Hi Sig.

Appreciate if you can help fill in the roster spots:

RB1:

WR1:

WR2:

RB/WR:

Players

RBs: L. McCoy, D. Martin, C. Ivory

WRs: Calvin Johnson, M. Evans, E. Sanders

This week I'll have a preference for safe, high floor plays than boom/bust.

Thanks

 

[az1538]

Gronk fill-in STD league. Chandler or Julius?

Bears or Pats D?

STD Pick 2: Amendola, Cooper,TY, Watkins. Leaning Amendola & Coop

StL sucks but can I really bench Gurley in another tough matchup? I have him, DmC, Ingram, DWill, and Buck. I currently have DWill, Buck & Gurley in my LU (STD league)

Thanks!

 

[neal cassady]

NON PPR league..start 2:

Darren McFadden @ WASH

Latavius Murray vs KC

Buck Allen @ Miami

Thanks

[Bracie Smathers]

Hey Sig,

Curious about your long term dynasty take on SF QB Kapernick?

What do you think it takes for him to be fantasy relevant again, say like getting traded to Philly or landing in a scheme or with a coach that suits his talents. Also what percentage would you give for that happening?

Thanks,

 

[The Captain]

Nonppr

Pick 1: Brady or Cam

Pick 3: AP, Freeman, DWill, Blount

Pick 3: Alshon, Fitz, Maclin, Cooper

Am I nuts for considering Blount over Freeman? This just feels like a Blount game plan game.

Thanks Bloom

 

[Team Smokin']

Sig, in a TD heavy league which 2 of these 4 WR's would you suggest for the rest of the season: Hopkins, Fitzgerald, Jeffery, or Decker? Thank you! Close calls?

[Sigmund Bloom]

Good day Sig!

Superflex playoffs. Standard

Have Blount, Lacy. Need one more

Gio vs CLE

Starks vs DET

My gut tells me gameflow favors Gio.

edited to say I also have Ajayi vs BAL and Powell vs NYG

Also have Julio, Martavis, LaFell.

Need one more between

Ginn vs NO

Boldin vs CHI.

One again, gameflow should favor Boldin.

Do I have it right?

Thank you SIg for your cerebral outlook on things. Have enjoyed reading and listening to your take all year long.

gio boldin

thanks for your kind words. y'all are the best

 

[Mungo Burrows]

I am king of the timeshares and seem to be on the wrong end of most of them.

Full Point PPR

Need recommendation of 1 RB and 1 Flex from

• West (practicing, but how much does Ware play?),
• Yeldon (gets volume, but poor matchup and no GL carries)
• Hill (good matchup but wrong end of timeshare)
• Hillman(good matchup but bad timeshare w/ CJA going off)
• Langford(good matchup but timeshare w/ Forte)
• John Brown (not great matchup, competition for targets)
• Snead (hurt?)
• could also pick up Devante Parker, probably dropping Snead to do it, but I've already got Landry

thanks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

In PPR league and have Murray, Forte, Woodhead, and Rawls (2 RB, 1 Flex). After a couple of bad weeks in a row, is it crazy to think about sitting Murray and Woodhead the rest of the way until they put a decent score? I have lost the last two weeks because of their performance.

On the WR side (2 WR, 1 flex) i have Antonio Brown, Kamar Aiken, Stevie Johnson, Emanual Sanders. Besides Brown, I do not have a clue who to play for my WR2 or flex this week.

Thank you for your advice.

yes forte and rawls this week

aiken and sanders

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks for getting this up early!

0.5ppr,pick 3 please. Calvin,AB,the alien,AROB, John Brown.

Thanks!

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Thanks for your help last week.

Need a qb. Pick up Cutler or Tyrod for ROS?

Also need TE gronk replacement. Options are Watson, Ebron, Tamme, Davis, Fleener, ASJ. PPR.

Thanks!

both are terrific options, lean cutler, but taylor has higher weekly ceiling

tamme

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Half PPR league -

I have Lamar Miller, Buck Allen, and the Chiefs RBs. Pick 1.

Thanks

buck

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Roster in signature...

1) DST question: Currently only rolling with Chiefs for playoffs but with Justin Huston banged up, should I be rostering a 2nd DST? They still have good matchups week 15/16 but I could grab Tennessee off WW this week and then play it by ear with another streamer next week.

2) Somewhat related, my QBs are Carr and Rivers. They switch off between KC and DEN back to back the next two weeks. Should I roll with Carr this week vs KC and then Rivers next week vs KC...or roster a 3rd QB to get me through the week 13/14 gauntlet? Current options on WW are Hasselbeck, Smith, Taylor, Tannehill.

3) If I need to pickup another DST or QB....who on my roster is expendable? I'm thinking Diggs.

Thanks Sig!

not afraid of KC and not attached to their D, diggs most expendable

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thank you Bloom for helping us get to this point. Should I start Chandler over Kelce this week? 12 team standard league.

no

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Part PSA / Part Question --

PSA: After drafting both CJA and Hillman, I have succeeded in starting the wrong one (lower scorer) *every single week* -- except for Week 9, when I started both and they combined for 3.9 points. I'm starting CJA this week. You've all been warned.

Question: Standard Scoring (nonPPR) -- need two WR starters and a flex from this list of WRs plus Ronnie Hillman: M.Bryant, Moncrief, VJax, M.Jones, J.Matthews.

Leaning toward starting Alien & Moncrief at WR and Hillman at flex against woeful SD rush defense. Thoughts?

bryant

i have vjax over moncrief by a hair. its very close, trust your gut and go w monc and yes hillman

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

[4th&inches]

2nd guessed myself last week and didn't proactively add S. Draughn....and missed out on him on waivers.

To top it off, I lost Gore's handcuff in Bradshaw in the process.

So, I really need some RB help for the rest of the year/ FF playoffs. In a .5PPR league, which of these RB's would you add in hopes for RB2 upside:

• Brandon Bolden
• Daniel Herron
• Darren Sproles
• Bilal Powell
• Jonathan Grimes
• Joique Bell
• Stepfan Taylor
• Chris Thompson

thanks in advance

 

[Cincy Sufferer]

Desperate and injury decimated. Half point PPR

Howdy Sig,

PPR, 1.5PPR TE

Need (2) of the following: (1) WR and (1) Flex

T. Austin - Like better with Foles, wary of Arizona D and Rams motivation

M. Jones - Eiffert iffy, but CLE not much of an opponent… sorry Matt

T. Lockett - Graham gone, Kearse got the Redzone vs PIT. MIN D?

N. Washington - Important matchup, but lukewarm feeling here

J. Tamme - Hank likely out, but Freeman and Hester likely return.

O. Daniels - Any port in the storm…

TIA

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Bloom,

Need 2 RBs (non-PPR):-

Gurley

Rawls

McCoy

Buck Allen

C West (if he plays)

I'm leaning Rawls and McCoy. Even though Gurley torched Arizona for 146 yards in their previous meeting this looks like being the same game script as last week to me.

Thanks!

mccoy gurley, but i wont talk you out of benching gurley for rawls

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard scoring

Bortles @ Titans or Ryan @ Bucs?

Need 2 from following for flex:

Woodhead

Mcfadden

Spencer Ware

James Jones

Michael Floyd

Can try to pick up CJA or David Johnson off of waivers, which would you prioritize?

At TE - Jordan Reed v Cowboys or Kelce @ Raiders

Thanks!

I can tank this week and it wouldnt impact our playoff chase as the 6 spots are already decided. If I tank week 13 I likely face team 1, small possiiblity team 3, least likely would be team 4. If I win week 13 i likely face team 2... I have terrible week 14 matchups so trying to see if there is a benefit to trying to steer my opponent for week 14

Thanks!

1, but never tank, the gods hate it

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Cobb or Lafell non ppr

Dalton or Carr

Hill, Woodhead, L. Murray, Diggs, Boldin, Aiken ?

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig.

In TD-scoring, best ROS WR pickup -- S. Johnson, Hank, Aiken, Parker

Same league, this week..

--Wilson, Carr, Eli, or Cutler

--Rudolph, Tamme, Watson, Ebron, Daniels, or a Tampa TE (lost Gronk)

--Best two from Gore, Stewart, Rawls, Langford, C. West

--One from Evans, Cooper, Diggs, or the above WW selections

--Boswell, Santos, or Crosby

Thanks for your help this season, and for making a few of us feel better about having dropped David Johnson.

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR League.

Forte didn't show much last weekend, is he worth a start against the Rams this weekend? Do you think the Bears were just easing him back into action?

My only other viable option is Simms.

Do I go with Forte or Simms as my RB #2???

Thanks in advance.

forte

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR.....

RB: starting Devonta. Have CJ Anderson currently slotted in for the second spot. Other options are J. Hill, Matt Jones, B. Powell, Vereen, S. Ware, or K. Williams. (yes, I'm loaded with run of the mill RBs and can never pick the right one)

Flex: any of the RBs, Snead, or Chandler. Leaning Chandler.

Thanks!!

[Sigmund Bloom]

Don't see much KC in the Rent-a-D article this week. Are they no longer a key playoff hold? Drop 'em and stream from this point forward?

lets see if houston plays and if so how he looks. losing him killed their elite D/ST status in 2013

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

FPC scoring:

Need a TE:(if all are healthy)

H.Miller vs Ind

C.Fleener @ Pitt

Z.Ertz @ NE

Need a QB:

And need 2 of the following:

W.Snead vs Car

T.Austin vs AZ

R.Randle vs NYJ

K.Rudolph vs Sea

O.Daniels @ SD

[Sigmund Bloom]

Arghhh. Have to choose between Aaron Rodgers and Matt Stafford. Matt is on fire and at home, but Aaron is Aaron.

Which s higher floor and which is higher ceiling?

4 pt TDs and 1 point for 25 yards passing.

lean rodgers mostly because of avoiding remorse, but wont talk you out of stafford. rodgers has higher ceiling, stafford higher floor

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Super important... win and in and lose and maybe/most likely out. Fighting injuries with CJ2K. Dropping CJ2K/Matthews/Starks for Chandler to block my competition(Gronk/Brady) and consdiering repicking up Alfred Morris for flyer depth.

SCORING----> QB: 4pt TD, -1pt INT, 1pt/50 yds. RB/WR: 6pt TD, 1pt/25 yds, -2 fumbles.

Pick 1 - QB: Fitzpatrick, Rivers, Osweiler

Pick 2 - RB: Buck Allen, L.Miller, Bernard, Draughn, Abdullah, Starks

Pick 4 - WR/TE: A.Brown, ODB, DJax, S. Watkins, S. Johnson, Amendola, Jordan Reed, R. Matthews

K - Gano

DEF - Carolina

Start QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/TE/FLEX/K/TEAMDefense league..

QB: Brady / Palmer / Bortles

RB: Rawls / Ingram / Woodhead / James Starks / Marshawn Lynch / Daniel Herron

WR: Antonio Brown / Cobb / John Brown / Doug Baldwin

TE: Kelce

K: Catanzaro

D: Seattle Defense / Cincinnati Defense

I am locked into the #1 seed and will have a W14 bye.

Looking at WK15 and hopefully W16..

Would you drop anyone for Hightower or Powell? I have Herron/Baldwin but maybe drop them or my kicker (see how things shake out over the next few weeks) to handcuff Ingram?

nah

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig...

2 weeks left in my regular season and fighting for the playoffs. Need to squeeze every last point from every position.

Non ppr. 1 point per 20 yds. 6 pts td

Need a D between GB or Washington. Thinking Skins
