Week 13 Questions For Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Kwai Chang Caine]

HI Sig,

FFPC in 6th place and barley hanging on. Already played Ingram (doh!!). Have to decide RB2 and Flex. Options are Josh Adams, Cohen and Ware who I had stashed. Also, have Greg Olsen as potential flex. Need upside. As of now I have Admas and Ware in and Cohen and Olsen (my TE is Kelce) on bench. Do you agree or would you change that lineup? 

Thanks!

 

[gzwick26]

Thank you very much for your help.

FFPC scoring

Pick 1- Rudolph, Mike Williams, Derrick Henry, Ellington, Conley, Dede

Dolphins or Bills D

Jonnu Smith or Jimmy Graham

Cohen or DJ Moore

Cohen, Dion Lewis, or Breida

Lacosse or Ellison

Pick 2- Cohen, McCoy, Ellington, Conley, Dede, Ap

Pick 3- McCoy, AJ, Ridley, Michel, Adams, Bus Edwards

Thanks again

 

[KingPrawn]

Thanks for your weekly input and advice.

PPR league this week Josh Adams or Spencer Ware?

I imagine you'll got a lot of Spencer Ware questions this week so here goes. Where do you see him finishing ROS? Kareem Hunt was 8th in points at 21 PPG in our PPR league. What do you see Ware dong in that offense? 80% of Hunt's fantasy points? Less? More?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

4 different leagues.

- .5 pt. PPR league, have to start 2. Yeldon, Boyd, Gus the Bus, Corey Davis or Alshon?

- Lamar Jackson or Big Ben?

- 1pt PPR league, pick 2. Baldwin, Alshon, Smokey Brown or Doctson? I know Brown and Doctson are rolls of the dice but might be worth it this week.

- Thanks for your help. Started following you this year. Love the content

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Lost Fournette for this week, PPR league, go with Dion Lewis or Tarik Cohen?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig, I thought trading for Brady would resolve my QB-carousel, but not seeming to be the case, especially this week. Who do I roll out in a week where I am being cost points with Fournette being suspended, and need to pick them up elsewhere:

Brady at home vs Vikes
Lamar Jax in ATL vs Falcons
 

Also, as my RB2, Tevin Coleman vs BAL or Yeldon vs INDY in non-PPR. I’m down 19 pts already as my opponent has Zeke Elliot.

Ljax

coleman

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig,

Of dalvin cook, marlon mack & Michel, would u bench any for Courtland Sutton upside. They all scare me especially Mack and Michel. I’m chasing a 65 point difference to get into 7th place and avoid 8 vs 1 who is a monster. 

You seem to be worried that burkhead would take touches from Michel. I think mike Reiss thinks he’ll only come in on every third series but u think this a big downgrade for Michel? 

Also,

I picked up justin Jackson. Matt Waldman says he could make noise. I hold onto every nugget he gives out since u don’t just speak with the OZ. That being said, I need to pick up a kicker... drop Jackson or Rex? I own Michel. 

Thank you! Can’t believe how long some of these messages are, your really a man of the people. 

id drop jackson and leave your RB trio in

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1st, thanks for answering my initial question. 2nd, I forgot to put my other question(s):

League 1(.5PPR, passing TD = 4pts):

My roster (currently in 1st at 10-2) - Start: QRRWWTFKD

• QB: Watson , L. Jackson
  
• RB: Gurley, Kamara, Chubb , Lindsay, M. Brown, S. Ware 
  
• WR: AJ Green, TY Hilton, J. Gordon, A. Cooper, Humphries 
  
• TE: Kelce, Brate
  
• K: Zuerlein
  
• DST: MIN
  

Question 1: do you start Chub @ HOU or Lindsay @ CIN at my flex **Edit - would Ware be worth starting over both Chubb or Lindsay?

Question 2: defense question - Would you stick with MIN D @ NE or add one of: TEN vs. NYJ or MIA vs. BUF? (I "should" keep the #1 seed (bye + money), but there's still a chance if I lose I could drop to 2 {bye - no money})

Question 2.1: Looking forward to week 15 (will at least get a 1st round bye) do you like MIN D vs MIA or BAL vs. TB

League 2 (.5 PPR all TD's = 6pts):

Fighting for a playoff spot and need a win this week. Currently have Rivers starting at QB, but both Cousins & L. Jackson are available on the WW. 

Question: Would you add either Cousins  @ NE or Jackson @ ATL and start over Rivers (Each transaction costs me $5)? 

Question 2: with the news on Hunt, would you start Ware over Carson??

thanks again (again) 

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

TJ Yeldon

Blount

Jalen Richard

Thank you

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK!

PPR- you semi-gushed about Josh Adams for this week in the preview pod but you have him ranked RB31? Due to Sproles possible return? Game script? Lack of targets? Need to start 1 of Adams and Cook. 

clement warming up, sproles back, lack of passing game involvement. i would go with cook and hope for rational coaching that gets him a lot of targets matched up with slow NE LBs

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Doing a repost of this with new information that both Funchess and C. Samuel praticed.

Still sit A. Jeffery and roll with both J. Gordon and DJ Moore?

Feel like DJ is a tad more dicey now.

Thanks

in ppr maybe jeffery, but still love moore's ceiling vs TB with backup secondary

 

[JohnnyU]

PPR league - Start Anthony Miller or Trey Burton?   The Giants aren't very good against the run and only slightly better against the pass.  Burton has slowed down some the last few weeks but Ertz and 91/1 against them last week.  Miller isn't catching a lot of passes or yards (with the exception of week 10), but he is finding the end zone.

Thanks Bloom.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

.5 PPR

Pick 4 from list, can start 1 or 2 RB’s:

Conner / Chubb / Ekeler / Tyreek / Antonio Brown / TY Hilton

Thanks brochacho!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

[Sigmund Bloom]

you have both Josh Doctson and Jordan Howard listed as sleepers this week.

i need to pick one for my ppr flex option.

thanks.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Been reading your RentaD articles weekly.  In a league that penalizes yards & pts allowed & rewards sacks & TO's, & playoffs are 14-17, thinking about NE for 14 & 17, Det or Den for 15 & 16.  Thoughts?

[kyoun1e]

I've locked up a playoff spot, but still can secure a bye as a top seed. I'm looking ahead and trying to prepare for both week 14 and 15.

Big question is this: Would you make an add of any kind or just sit tight?

Here's my roster. I've included week 14 and 15 matchups for drop candidates in bold:

* QB: R. Wilson (vs MN, @SF), L. Jackson (@KC, TB), M. Trubisky (LAR, GB).

* RB: T. Gurley, A. Jones, J. Conner, N. Chubb, S. Ware, M. Mack (@HOU, DAL) -- ** Note *** Can start 3 RBs.

* WR: J. Gordon, A. Jeffery, DJ Moore

* TE: R. Gronkowski

* D: CHI (LAR, GB), NO (@TB, @CAR)

I've aggregated three options at QB to play matchups and have lucked out with RBs (I'm super loaded). However, that's now handcuffing me in terms of my ability to add/drop and attend to other needs such as Defense where Chicago doesn't have the best matchups, WR where I'm light and A. Jeffery is a concern, and backup TE where Gronk is a constant worry.

Available for pickup:

* WR: C. Conley (Watkins could be done). Lot of other fringe guys such as J. Brown, Enunwa as well.

* D: Dallas (@PHI, @INDY), SEA (MN, @SF)

* TE: C. Brate

I could drop M. Trubisky. He's hurt and who knows if he'll be ready next week. If he is, he may be my starting QB in a shootout. However, there's a good chance I could drop him and get him back. Could also drop L. Jackson if we really believe Flacco is back, but his potential down the stretch could be high. And M. Mack...well, I don't need him and his schedule is tough, BUT I don't want anyone else to have him!

So...is the best move just maybe sit still? And possibly let things sort themselves out? Or make a move now?

Thanks

 

[starks]

Siggy Smalls!

Dropped kicker in mad scramble to get Ware so I need to drop someone below. 10 team TD heavy league, start 1 rb, we, te and 3 flex.

Rbs: Conner, Ware, David Johnson, Aaron Jones, Breida,  Lamar Miller, kerryon, josh allen 

TE: Brate and Olson

Leaning Olsen but even in 10 team it's slim Pickens. My RB is deep so leaning Adams or Kerryon as well as I think they might be shutting him down. 

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hunt owner in a bit of a pinch 

I need a flex now that I have to move Breida to RB2 

I have Brate, Tate, Justin Jackson. I can also pick up Conley or Dotson 

0.5 ppr, 1 point per 10 yards, 2 point bonus for 100, 150 and 200 yards (don't have to worry about these bonus points I think) 

Thanks as always Bloom! 

doctson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Ware just put me in a dilemma.

Pick 3...

D. Johnson, S. Michel, S. Ware, P. Lindsay

and then

Boyd or Ridley for WR2

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Pick two this week in standard league:

Mixon (Den)

Ekeler (@Pit)

Ware (@Oak)

Carson (SF)

Backup WRs are John Brown and Josh Reynolds (start Tyreek and M. Thomas). Should I pick up Conley and drop Brown? Like Balt schedule, hate the QB situation.

Have Bears and Houston DSTs. Week 14 looks bad (Rams and Colts respectively). I can pick up Tennessee preemptively (Jax), but who should I drop:

Herndon (have Brate)

Brown

Thanks a bunch!

hold brown

 

[DrCoats]

denver

Thx. 

Now, if you have Chi D/ST in leagues like that, do you see any BETTER options at this point in wks 15 or 16 that you think you'd play over Chi?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Since I was able to pick up Ware today, need to ask, with the Hunt situation, where do you roughly slot Ware this week? High enough to start over Conner or Chubb in standard?

not quite

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks for all your help Bloom

12 team league, 1 PPR, standard scoring

Pick 1 WR:  Samuel @ TB;  Baldwin vs SF;  Conley @ Oak; Gabriel @ NYG

i see ware as a low RB1/strong RB2 but we could be surprised by one of the other backs too

Thanks Bloom.

Ill go with burton because of how poor the giants are at defending the TE and snap count in a conservative game plan for Chicago. miller had his lowest snap count in a long time last week

Week 15 Baltimore maybe. not Week 16

 

[Jayded]

Thanks in advance!

PPR flex: T. Cohen @ NYG or C. Godwin vs CAR

 

[Captain Crunk]

1 PPR - Fitz, Ridley, Corey Davis or Baldwin - Pick 2.

Ben or Luck?

.5 PPR Flex - Josh Adams, Tevin, Or Kirk?

.5 PPR WR 2 - AJ, Lockett, or Davis ?  Ware, Edwards, Mack or any of the WR not picked for flex?

Wilson or Wentz - hard to trust Wentz but I thought I would ask.

TIA!

 

[knickstorm]

Not a whole lot of great options, but need 1 wr, 1 rb and 1 flex out of these in a half ppr

Landry, Baldwin, Conley, Gabriel

hyde, Blount, Barber, and Jorden Reed.

 

[Ranethe]

Thank you for your input.

Please pick 2 flex from this group (staggered PPR .25/.5/1.0  for RB/WR/TE):

Tarik Cohen/Legarrette Blount/AJ Green/Greg Olsen. (Currently have Cohen/Green in).

[kyoun1e]

PPR league. Pick one:

* Note: RBs get 1 pt for every 4 rushing attempts.

* M. Mack @JAX -- Believe he's questionable. Not a great matchup at all and didn't do well last game vs JAX. Gamescript could be positive though.

* D. Baldwin vs SF -- Good matchup for Baldwin in the slot, but not sure how much Wilson will have to throw.

* J. Gordon vs MN -- Tough MN D, but X. Rhodes could be out or limited.

Who?

Thanks

 

[Scrapps]

Dr. Bloom,

Would you rather roster K. Dixon or Darrel Williams?

 

[Simplysexie]

Sup Sig, 

In the playoffs, with Sanders and DJ Moore as my WR1&2, drop Smokey, Arob, JReynolds, burkhead for Malcom Brown or Rod Smith, if so who?

Thanks
