Week 13 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig,

You're ranking S. Watkins a bit higher than both Dodds and Tremblay this week. In addition, you've selected Watkins over some pretty decent WR plays this week in above posts.

Just wondering if you could explain the logic a bit.

I don't see it. Buffalo is at home, Watkins / Taylor coming off a terrific game, but the Houston D looks like it's playing lights out D again.

Thanks

just a momentum play. KC D was playing lights out going into last week too

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig, please. 20 year dynasty, win and I am in.

.25/PPR, Must start 2 out of:

Gurley: 8 in the box, touches decline past few weeks, and no threat of passing game. Low floor but possible b(l)oom!

Ivory: who knows. Reasonable floor of touches.

Dez: healthy and against terrible Pass Def, only problem is no QB. B(l)oom or Bust.

.33/PPR, must start 1:

Tamme: Hankerson on IR seems to assure targets, but ATL sputtering.

Gilmore: Solid guy, but BAL seems to spread between multi TE/HB sets.

Vernon Davis: Sammy Sosa this week, home run or strike out.

Many thanks.

i have tamme/gillmore projected EXACTLY the same. lean tamme

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Went up against both Rodgers on Thursday night in a must win (ugh!).

Need to pick 2 of the following in 0.5PPR: Gore, Woodhead, Moncrief, and DParker

monc and parker

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig i need some help. My two sure fire starts or OBJ and AROb. I need to know if to start DEZ and only start two RB's or if to sit DEZ and start three RB's.

These are my RB's.

Miller, West, Ware, Langford. Pick 2 RB's if you think i should start Dez or pick 3 if you think i should bench Dez. THank YOU.

Now, a Tight End question. Crockett Gillmore or Vance McDonald??

Thanks in advance Sig.

Non-standard league:

Debating Dalton vs Big Ben merely due to concern for Ben's concussion symptoms potentially lingering and causing issues...I know he technically passed protocol...

Flex spot: John Brown, Frank Gore, Steve Johnson, Woodhead, J Ajayi

My starting RBs and WRs are Dez and Amari and Rawls and CJ andersen.

Love your work! Thanks Bloom!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi, Bloom! Is Matt Jones (can see Washington taking lead and controlling game with a heavy onslaught of rushing) sneakily a better upside play than Ronnie Hillman (further marginalized role in wake of resurging CJ Anderson dominance) today? Thank you.

jones big play ceiling is higher, but hillman floor is much higher. would go hillman

Dynasty, 10 team, head to head format, end of the roster type of question for you Bloom. Without worrying about the rest of my roster, whom do you prefer to hold, and why?

RB Jerrick McKinnon, MIN

WR Tyler Lockett, SEA

or

WR Nelson Agholor, PHI

Which player has the greatest talent? Which one appears to have the best opportunity (now and projected in the future)?

I have McKinnon rostered but am leaning toward Lockett (based on his skills and work ethic, primarily). I doubt that any of these 3 breaks my starting lineup this year but I'd like to see something from whomever I pick up this season, if possible.

Thanks.

Hey Bloom. I'm new to this thread with you, and making the assumption that you work a similar thread each week based on the "Week 13" designation. Please let me know why you passed on a response to my question. Perhaps it is out of the scope of a week 13 question? I'm OK with you stating that it is too difficult to answer, because it requires a crystal ball, if that's the case. Thank you

I'm so sorry, i thought i answered it but it didnt post

i like agholor's long term ceiling the best, lockett if you have to play them before the end of the season

I need to DROP someone in order to play a kicker this week. I got lucky on the wire with nobody picking up Chandler, and I had to play D so I dropped a kicker to hold Chandler, thinking West or Amendola could be out and go to my IR spot.

Roster is as such, 0.5PPR

QB: Cutler

RB: Ingram, D Williams, Rawls, West, Ware, D Johnson

WR: A Brown, Green, Amendola, J Brown, Watkins

TE: Walker, Chandler

I think the obvious drop is Chandler, since Walker will be a fine playoff play. But part of me thinks it'd be nice to have a backup TE just in case, and Watkins will likely never crack my starting lineup, so why not drop him. On the other hand, since nobody picked up Chandler off the waivers, clearly no contending teams need a TE, so it shouldn't hurt me, and Gronk could be back next week. I'd drop Ware, but want to see how the carries get split and how West's hammy holds up before I do that.

Essentially: Chandler or Watkins? Who do I drop?

 

[Stingdiddy]

J Hill or Doug Martin? Non PPR.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Been offered a trade (ppr):

Stafford for Buck Allen

I currently have

Carr & Bradford @ QB

Allen, David Johnson, Woodhead, Langford @ RB

Last couple days before trade deadline and I'm already in the playoffs.

Is this a good trade?

Do I need to make a move for QB?

love stafford's matchups, but i am willing to roll with carr to bolster your dwindling RB depth

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR need 2 out of Forte, Crabtree, Moncrief, Benjamin, Lafell, Stevie Johnson, Cooks, Buck Allen

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

PPR league, start AJ Green or Danny Amendola.

I'd like to start Amendola against Philly, but have no hedge if he is a late scratch.

Thanks,

-Eric

[Sigmund Bloom]

How much weight do you give the ability to use your opponent's QB's weapons in a start/sit decision.

Example: My opponent has Brady in a choice matchup vs the Eagles. Ordinarily I'd start David Johnson over Danny Amendola in the flex, but today I'm wondering if I want to syphon points away from my opponent's top player.

i wouldnt worry about it. play DJ

 

[oddsbodkins]

Hey Sig!

Alfred Morris on the wire. Would you stash him for the playoffs (wouldn't mind someone who gets snaps)? I would drop one D/ST (KC or HOU)

thanks!

 

[nogoodnames]

Hey Sig,

0.5 PPR. I've got first world problems... Who do I go with at flex?

Ivory, Forte, Mike Evans, Jarvis Landry

Much appreciated!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Morning Bloom,

I'm a big underdog this week and need to win, looking for ceiling:

QBFlex, Non PPR scoring.

Need 1 TE: Benjamin Watson, Crockett Gillmore, or Austin Seferian-Jenkins (Off Waivers)

Need 1 at Flex: Jay Ajayi, Charles Sims, or John Brown

Need 2 QB: Brock Osweiler, Matt Ryan, Brian Hoyer

Thanks today, and thanks for everything the entire season - you guys are great.

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom,

Thanks in advance. Your time is much appreciated.

Pick 2 RBs, 2 WRs and a FLEX:

Hey Sig,

Need to start 2 RB's, 2 WR's, and a flex out of these 5 to win my division today:

AP, David Johnson, Mark Ingram, Jeffrey, AJ, and DeMaryius Thomas. I'm thinking AP, Jeffrey, & AJ are slam dunks here.......what do you think about the other 2 spots?

Thanks!

Hey Sig,

How would you rank these Flex options in order:

Julius Thomas

Delanie Walker

DeVante Parker

Kamar Aiken

How would you rank these RB in order:

D.Murray

TJ Yeldon

Frank Gore

Also, Bortles is on the road @ TEN w/o Hurns. Tannehill is at home vs. a bad Ravens pass defense. Is Bortles still the better play?
