0.5 PPR

Need one RB.

* M. Ingram @CAR -- Horrible matchup, splitting carries, Payton shenanigans on the goal line. Don't want a near goose egg.

or

* K. Dixon @DAL -- Horrible matchup as well, but Dallas tends to give up receptions to RBs. If Dixon can steal a few carries from West, he could equal Ingram's touches.

Who?

Thanks

sorry i missed ya had ingram

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Thanks for all your help.  

Two questions for this week and a longer term RB question for my ten team standard league.

Should I roll with Kaepernick, Bortles, or Dak?

I need a WR3 and options are JJ Nelson, Michael Floyd, Royal, Meredith, Devante Parker, Desean Jackson, lockett, Kendall Writght or Jeremy Kerley?

In terms of rostering RBs for the playoffs, right now I have West, Henry, Sproles, Prosise, Rawls, Hightower, and Rob Kelley.  Would you swap any of them out for Damien Williams or Kenneth Dixon?

Thanks! 

dak

lockett

dixon over west, williams over sproles

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

TE question this week:

PPR - Graham or Bennett - assuming Gronk cannot go

TIA

bennett

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom, thanks again for taking the time. 

Winston or Cap this week?

Start 2, standard - T. West, K. Dixon, Ty Mont, D. Lewis, R. Woods, T. Hill, Rishard Williams, C. Meredith

Start 2, ppr - Ginn, T. Hill, C. Coleman, W. Fuller, JJ Nelson, Beasley

kaep

woods and rishard matthews (dixon if that's a mix up)

sorry i missed ya had ginn and beasley. hill would be next

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom

PPR and the Thurs night is throwing me for a loop 

need 2 rbs, 3 WRs and 1 flex from this group.  I see that you're low on both Ingram and Miller in your rankings.

2 Rbs

Miller Ingram R.Kelly Priossie Gio

3 Wrs

Jordy MikeThomas Snead DAdams

and then one Flex from any of he guys not used above. 

Thanks for all you do!!!

sorry i missed ya had prosise kelley

jordy snead thomas adams

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Ingram in flex.  I have Rawls and Dixon with a  5-5 record in 12 team standard scoring redraft.  I need high floor.

thats the way i would have gone too

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

In a 0.5 PPR League, Rishard Matthews, Michael Floyd or Corey Coleman?

Thanks!

matthews

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig...

I'm 7-3 and in second place, and feel pretty good about being locked into a playoff spot, if not a first round bye. I've been pretty fortunate with my RB situation, playing the wire well so far. This is a .5 PPR - 10 team - 2FLEX league, and this is my backfield:

LeSean McCoy, Spencer Ware, Devontae Booker, C.J. Prosise, Rob Kelley, Isaiah Crowell, Derrick Henry, Mike Gillislee

Charcandrick West was just dropped and will clear waivers Sunday morning. How necessary do you think it is for me to cuff Ware? And if it is necessary, who is the drop? Do I throw away a lottery ticket like Henry? Or do I look at guys like Kelley/Crowell (limited ceiling, nice depth but barring injuries probably not cracking my playoff lineup) as more expendable?

i wouldn't bother with west over what you have. dud when he got to start

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Afternoon Sig - 

Scenerio: 12-team, non PPR, 3yr Keeper league

Rostered:

• QB: Luck
  
  
• RB: David Johnson, L. BellD. Booker, Crowell, Rawls, Prosise, Damien Williams
  
  
• WR: Jordy, D. Hopkins, Diggs, Tyrell Williams, C. Coleman, D. Parker
  
  
• TE: Kelce
  
  

Dilemma (1): Would you drop: Anyone for Gates (was dropped to make room for the bye)?

As always, thank you for the help & insight 

gates over coleman

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

10 team PPR. Start 1-QB, 2-RB, 2-WR, 1-TE, 1-RB/WR/TE, 1-K, 1-DEF

 

Roster (15 limit)

 

QB: Brees

RB: Zeke Elliott, F. Gore, C. Prosise, D. Lewis, Alfred Morris

WR: A. Brown, A. Cooper, T. Williams (SD), C. Meredith, T. Montgomery

TE: M. Bennett, T. Eifert

K: Crosby

Def: Seattle

 

Playoffs are week 14 and 15. I am a lock for a playoff spot and trying to set up my roster ahead of time.

Questions: 

1. A. Jeffery and K. Dixon are available on waiver wire. Do they upgrade my team? Who to drop?
   
2. Week 14 Seattle plays Green Bay. Do I stick with them or pick up either Atlanta (vs LA) or Cincinnati (at Cleveland) and bench Seattle? Seattle has great week 15 matchup against LA.
   

 

Thanks Sig!

Btw, love your podcasts!

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Late season dilemmas... PPR, Short bench, RB/WR/TE Flex. Trade deadline has passed.

Team is in first with a 2 game cushion with 3 to go. Declared starters in bold.

Carr, Zeke, Ware, Howard, Hyde, OBJ, ARob, Diggs, Adams, Gates, Zach Miller, and LaDarius, Streaming Kicker, KC DST

Question 1: Who to flex? 

Question 2: I picked up LaDarius just in case he explodes, ROS. I picked up Miller to use this week as it's just LaDarius' second game, though he does have the Browns. Considering dropping one of those TE and picking up either Eli for this week or the NE DST for the playoffs. Do I hold tight, or drop one? If dropping one, Miller or Green?

TIA

[Sigmund Bloom]

Your time is near, the mission's clear...

RB: Elliott, Gore, Miller, Kelley, Lewis

WR: Evans, Moncrief, Marvin, Smitty, Thomas (but can't drop Thomas) 

TE: Bennett, Gates

Std league, start 2RB 2WR 1 FLEX, I need to drop someone to pick up a kicker, who would you drop? Smitty? Lewis? Marvin? (EDIT: heard you and Waldman talk about the Easter bunny, I'm guessing you wouldn't drop him)

PPR: hold Harris or drop to pickup Morris?

PPR: hold John Brown or drop to pickup Kerley, Quincy or LGreen? (Have Graham but no backup)

Standard: hold Marvin or drop for Tyfreek?

thanks in advance have a helluva weekend!

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig

Standard scoring:

1. Ebron or Rudolph ROS?
   
2. Matt Bryant or Vinatieri ROS?
   
3. Getting closer to finals time and I am 7-3. Should I consider my end game and cut someone to sign Bell handcuff? If so who should I cut and who is the fantasy finals cuff (Deangelo or Toussant)? Happy to just sit tight if you think as well.
   

• RBs = Zeek, Bell, Blount, Booker, C Michael,  A Morris 
  
• WRs = Mike Evans, TY Hilton, Marvin Jones, Michael Thomas. 
  
• QBs = Brees and Stafford
  

Thanks
Mooks

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks again for doing this every week. Need help in a couple leagues. Both are PPR.

With Ryan on bye, do I roll with Goff or pick up Kaep or Fitz?

Hurns or Lockett @ WR?

In another league, I need to pick 1 of the following to start at RB: Kelley, Rawls or Prosise.

kaep

lockett

prosise

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Do you think Gronk being out lifts Hogan at all?  I'm wary of Beasley continued declined with Dez back and Britt in Goff's first start.  PPR

hogan out too. go beasley

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

You seem to be bucking the trend with your projection of Brate over Fiedorowicz in a good matchup vs OAK this week.  Can you provide your reasoning there, please?

don't like trusting osweiler. 3 TEs getting targets in HOU too

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

0.5 PPR.

Question is, should I bench T. Pryor for any of the following options. Weather in Cleveland is currently forecasted for lake effect snow and 25 MPH winds. Fear it could be a sloppy/Crowell type of day. 

Other options:

* K. Dixon @DAL -- Coming out party and a few catches in catchup mode?

* D. Lewis @SF -- Not even sure if he'll be active. He made the trip.

* E. Royal @NYG -- Cutler in catchup with a guy he's familiar with vs Meredith.

* P. Garcon vs GB -- If D. Jackson out.

* M. Lee @DET -- Great matchup if Slay is on Robinson.

* K. Wright @INDY -- Another good matchup. As an aside, I'm starting Mariota.

Stand pat with Pryor? Or roll the dice with one of the above?

Thanks.

give dixon a shot

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Defense question.

* Stand pat with Seattle D vs PHI? 

Or roll with one of these streamer candidates:

* PIT @CLE -- Good matchup plus weather (although CLE could run well here).

* DET vs JAX -- Good matchup, getting Slay and others back.

* DAL vs BAL -- Flacco doesn't scare me much.

Thanks

SEA

 

[jvdesigns2002]

Hey Sig--super quick hitters. Full PPR.

Diggs or Rishard Matthews.  Need 1 

for my flex full ppr

randall Cobb or j. Howard.   Need 1

Thanks

 

[ffldrew]

PPR

Sterling Shepard or the completely disheartening DeAndre Hopkins

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR league.  

Pick two:

* S. Smith @DAL -- Dallas has trouble with slot WRs.

* R. Woods @CIN -- Cinci D not stopping anyone; Woods coming off impressive performance @SEA.

* M. Jones vs JAX -- Due for a big game, but could see a lot of Slay.

* C. Meredith @NYG -- Could see increase in targets, but bad matchup.

* M. Floyd @MN -- Not a great matchup, but is coming on.

Which two?

Thanks.

smiff woods

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard scoring flex spot.

Start Diggs or Kenneth Dixon?

Pick 2 or these wr's - Pryor, Marvin Jones, Davante Adams

Thanks and good luck this weekend

dixon

jones adams

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

With league trade deadlines coming up fast, will you be doing an update to ROS Tiers in next couple of days?

sorry didn't have time this week

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom, IDP question: Should I start Eric Kendricks (logged a full practice on Friday, expected to play, but will his sore hip limit him? Fantastic matchup) vs. Arizona or Elandon Roberts (starting role seems secure, but snap count could fluctuate for no other reason than that it's the unpredictable Patriots; still, has an unmistakable nose for the ball and could compile tackles with Hightower likely to be rested early in an inevitable blowout) vs. San Francisco this week? Thank you!

roberts

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I've gotta start 2 of these guys in a PPR Dynasty league, but one has to be a RB, but the other can be a RB or WR.  I need points!

Starks, Rawls, Sproles, The Freak Hill, Eli Rogers, Marquise Lee

Thanks for your help!

Fwiw, I'm leaning Starks and Hill right now.

starks hill

 

[MIMN]

ROS: Drop John Brown for Gates (as a WR)?  Both have some great matchups coming.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom,

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I need to start a desperation WR this week.

Which WR should I start? (0.5PPR, and looking for the best floor)

• Adam Thielen
  
• Quinton Patton
  
• Marqise Lee
  
• Kendall Wright
  
• Michael Floyd
  
• Tajae Sharpe
  
• Breshad Perriman
  
• Chris Conley
  

I feel like I could be talked into any of these guys!

thielen

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig, standard with 5 for 100 yards bonus: Gurley, Lamar Miller, Fitzgerald or Prosise? Pick one. I'm leaning Fitz although concerned about the leg issues and Minn D. However, I can not trust Gurley or Miller. I'm amazed that week after week Gurley is seen as top 15 when he's been horrendous (wether it's his fault, the team--doesn't matter). My gut says Prosise might be a nice play even in standard this week.

Also, in another league (standard and 5 for 100 yard bonus) are you at all worried about the Rams stopping Ajayi? I could roll Hopkins out there but that would violate the adage "Don't bet on a loser all,of a sudden changing his luck." 

Thanks again my man and I hope your Dad's 80th party was awesome! May he have many more!

gurley is top 15 mainly on opportunity. i lean fitz too

in std i go w ajayi

thanks for the well wishes!

 

[theToes]

Bloom.

ion a ppr league who would be the handcuff to latavious murray?

Wachington or Richard?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Mariota @ IND or Roethlisberger @ CLE.

Kind of a luxury problem..

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Mr. Bloom, thanks for reading my question:

Playing in a 14-team Double Flex league (WR/TE and WR/RB/TE). I'm desperate for help as I'm looking at Cobi Hamilton facing the Browns in my W/R/T Flex (played 92% of the snaps last game, more than Eli Rogers) before thinking "I should triple check this...".

My Current Positions:

TE: LaDarius Green @ Cleveland

W/T: Corey Coleman vs. Pittsburgh

W/R/T: Cobi Hamilton @ Cleveland

My Bench: (1 spot open)

John Brown @ Minnesota - Rotational player vs. a team that shuts down WRs.

Kyle Rudolph vs. Arizona - I don't like Rudolph vs. a team that shuts downs TEs,

Ty Montgomery @ Washington - Was on a snap count last week and his role seems to be diminishing,

Alshon Jeffery (grabbed him on waivers for playoffs)

FA Options are guys like dart throws like Tajae Sharpe/Kendall Wright vs. Indy and Marquise Lee @ Detroit.

Would you replace Cobi Hamilton with anyone? I'm a 4-6 team trying to sneak into the Playoffs.

EDIT:

Yeah if this holds out definitely sitting Hamilton.

Non-PPR. Need one from the following as a Flex:

Kelce burned me last 2 weeks

Matthews seems good for at least 7 pts/game but has a back injury

Landry's been...meh, and is on the injury report

(I have Dixon too by the way, but I don't know we've seen enough to feel good about him)
