Week 11 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[kyoun1e]

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.

 

[grantsa4]

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

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Flex 2 in PPR - Crowell, Eli Rogers, Marvin Jones

crow jones

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

0.5 ppr, flex one: Marvin Jones, NUK Hopkins, Dwayne Washington

PS You rock Bloom!  I've been a daily podcast listener (and footballguys subscriber) for years.

thanks!

I've got major tight end problems in my primary league.  Right now I'm streaming Fleener, Julius Thomas, or CJ Fed.  Tye is available, along with McDonald.  Any advice on who to stream this week?  I'm in a 3 way tie for the final 2 spots in playoffs and need to win out even though I have the current tie breaker in total points scored.

10 team with 5 point 10 catch bonus and 1 point 100 yard bonus.

i had fleener 1 thomas 2 mcdonald 3 cj 4

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What are your thoughts on where the Chicago passing game is going to go with Jefferey gone for 4 weeks.  Royal, Wilson, miller, Meredith?  

overall not excited about their passing game, but give miller the biggest bump

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Trade question: Trade away Terrance West for Akeem Hunt?  Own Lamar Miller and am concerned about not having his handcuff as I look ahead to the playoffs.  Could also do West for Blue straight up.  0.5 ppr, 18 team league

EDIT: I ended up trading West for NUK and Blue.  Hope that was the right move!

wow nice

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig!

In a standard league, do I

1) go with Brees over Rodgers?

2) Starks over Gio?

3) Wr/flex- I have Hopkins, Cooks and Kelvin at WR. At TE, I have Walker and Bennett. If Gronk sits, do I start Bennett as my flex and bench Hopkins. Cooks and Benji have nice matches. 

Thx again!

i had rodgers ahead

starks

bennett over hopkins

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks as always.

We can keep one player for next year if that player was drafted after the 6th round or we picked up as FA on waiver wire...and lose a 6th round pick.

10 team, ppr.

Can you list a few RB/WR who might be still on wire who could start next year and be worth losing a 6th round pick for.

lewis and rawls come to mind right away. maybe jamaal charles or adrian peterson or sammy watkins?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey now Sig..

Appreciated the reminder that Rocky ended the Cold War.. I had forgotten it was over.

TD-only scoring:

--2 WR from Hilton, Pryor, Fitzgerald, Moncrief, Smiff.

-- Kelley, Mathews, or Henry at RB2

-- Ebron or Miller

Thanks again.

hilton and fitz

kelley

ebron

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Having a hard time figuring out WRs this week.

Pick 3 (PPR): Evans, Beckham, Diggs, Cooks

Also, LA v Mia or MIN v ARI?

Many thanks!

i had diggs lowest i would play MIN

 

[DrCoats]

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

 

[CataclysmicThunder]

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!

 

[forbidden doughnut]

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.

 

[Rnock]

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!

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

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!

 

[BlackMagic10]

Mariota @ IND or Roethlisberger @ CLE.

Kind of a luxury problem..

 

[The Frankman]

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:

PIT @ CLE – First mention of SNOW! NWS calling for snow showers, with total accumulation for the day less than 1/2 of an inch. I think the bigger concern here is the wind, sustained winds around 25mph with gusts up to 40. If this forecast holds, that’s a “no way” to kickers, and a “don’t like it” for QB’s and WR’s. Short passing options, RB’s, and DEF would theoretically get a boost.

Yeah if this holds out definitely sitting Hamilton.

 

[fffan21]

ROS Hooper or Doyle?

 

[bizeast]

Bloom!

Pick 2 FLEX in .5 PPR

Duke Jr. (already starting Crow)

Christine Michael

[Sigmund Bloom]

Questions for the championship run...

QB - If you own Andrew Luck, would you roll with him into playoffs OR stash Tyrod Taylor for the better playoff schedule?

DST - If you own KC DST, would you roll with them ROS, OR stash others to play matchups?

Example: Stashing Falcons DST (saw you wrote about them in Rent-A-Defense) for week 14 @ Rams when KC hosts the Raiders.

TE - If you own Kelce, would you roll with him into playoffs or add L Green or CJ Fiedorowitz to replace Kelce or play matchups?

Thanks very much for the help

fine w luck

i like the KC D rest of the way

green might be more valuable than kelce by seasons end yes

 

[BigBlue_RI]

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)

 

[isaacleicht]
