[Sigmund Bloom]

Preciate this Bloom. In the semis in two leagues.

Standard scoring league where Rawls got me behind the 8 ball. Walker, Bennett or possibly Ertz (he's on waivers) at TE?

0.5 PPR league. Bennett, Ertz or L.Green at TE?

Forbath or Vinatieri in both leagues?

Thanks!

Hey Bloom --I'm lucky to be playing for the finals this week --- and now with Rawl's performance in a hole and playing the top team so need some upside

Non PPR --

Questions:

QB -- need one: Stafford or Bradford (Flacco and Siemian are also available)

RB 2 - need one: Ware, Farrow,  D. Lewis, C. Sims

WR -going with AB and Dez (also have Smiff and Thielen)

Flex  - Any of the above not picked for WR /RB

Def -- MIA or SD (HOU, OAK, Bmore, NYG also available)

thanks!

flacco

ware

thielen

HOU

 

[KingPrawn]

PPR league

Already started Rawls on TNF so a little behind the 8 ball already.

ETA: Opponent also started Jarvis Landry and Miami defense

Not looking good so far so I need every point I can get.

Gates or Bennet at TE?

At flex, Ty Montgomery or Sammy Watkins? (Already have Rodgers going at QB and McCoy at RB)

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Std scoring, 4 pt passing TD

Question 1-Pick 1

Luck@ min (I have TY too so concerned about having too many guys against elite defense, Min hasnt given up a 20 pt fantasy day yet this year)

Flacco v. Eagle (read a stat flacco is terrible against blitz and eagles blitz a lot)

Eli v. Lion (Lion D has shut down QB;s of late, eli has been poop too)

Question 2

I'm bullish on JJ Nelson, is he startable over cooks in 0.5ppr?  breaux is out for saint

Question 3

I dont quite buy in to the narrative that jordan reed will play enough to be productive with his banged up shoulder.  Picked up Clay @ clevand but is Vernon Davis the bestr play assuming a similar snap count as last week?  Surprised how high Reed is ranked considering the injury and last week usage

luck

cooks

reed

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig -- thanks for the help.

Two questions about my injured mess of a team as I head into a semifinals matchup (0.25 PPR, 5 point per passing TD)

Rivers/Tyrod + AJG/Thomas/Watkins/Inman/Moncrief/Inman/Thielen/Anderson/JJ Nelson + DJ/Blount/Sims + Gresham

1. Rivers or Tyrod?
   
2. AJG & Moncrief look like sits. Thomas will be hard to trust with an injury, afternoon game, and a potential Patrick Peterson matchup. Do you agree? That means I'm starting Watkins, Inman, Thielen, Robby Anderson and JJ Nelson!
   

rivers

WR choices work for me

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

In the semi's going up against the Aaron Rodgers and Le'Veon Bell owner, so there are some potential big guns aligned against me. My hope is that Bell doesn't get 38 carries again (he can't, can he?), and that the bitter cold and wind in Chicago can put the brakes on Rodgers a bit.

Anyway, my dilemma revolves around my running backs, who are all pretty tightly bunched in most peoples projections. I have Jeremy Hill, Carlos Hyde, and Jordan Howard. My initial thought was to leave Howard on the bench, mainly because of your "rational coaching" theory...which I don't think the Bears have (Bears fan here)...case in point being they only gave Howard 13 carries last week. Only 25 fewer than Bell got.

I'm not sure if you factor in weather conditions when you make your projections early in the week, or if you think the weather conditions in Chicago could force both teams to run more than usual, and in Bears case against a stacked box because they have Matt Barkley and not Aaron Rodgers. Or if you think in cold that extreme that everyone may be moving in slow motion. I see you have Hill ranked highest of the 3 because of the higher possibility of a TD, so my guess would be that Hill would be in for you and it boils down to a gut feeling on Howard vs Hyde.

Anyway, this is a long drawn out way of asking, given the likely weather conditions in Chicago, which two of these 3 would you go with?

Thanks for all you do, and I'm a big fan of all the guys on the audible hangouts, which I try to never miss.

Have a great weekend, and of course...Stay Classy!

hyde was playing like such a badass last week i cant bench him

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Salutations, Bloom!

My opponent has Le'Veon Bell and we are projected to be almost dead even.

I'm considering starting Big Ben over:

Palmer vs NO

Kaepernick @ ATL

Bradford vs IND

Smith vs TEN

or should I reconsider?

Also, PPR:

CJ Fedorowicz vs JAX

Gresham vs NO

Doyle @ MIN

palmer gresham

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

I think I need some upside against my opponent this week in a standard league with IDPs. With that in mind:

1. Luck or Mariota (who has the higher floor and ceiling, respectively)

2. Need 2 WRs and a Flex: Edelman, Diggs, T. Hill, Dixon, D. Jackson

My starters:

• Mariota/Luck
  
• McCoy
  
• Coleman
  
• Flex (Dixon?)
  
• T. Hill
  
• D. Jackson (or Edelman/Diggs?)
  
• Eifert
  
• Burfict
  
• Mack
  
• Neal
  
• Vinatieri
  

His lineup:

• Roethlisberger/Stafford
  
• D. Johnson
  
• Rawls (Thursday bust)
  
• J. Hill
  
• TY Hilton
  
• Sanders (maybe Rishard Matthews)
  
• Rudolph
  
• Poz
  
• Cam Jordan
  
• McDougald
  
• Sturgis
  

luck hill jackson dixon

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What do you think Sig? TD heavy league. Need 2 as RB's and one as a flex. It's crunch time! You think Ware is ranked too high? Is he an avoid or simply right in the middle of a flex type option? I mean it's really crunch time with players like Blount, Ware, Miller, Powell, Dixon, and Coleman into the mix. Where do you think Ware ranks with these guys? Somewhere in the middle? Need three. And who's your close 4th of the bunch?

LB Coleman Miller

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

12-team standard. I'd say I'm an underdog, but the opponent has Julio and Powell. He got 9 pts from Baldwin and I can see how Powell does on Saturday to gauge how big of a hole we got.

RB2: Ware vs Gillislee

FLEX: Ware/Gillislee vs Thielen, Malcom Mitchell, Dion Lewis, Devontae Booker, Justin Forsett.

Thanks for the input!!

Taylor Gabriel

Jordan Matthews

Thanks!!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1.  PPR league, please choose 2 WR:

S. Watkins vs Browns (possible high winds)

J. Matthews at Ravens (no Jimmy Smith, no Sproles, Ravens tough against TE and RB)

M. Thomas at Cardinals (will Peterson cover Cooks or Thomas)

2.  D/ST -

Buccaneers - on a roll

Lions - possible sloppy weather 

Bears - 0 degree weather with Rodgers hurting   

Points for turnovers and yards allowed, not for points allowed.   

Thanks.

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom,

Any concerns about the cold weather in Chicago? I've got to start 3 WR (PPR) and have the following options to choose from: Jordy, Alshon, Montgomery, Taylor Gabriel, Tyrell Williams, Golden Tate. Which 3 of those would you roll with? Thanks!

Thanks!

ertz

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Have a WR and Flex Issue (non-ppr - 1/10 rush/rec) need 2 of the 4:

WR Alshon Jeffrey - hate the cold and the fact he's been out 4 weeks

WR Robbie Anderson - like the chemistry but have a hard time trusting Petty

RB Kenneth Dixon - will they actually run the ball more than 12 times?

RB/WR Ty Montgomery - real cold means run the ball more?

one more bonus option. I also have AP. If he actually does play do I start him?

Thanks so much!

monty and dixon, leave AP on bench

 

[NickyHatton]

Thanks so much for your help throughout the year and the service you provide.

One win away from championship game thus I have a few dilemmas/questions.....

QB Brees or Carr (Leaning Carr).  

They are both on the road and Brees in a dome but off two bad games and AZ D @ home I am reluctant whereas I hope/think SD v OAK will be a shootout although Carr had a poor showing last week but I think weather conditions and the cold were a major factor) 4pts/TD throwing, 6pts/td running, 1pt/25 yds passing and bonus at 300 yds passing + bonus for TD passes over 30 yds.

***EDIT - I was leaning Carr but as of now, Crab and Cooper questionable.....

WR pick 3 of the following: Tyrell Williams, Sammy Watkins, Dontrelle Inman, Brandon Marshall, Randall Cobb or Marquise Lee

Leaning Williams, Watkins and ?.  Would you even consider starting two WR from the same team (Willams/Inman?)  6pts/TD, PPR, 1pt/10 yds receiving, bonus for TD yardage over 30 yards.

TE: Delanie or Gates?  

Leaning Delanie and as per above, could you possibly contemplate starting 3 players (2WR and a TE) from the same team?

Also, was able to pick up Adrian Peterson.  Not even thinking of starting and want to see what he does with hopes that if enough, can start him in Championship....if I get there but rolling with Jordan Howard and Spencer Ware this week...it's all I got @ RB.

Thank You.  Happy Holidays!

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey there Bloom, this is a half PPR league, below is who I currently have starting.

QB: Brady

RB: Shady

RB: S Ware

WR: TY Hilton

WR: Tyrell Williams

WR:  Alshon Jeffrey

Flex:  Kenneth Farrow

Have Tyrod on bench, can also acquire Kaep.  Are either worth starting over Brady in your opinion?

Also have on the bench Inman, ARob, and Gillislee.  Would you replace any of the starters with those 3?

looks good to me

 

[mquinnjr]

Flex question in standard scoring:

Michael Thomas

Adrian Peterson

Terrelle Pryor

Thanks Sig!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Pick 3

Watkins, Arob, Fitz, Coleman, Mitchell

[Atul]

sorry i missed ya, had gurley coleman (lewis next), anderson flex, reed TE

Thank you so much for responding! Really appreciate it Sig. 

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks again Bloom!

My QB decision is driving me crazy!  3pt per pass TD, 6pts for Rush TD 1pt per rush yd and 1pt per 25yds pass.  I have Luck vs Minny but can start Kaep, Taylor or Flacco. I really am not feeling Luck this week as he might literally get killed vs Minny.  Love Kaep but my brain tells me no but the match-up tells me yes.  What the hell do I do?

Then I have a WR question in a STD league.  Starting TY Hilton vs Minny and have Crowder vs Car. and Gabriel vs SF (I'm starting Freeman so is it bad to start both?) but I also have Matthews at Balt., Eiffert vs Pitt and Inman vs Oak. should I replace anyone with one of my bench WR's?

Thanks!

id go luck or flacco if you're bothered by luck, but CK could definitely end up being the right choice, trust your gut

eifert and gabriel

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig in ten team standard

At qb Jamies, Colin k, dak, flacco or Alex Smith? Who is safest and who is highest ceiling? 

Need one rb and one flex from jj Nelson, Rob Kelley, Kenneth Farrow, t west, Malcolm Mitchel, Robby Anderson, Cameron Meredith, Dixon, or hightower?

And at te, Bennett, Reed, or gresham?

Thanks Sig!

Happy Holidays Sig!

Got a confusing sit/start for my whole lineup this week. A lot of decent plays. Not sure if I should zig or zag

PPR with 50+ TD bonuses for all positions

Start Q RR WW T FF

QB: Brees/Flacco

RB: L.Miller/S.Ware/K.Dixon/T.Coleman/T.Montgomery(ESPN)

WR: Hilton/T.Hill/A.Robinson/Inman

TE: Olsen/Gates/Brate

Thanks in advance bud

 

[Interseptopus]

Diggs or Gabriel. ppr 

 

[Crusaderfan]

PPR - Graham put me in an early hole. 

Need 2 WR's - Jeffrey vs GB, Gabriel vs SF, JJ Nelson vs NO, Inman vs OAK or Ty Montgomery @ CHI ??

****************************************************************************************************************************

PPR - Need 1 WR and 1 Flex - R. Cobb @ CHI, R. Jennings vs DET, M Jones vs NYG, D. Lewis @ DEN or Beasley vs TB??

Thanks

 

[CabinFever]

Parker, Hogan, or Ginn in PPR league? Not the best flex options I know....

 

[rickyg]

Winston @ dal

flacco vs philly

Or

alex smith vs ten. 

Leaning towards smith BC I think that game lends itself to the best game script for scoring.  

Balt d will shot down philly o.  Flacco won't have to do much I think

dallas dominates top.  Smelling a defensive slow paced game with low pass volume from Winston and new Look Tb def 

what say you?

 

[Andrew74]

0.5 PPR

Cooper or Watkins?

 

[Atul]

0.75 PPR

Please choose one RB:

DWash, Forsett, Booker, Dion Lewis, James White, Sims, Asiata, Hightower, Hillman (slim pickins I know!)

Please choose one flex:

Marqise Lee, JJ Nelson, Coleman, Lafell, Boyd, Hogan, Meredith

Thanks!

 

[Ministry of Pain]

QB please

Mariota, Stafford or...

Tyrod Taylor and Joe Flacco on the waiver wire.

Thanks Bloom

 

[duece2626]

Need 2 WR (PPR)

Dez vs TB

Watkins vs CLE

Lee vs HOU

Boyd vs PIT

R. Matthews (TEN) vs KC 

Which QB? 

Siemein vs NE

Bottles vs HOU 

 

[skol asylum]

PPR (TE's get slight bump with 1.5 pts per 10 yds instead of 1)

1QB 1-2RB 2-4WR 1-2TE 1PK 1DT (9 total)

Current thinking:

Palmer, Carson ARI QB-

McCoy, LeSean BUF RB-

Miller, Lamar HOU RB-

Brown, Antonio PIT WR-

Cooper, Amari OAK WR-

Hill, Tyreek KCC WR-

Kelce, Travis KCC TE-

Bryant, Matt ATL PK-

Bills, Buffalo BUF Def

Any recommended substitutions from any of this list:

QB Luck

RB Ware

WR Tyrell Williams / Thielen / Meredith

TE Brate

Thanks for helping us all out.

 

[skol asylum]

One more league, nonPPR yahoo:

At RB I've got both ATL RBs going against SF. Should I sit Coleman for Peterson? Or i've got another Falcon in Taylor Gabriel at flex I could sit for Peterson (starting OBJ and Tyreek at WR)

Same league, at TE, Ladarius Green or Delanie Walker?

Thanks again!

 

[mr blond]

0.5 PPR

RB (pick 2): Blount, Ware, L.Miller, Farrow

WR (pick 3): Evans, M.Thomas, Crabtree, Ty Montgomery, T. Gabriel

TE (pick 1): L.Green, Ertz

 

[FUBAR]

carr

I'll assume by ranking carr over mariotta you'd rank cam over Mariota too.   But that's my biggest question - Cam or Mariota.  Also same league, Rashad Jennings or Eric Ebron flex, ppr. 

I'm down big in another ppr. Need two with the highest upside- Gabriel, sanders, Mitchell, watkins, or wallace. 

 

[cDrow]

Good morning Bloom. 'Tis the season to worry about weather.

PPR league.

Q1: WR2 - Pick one from Adams, DeSean, Diggs, ARob

Q2: FLEX - Pick one from Howard, Ware, Adams, DeSean, Diggs, ARob

TIA and Merry Christmas.
