Week 14 Questions for Bloom (2 Viewers)

[FBAg94]

Hi Bloom,

With Gurley's decline and Luck out, I've been QB streaming which is fine, but concerned about RB heading into the playoffs.

The team with Adrian Peterson is in the basement, so I was thinking of the trade offer below. thoughts?

0.5 ppr/ 10 teams/ dynasty/ 20 man roster/ 10 starters: QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 DEF, 1 PK

Adrian Peterson + Sammy Watkins for Moncrief + D. Adams, L. Murray and J. Langford (debating the last one).

QB: Luck, Fitz

RB: Gurley, Hill, Woodhead, Rawls and B. Powell

WR: ODB, Evans, A. Jeffrey, Jordy, Hopkins and Perriman

TE: Kelce and Eifert

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Hey Sig,

A dupe post with questions got burried a few pages back with at least a dozen questions asked that don't appear in this thread and I'm sure you would like to not disappoint anyone who was expecting an answer.

Hi Sig,

Playoff play-in game in 2QB (PPR, if that matters) league. Choose two QB from: P. Rivers, T. Taylor, T. Bridgewater, M. Hasselbeck

No viable QBs on waivers.

I think Taylor is an autostart, so that leaves one from Rivers, Teddy, Hasselbeck.

Your thoughts?

 

[Chalie14]

Good evening Sigmund,

Playoff spot at stake. Appreciate your input these past few weeks . . . . . could use it one more time.

please pick 2 RB : JHill, AP, Hillman, SWare, Starks or Blount.

please pick 2WR: RCobb, ACooper, Moncrief or LaFell (ARob already in)

2pts / 25yds rush or receiving (bonus for distance TD's)

Thank you !!!

[proninja]

On a scale of 1-10, how insane am I considering starting Bortles over Rodgers this week?

Also debating Jeremy Hill vs Charcandarick West and Reed vs Eifert.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

On a scale of 1-10, how insane am I considering starting Bortles over Rodgers this week?

Also debating Jeremy Hill vs Charcandarick West and Reed vs Eifert.

For the record, I'm starting Bortles over Rodgers this week and feel good about it.

 

[huntsw1]

What are your thoughts on dropping Demarco to pick up a handcuff or a back with upside (PPR league)? Really thinking about picking up Spencer Ware, Theo Riddick (great week 15 matchup), or James White. If so, which of these three would you target?

Should I hold onto Woodhead as well or drop him for one of these three? His week 15 and 16 matchups look good but has not been used the last couple of weeks.

 

[bignatecv]

Bloom work your magic buddy! Im sitting at 5th in a 4 team playoffs league, a win this week will move me into the 4th spot.

Standard league

Pick 3 WR

Dez

DJax

Hurns

DeVante Parker

Moncrief

Pick 2

Lamar MIller

James White

Tim Hightower

Langford

Thanks bud!

 

[az1538]

Big Ben has been great for me. But he's playing a team he shat the bed against last time he played them. i do have ALEX SMITH on my bench and WINSTON is available on FA. However, I don't think this is a time to get cute with my roster: leave with the girl that brought you to the dance. Agree? (4pt/TD, 1pt/50 yds, -2/INT)

Pick 2 in PPR: Marsh, Stevie, Cooper, Parker (leaning Marsh & Stevie if he plays. I don't trust WRs against that DEN secondary.

Pick 2 in STD: Cooper, Watkins, TY, Baldwin (leaning Watkins & Baldwin)

Thanks!

 

[deadhead]

Sig

2 QB Superlex.

Cam Newton vs ATL

Carson Palmer vs MIN

Jameis Winston vs NO

I have to sit one of these. Logic would say play Carson and Cam, but the matchup is just so crazy good for Winston.

Thanks again Sig. You rock.

 

[Pearl Frumpkin]

Is it a bad idea to start 2 arizona WR tonight during the fantasy playoffs? Also, I need 2 players to start at WR.

Need to pick 2 to start at WR. No PPR.

John Brown - Min

M. Floyd - Min

V. Jackson - NO

D. Baldwin - @Bal

Thanks Bloom!

 

[JNox3]

Maybe we should start another thread to let him know there are Thursday night questions

 

[nogoodnames]

Hey Sig...

Wondering what to do at RB this week. 0.5 ppr.

Forte and ?

Can go with Gurley, Draughn, Gore, Langford or McFadden. Gurley's decline has me concerned to say the least with him...

Any help greatly appreciated!

 

[JaxBill]

Amari Cooper vs Denver

-or-

Jarvis Landry vs Giants

(non-PPR)

Denver has the much better defense but Jarvis Landry was almost an afterthought last week.

 

[MissionCoach]

[Sigmund Bloom]

What the hell do I do with Murray? My 2 RB and 2 WR are set (Stew, Ivory, Evans, Jeffery). I'm picking from a *very* mixed bag for my flex -- Murray, Ryan Mathews, John Brown, Moncrief, Langford, Matt Jones, or waiver adds like Devante Parker, Marvin Jones, Golden Tate. I mean, if we get clarity on the Philly situation, I think the answer is Mathews. I just don't think we'll have *any* clarity at before Sunday (and Brown goes on Thursday if I'm going to use him).

brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

I just got a bye week in my PPR league where I have pretty balanced depth (except Eifert being hurt). So I'm wondering who you think would be a good stash while I'm on bye out of the following players...I can pick up 2, (or 3 if you think I should drop Kamar or Tbenj):

Richard Rodgers

Eric Ebron

DeVante Parker

DGB

Dan Herron

Charles Sims

James White

Kerwynn Williams

Anquan Boldin

Darren Sproles

I know you make the waiver report but I was hoping for advice tailored to being on bye and making a preemptive stash. I have 8/200 dollars left in my FAAB so I was planning on bidding ~$5 on Rodgers/Ebron but $0 on the others.

Thank you!

-Alex

rodgers parker and DGB for Aiken

Hi Sig -- Facing the regular season points leader.

In TD-only scoring:

..Wilson, Carr, or Eli

..2 from Stew, Rawls, C. West, Langford, Gore (why is JStew questionable?)

..2 from OBJ, Evans, Coop (if I can get Parker, should I pick up AND start him over any of the above?)

..Watson or ASJ

..Gould, Barth, or Crosby

Thank you kindly, good sir.

Hey Sig,

Need to decide on a flex in a .5 PPR league between these three guys, and I'm certain I'll be indecisive all week:

Hilton (@ JAX)

Evans (vs. NO, also where I'm leaning)

Gurley (vs. DET)

Thanks!

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Won the NFFC primetime league (ppr, 3rd in a row!), now in the big dance. Anquan Boldin, Tedd Ginn (I got no hands but darn am I fast or what?), or Stevie Johnson (depending on injury) at WR?

Thanks!!!

Hank

[Sigmund Bloom]

Long time listener, first time caller.

Standard PPR. Which 3 of 4 to start at RB/Flex:

Freeman

J. Allen

West

Forte

(I think what I'm really asking is do I play West or Forte)

sit west

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sigmund. I just dropped Ryan Mathews RB (like a meathead) prior to week 13 in my 0.5 PPR. I have #1 waiver priority now (out of 6, cascading), and a week 14 BYE. Do I burn it and pick him back up for my FLEX, pick up Hightower (with the Ingram news 12/09), or sit tight?

My roster...

QB B Roethlisberger

RB1 DeA Williams

RB2 T Rawls

WR1 A Brown

WR2 O Beckham

WR3 AJ Green

Flex D Parker MIA

Bench (all RBs, waiting for injuries)

J Ajayi

J Todman

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom,

Thank you for helping all year!

Need one of these QB's...6pts per TD 1pt per 25yds pass and 1pt per 10yds rush.

Winston vs NO (leaning this but TB could run all day)

Tannehill vs NYG (Like this matchup but 85yds last week)

Hoyer vs NE (volume)

Need two RBs and one WR of these in STD league:

DMC at GB

Draughn at Cleveland

Allen vs Seattle

Stew vs Atl.

Evans vs NO

DThomas vs Oak.

Thanks!

winston

draughn

stew

DT by a hair

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Thanks for doing this...I'm playing a monster team that's the top scoring team in our 0.5 PPR league. I've already played him twice, and he ALWAYS blows up against me. I'm hoping the third time's a charm and I stop him from getting a hat trick.

Allen Robinson vs Indy

AJ Green vs Pitt

Demaryius Thomas vs Oak

Doug Baldwin @ Bal

Have to pick 3 out of 4. Your thoughts?

I realize my WR core is pretty stacked. But unfortunately, my RBs are not.

Lamar Miller vs NYG

Woodhead @ KC

T. Riddick @ STL

I have to pick 2 of these RBs.

Or I could try to pick up Sproles or Powell from the waiver wire.

Thanks!

id sit DT, pick up sproles and play him with miller and light a prayer candle

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig...

I'm starting Jonathan Stewart and Jeremy Hill at RB, but need help with my WR and flex. nonPPR

Need 2 WR and 1 Flex out of:

DeSean Jackson

Dez Bryant

Allen Hurns

Brandon LaFell

Donte Moncrief

Vincent Jackson

Matt Jones

Right now, I'm leaning DeSean Jackson, Dez, and Vincent Jackson. VJax has to go off against NO, right? I'd put Hurns in there if he's going to play. Lots of variable at play!

i agree dez djax vjax

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

hi sig,

thanks for the help this season..

is todman still the backup to de-will? is he worth holding onto? or is any pitt backup worth holding onto for the next 3 weeks?

I'm in in a distance scoring, non-ppr league can you rank rest of season, we treat tight ends as WR's:

REST OF SEASON: wrs: lfitz, j brown, m Floyd (ariz), eifert, d walker, aiken

REST OF SEASON: rbs: j hill, e lacy, woodhead, bilal powell, polk, matt jones, sproles, kerwyn Williams, j white (ne),

and who do you like for week 16, I need to plan ahead for that chance...

alex smith home v cle, Dalton at den, hoyer at Tenn, Martiotta home vs hou

THANKS!!!.

think its toussaint now, sure in deep lg

walker - ARI WRs in order you listed - eifert - aiken

lacy hill white jones powell sproles woodhead polk kw

MM

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Thanks for doing this all season. I have a couple of questions.

Start Winston or Fitzpatrick at QB?

Start Watson or R.Rogers at TE in a .5ppr league?

In another PPR league start TY Hilton or Cobb?

Watson or Scott Chandler at TE?

Should Spencer Ware sniff my line up or stick with AP, Gore and J Hill?

I also need to start two of M.Floyd, Amendola or J.Landry.

Thank you for your time on any of these!!
