What do you think about B. Powell with the latest Forte news? Star Powell iver Dem. Thomas? Non PPR. Thanks!
Thanks again Sig. Love that you do this each week.
The Alfred Morris owner dropped him during this weeks waiver wire run. I grabbed Rod Smith 2 weeks ago. Morris comes off waivers tomorrow. I have a #3 claim in on him essentially swapping Smith for Morris. Who would you rather have? League is .5 PPR and my RBs are less than stellar.
McKinnon, Powell, James White, Dion Lewis, Derick Henry,and Rod Smith.
Swap Smith for Morris, Swap someone else for Morris, or stand pat?
Thanks again.

Doug Martin or Demarco Murray?

Hi Sig,
Thanks for this. Two questions for you:
1. In PPR, would you start both Kelvin and Corey Davis over a gimpy Dez (if he plays)?
2. For a speculative upside add in PPR, who would you pick up from Martavis, Dion Lewis, or Doctson? I don’t need any to perform now, but looking for late season blow up potential.
thanks again!

Sir Sigmund,
PPR, I heard you guys say Martin was droppable but I’m not sure I’m ready to do that. Maybe more run heavy without Winston? I realize that with bad game scripts and very little receiving action, Martin could easily be a bust.
RBs - Gordon, Hyde, Lynch, Woodhead, Cohen, Martin
WRs - Dez, Thielen, Parker, Funchess, Corey Davis
Would you drop Cohen or Martin for Booker, Dion Lewis, Corey Coleman, Westbrook or Josh Gordon?
TIA

Thanks for your time as always.
1. Mostly concerned who will perform better in fantasy playoffs .... I already have Evans and A Brown... so Cooks is my flex play each week. Would you trade cooks for tyreke hill? , t hill owner has Brady and loves stacking QB/wr combinations so that's why I think I might be able to get that deal done.
2. As a kirk cousins owner, I have concerns about his long term viability behind his bad o line. should I pick up Carr from waivers? Seems to have a decent playoff schedule. Would need to drop Josh Gordon, McFadden, bears d, or Panthers d to do it.
3. 0.5 ppr, pick two this week, Martin, Parker, Freeman

Heya, Bloom -- always love your ranking as a double-check and the background you give for your rationale.
Curious to get more of that background and your insight on a decision I'm trying to make in my 0.7 point PPR league where I'm scrambling to cover byes and injuries for this one week.
Read your rankings so know that you like Beasley better than some other wire options like Humphries, Williams, Aldrick Robinson, Curtis Samuel, Marquise Goodwin, and Terrance Williams (and others of their ilk/relative tier).
Question is, why? Is is simply his TD potential? I tend to agree that Beasley has great upside, but may have a riskier floor than his teammate Williams who may get more targets/receptions. Looking at a guy like Humphries is interesting with Evans out, and while Fitz was good in relief, this entire offense is a little in disarray, so can Humphries be trusted?
Goodwin is pretty much the only ball catcher left, and the 9ers have a great matchup, but can we trust Beathard to deliver as opposed to checking down a lot to the backs or looking for his TE where the Giants are very susceptible?
Samuel also has a nice matchup against a weak Dolphin secondary, but will need to rely on an up-and-down Cam who seems to look for Funchess and his own running lanes first.
What do you think is the safest floor option, and the most reliable upside option out of this general WR tier this week?
TIA.

HI Sig,
I have a more strategic question in a ppr, 2QB, 10 team dynasty league with 21 roster spots + 2 IR spots.
Below is my roster.
My question is your thoughts on whether I should upgrade my RB by obtaining Christian McCaffrey, or hold, and make a QB trade in the offseason to get a high enough spot to get someone like Nick Chubb?
I'm #2 in the standings and should finish there or #3 into the playoffs, but there is at least 1 team that has an avg total pts advantage of about 5 pts per week.
I appreciate any feedback you can give me...thx!!!
Trade Option 1: Luck for McCaffrey
Trade Option 2: Cam Newton for Big Ben + McCaffrey
in both trade options, the other trade party has the following QBs: Cutler, Big Ben and Flacco...they're hurting.
Roster: (format is 2/2/2/1/2/1/1)
QB: Goff, Newton, Luck, Keenum, Bridgewater, Chad Kelly, Mahomes
RB: Gurley, McKinnon, Lynch, dion lewis, rod smith
WR: Evans, Beckham, Jordy, Hopkins, Watkins, Marvin Jones, Dede Westbrook
TE: Kelce and Rudolph
PK: Gostkowski
DEF/ ST: stream

id rather have smith than morris, but morris has first crack at the job. maybe white drop for morris because .5 PP de-emphasizes his value
maybe, but i would imagine if he gets hurt they sign a back. lance dunbar is also coming back soon. this one lacks clarity

Whats up Bloom, thanks for taking the time as always.
Standard scoring need 1 WR & 1 Flex out of this group:
Rod Smith @ ATL
Corey Davis v CIN
Dion Lewis @ DEN
K. Benjamin v NO
J. Crowder v MIN
E. Mcguire @ TB
(If Dez sits would you play T.Williams or Beasley over any of the above?)
Much appreciated

beasley seems like an obvious replacement for zeke runs in red zone, high percentage option, already has 2 2 TD games this year. Dak is also playing lights out, so i like relying on him whether its williams or beasley. i have williams a little higher, both are a little bit boom/bust, but hot coming in. lean TW, but would feel better about it if dez was inactive.
