns (if active), bryant if no hurns

starks RB2 value for now, whether he goes back to flex is up to lacy

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks as always Sig; nice comparing your takes w/ mine...

.5 PPR; I need some upside this week; need 1 WR & 1 FLEX out of the following:

Chris Givens vs. Jags

John Brown @ Seahawks (sounds like he's a GTD...makes decision for me, unless Givens is just too hopeless)

---

Jonathan Stewart @ Titans

Matt Jones vs. Saints

Duke Johnson @ Steelers (Manziel starting, so probably best on my bench)

gut feeling is brown will play, but i understand not risking it

stew

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR Dynasty - Start 2RB 2WR 1Flex

QB: Big Ben, Jameis Winston

RB: Todd Gurley, Lamar Miller, Dion Lewis, James Starks

WR: Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, Willie Snead

TE: Jimmy Graham, Travis Kelce

I'm contending but kinda worried about my RB situation w/ Lewis going down. Forte owner is open to offers for him. I'm thinking of throwing out a 2nd rounder (should be late). If he balks at that, would you throw in anymore?

Or, do you think I'm ok with Miller & Starks?

i would draw the line at the 2nd

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

LaFell @ Giants or DeSean Jackson vs NO? Both have great matchups and I know I'm going to start the wrong one.

Or, is it worth playing both over Chris Johnson @ Seattle. Tough matchup, but hard to bench a volume back for a guy who you're just hoping will catch a long TD.

both wrs in PPR

lafell and cj in non

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need a good play at WR this week in non-ppr. Options are John Brown, James Jones, Ginn, Chris Givens, and Shorts

If ASJ is out once again..would you start this week out of Ertz, Gillmore, Rudolph, or Richard Rodgers?

brown with shorts as a hedge

ertz

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom I'm a Luck owner in a 12 team 6pt TD league. I picked up Tannehill last week. Eli was dropped and I hope my 7th waiver can land him. Who do I drop for Eli? Tannehill, G. Tate (WR5 on my team) or Delanie Walker (I have Kelcie too)?

tate

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Would you drop Rashad Jennings for Jordan Todman? 14-team standard league. My other RBs are not the strength of my team, but it seems like Jennings has become impossible to trust so I can't imagine using him. Thanks!

if jennings is last RB on your bench and you have 3-4 solid ones ahead of him yes

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Should I trade Fitzgerald for some more RB depth? I lost Lewis, but still have Gurley and Lynch. I am worried about another RB injury, specifically Lynch, since I don't have Rawls.

RBs that are likely available in my league would be Gore, Blount, Hill, Woodhead, Lacy, and Bernard. I have been offered Gore and Stevie Johnson for Fitzgerald. I think a solid RB2 a reasonable return for Larry, but can't seem to get a deal done. So should I just sit tight and force the issue only if one of my RBs gets hurt?

QB: Newton, Luck

RB: Gurley, Lynch, Tre Mason, Jay Ajayi, Michael

WR: Robinson, D. Bryant, M. Bryant, Fitzgerald

TE: Reed, Kelce

Thanks!

your RBs are fine. can you get rawls? i dont mind the gore deal if its only start 2 WR

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

THURSDAY NIGHT IMPLICATIONS:

Hi Sig,

Standard scoring non-ppr league. I start 2RB, 2WR and 2Flex. My team is great, but actually have too many starter to choose from (yes, I'm working on trade proposals).

RB's

Langford vs Rams - Played great in 1st start but gets a touch D

West vs Broncos - Is the workhorse, but against one of the best D's in the league

Ingram - He is in my lineup

Yeldon vs Ravens - Increased workload over the last 3-games; get GL now

WR's

Marshall vs Bills - a top 10 receiver; hard to leave out of the lineup

Robinson vs Ravens - see Marshall's comment

Thomas vs Chiefs - A down year, but still in top 20

Cooper vs Vikings - This rookie is the real deal

As I mentioned, I need 6 of these players with a minimum of 2 at each position.

ingram

yeldon

langford (assuming no forte)

robinson

thomas

cooper

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Are David Cobb and Duke Johnson worth holding onto for the FF playoff stretch in redraft? or should high upside backups like Asiata, Buck Allen, Todman, etc. be rostered over them?

allen over cobb. hold duke

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

12 team std. Own Palmer/Big Ben. Don't like Palmer's matchup (@SEA) so grabbed Cousins (vs NO). But now I have 3 QBs!! I'd rather stash an upside RB (Rawls/Coleman/Etc.). Do I.......

a) drop BB and start Cousins....schedule after bye is ugly (though Palmer's schedule gets tougher as well).

b) drop Cousins and start Palmer?

c) drop Cousins and start BB (if active)?

d) None of the above

Thanks!

B

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

How much of a downgrade is Luck's injury to Moncrief's value in non-ppr format? Does the ROS tiers reflect Luck being out 4 weeks?

Would you maybe drop Moncrief to grab either Kamar Aiken or Devin Funchess? I lost K Allen for the season and V. Jackson is hurt. Stevie Johnson is on bye this week. I am rolling with John Brown and Davante Adams -- not a power house unit. Thank you

yeah id go aiken over moncrief if you need short term depth. maybe in any case

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig

Due to injuries and byes I have to start one of these. Standard scoring

Mathews vs MIA

K Williams vs NYJ

Duke Johnson vs PIT

I love the matchup for Mathews but thinking KWill due to opportunity

Thanks in advance for what you do!

mathews

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

On the Sunday Morning Hangout when noting the injury to CHI RB Matt Forte you and Matt Waldman both said that you had picked up CHI RB Ka'Deem Carey in a sneaky forward looking move but after Monday Night where rookie RB Jeremy Langford had a much better game than expected have you and Waldman changed your tune on CHI RB Jeremy Langford over Ka'Deem Carey?

Also what do you think of Langford going forward in dynasty?

Thanks!

langford decisively put himself ahead of carey for the short term bc of his speed outside (as inner runners i think they were similar), but i still see langford as not a long-term answer in dynasty

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

.5 ppr, Matt Jones, Alfred Blue, or Brandon Bolden?

jones

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Looking ahead to playoff schedules, how do you feel about Roethlisberger week 15 playing Denver assuming he's reasonably healthy? Luck had an okay game against them but they shut Rodgers down Should I be making plans to find another QB for that week? Benches are deep and waivers are thin so some advanced planning would be necessary.

Edit:

I have a quick second question. I'm a slight underdog with a bunch of my starters on bye. At flex do I go Ronnie Hillman or Owen Daniels? I have C.J. Anderson already in my lineup too.

i would be ok with ben

hillman

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey sig,

Am I getting too cute if I am thinking about starting Hurns/Starks over Lynch or Lamar?

Thanks

i have starks over lamar

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Non ppr, Dynasty, out of Martavis Bryant and Allen Hurns. Who would you rather have on your roster and why?

Tex

bryant, ceiling

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I'm feeling like I need upside at QB this week..

4 point for TD pass..

Would you start Tyrod Taylor or pick up either Cassel or Landry Jones?

Leaning toward Cassell.. what do you think?

TIA

cassel

 

[DarkKnightsGuru]

Hi league scoring system is 1 point ppr 1 point for every ten yards total and 10 points for td.. Bonus for te going over 50 yards is 5 points and bonus for rb going over 100 is 5 points. Trade would be trading Barnige for Blount.. I have Ivory n Martin at back but we start a flex too.. I have Olsen at te as well.. Do I trade Barnige for Blount.. Need rb depth

 

[edwardpig]

Standard scoring, I need 2RB, 2WR and a Flex (RB/WR)

RB: Miller, Martin, Rawls, Cobb, Ajayi, Sims

WR: Dez, Cobb, Hurns, DeSean, John Brown, Marvin Jones

If Lynch doesn't play tomorrow, who do I start?

Thanks.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom,

John Brown, Hurns, or Tavon Austin? Standard league.

Thanks

i have brown highest if you can stomach the GTD, if not hurns (assuming active)

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Morning Bloom!

Carlos Hyde was dropped in my .5 PPR league. Is he worth an add? If so, who would you drop:

QB: Brady, Carr

RB: Gore, DMC, Duke Johnson, D. Cobb

WR: Hopkins, Calvin, Allen Robinson, Stevie Johnson, VJax

TE: Ben Watson

Also, Delaney Walker is available, do you like him better than Watson for the ROS?

thanks in advance

hyde>cobb

walker>watson
