My issues right now  for PPR is which 3 do i start with Hilton, Dez, Baldwin, Powell. Obviously Baldwin is Thurs and Powell is Saturday. (Also is Forte playing?)

I'm planning on starting Baldwin and Hilton and then flex Bryant, unless Powell starts and i swap him out. Thoughts?

I am projected to win by 25 so there is some cushion.

Thanks Sig (and community)

sorry i missed ya have powell w/o forte over bryant

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I have to play 3 WRs (non-PPR): T. Gabriel, J. Jones, B. Cooks, M. Mitchell, R. Matthews or I could flex A. Gates.  

My preference is to start Julio, Gabriel and Cooks and play Matthews if Julio can't play.  However, Matthews plays at 1 and Julio at 4pm.  If Julio is a GTD, do I bench Matthews at 1pm and risk having to play Mitchell or Gates if Julio can't go?  Or do I play Matthews and bench one of Cooks/Julio/Gabriel at 4pm if Julio is active?

Also, if it matters, my opponent will have already played Russel Wilson and the Dolphins TD by Sunday, so I'll have a decent idea of what kind of week he is having.

Thanks!

[Sigmund Bloom]

.5ppr

1) have LGreen/Gates/Ertz - they all seem to be lumped together around TE 9 - 11.  Who is the best combo of floor and ceiling?

2) have Julio/BMarsh - gotta pick up 2 WRs to possibly (probably) start. Spent the rest of my FAAB for AJeff.  Thin WW - looking at Garcon, Thielen, RAnderson - who would you start?

Thanks!

[Sigmund Bloom]

You have been so helpful all season putting up with all my questions, here goes one more...

(Probably benching Gurley Thurs unless you LOVE him and reply before Thurs night Kickoff, I'll start him over anyone you recommend benching below).

Please advise on lineup questions below.

BLUE players are the set no-brainer starters RED are the guys I still really need your help deciding between .5 PPR, lineup below:

QB - Andrew Luck at Vikings (or bench for a waiver QB w/ better matchup: Alex Smith v Titans, Bradford v Colts or Siemian v Patriots?)

RB1 - LeSean McCoy

RB2 - Jonathan Stewart

WR1 - Odell Beckham

WR2 - Dez Bryant

WR3 - Tyrell Williams or Edelman or Inman or Robby Anderson?

TE - Travis Kelce

FLEX - Gillislee OR Edelman OR Inman OR Robby Anderson (or add Ginn or Rishard Matthews off waivers)?

DST - Chiefs v Titans or Bills v Browns?

Thank you as always for all your amazing work.

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, thanks for all the help this year--

Mariota or Carr?

And need 3 WRs from this group:  Watkins, Thielen, Steve Smith, JJ Nelson, Malcolm Mitchell, Rishard Matthews. Or I can play 4 of them and sit Spencer Ware--

Thanks again--

thielen watkins smiff

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks for getting us this far again Sig

Standard league:

1. Brees or Tyrod Taylor - lucky I had last week off otherwise Brees would have ended me. I guess this one for me is weather dependent. If its good conditions in Buffalo Im happy to go T-Mobile.
   
2. Ty Hilton @ Vikings or Michael Thomas (assuming active), Tyreek Hill, Diggs, Inman?
   
3. Flex Blount or Farrow?
   

Godspeed

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, 

Trying to carry two teams to the promise land...

My starters are in bold

Team 1:  PPR

QB: Wilson, Stafford 

RB: Bell, Hyde, Kelley, DWill

WR: Mike Thomas, Gabriel,Tyrell Williams, Nuke (if Thomas can't go, playing Williams)

TE: Graham, Eifert (I've gotten this one wrong almost every week)

Anything you would do differently?

Team 2: PPR

QB: Brees, Bradford

RB: Zeke, Rawls, Dixon (Flex1), Gore, Kelley

WR: Landry, Lockett, Alshon  (Flex 2), Mike Thomas

TE: Bennett

On team 2, I get two flex spots.  I'm starting Lockett so if he tanks I may go Mike Thomas as the 2nd flex and Kelley as the 1st flex for higher ceiling...also in this league they give 10 bonus pts for hitting 150 return yards or receiving yards or 120 rushing yards...I say this but I change my mind every 5 minutes...

Thanks Sig, Good luck this week and I hope you land some more "Golden Tickets"

-Eric

sorry i missed ya had eifert over graham. thomas over landry. kelley over dixon

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

4 pts per passing TD.

Need a QB streamer:

* J. Flacco vs PHI -- Good matchup. He does better at home. PHI giving up big plays. Weather could be a problem though.

* T. Siemian vs NE -- Can't run so probably have to throw. M. Butler could be banged up. NE secondary looked pretty good vs Flacco last week though. Going to be cold.

* S. Bradford vs INDY -- Indoors a plus and Bradford throwing deep now. Indy D lousy.

Think I need upside. Facing RB trio of Zeke/Hyde/Miller vs. my rag taggers Murray/Dixon/Farrow.

Which?

Thanks

flacco

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Julio out. Need an upside WR play here in a 0.5 PPR league. Pick one:

* R. Anderson vs MIA -- Decent matchup and B. Marshall banged up. Marshall indicated he's on a pitch count. Anderson being peppered with targets, but weather could be a factor and this game kinda has the feeling of a 13-10 type situation.

* P. Garcon vs CAR -- CAR secondary beatable, Cousins rolling, but lots of weapons. Seems like the safer/higher floor guy. 

* JJ Nelson vs NO -- Floyd gone, Brown limited, Gresham questionable, and now CB D. Breaux has been ruled out. Last time Floyd was out Nelson's snap rate went through the roof and he scored twice. Playing NO, this game has shoot out appeal. 

I'm leaning Nelson. Think his floor his higher than usual and his ceiling is comparable to the other two options.

Which?

Thanks

nelson ceiling play

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

A Jordan Reed question.

Everyone's ranking Reed as if he's a full go. He's practiced and done 1-1 drills where he gets popped. Reports have him "looking better than last week." 

Stick with Reed and wait till Monday night? Or pull the plug on Reed early and stick Gresham in the lineup?

Thanks

reed in

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR league. Need 2 RBs:

* J. Hill vs PIT -- Hill getting the touches.

* S. Ware vs TN -- TN has been tough against the run, but KC favored in the frigid cold. Should be a positive game script but A. Reid screws that up constantly.

* J. Howard vs GB -- Another frigid cold game. GB could get out in front quick limiting touches.

Which two?

Thanks

sit ware

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR league.

Need 2 WRs:

* T. Williams @OAK -- Good matchup, but he had a good matchup last week. Rivers may be forced to throw more minus Gordon.

* S. Smith vs PHI -- Good matchup, but Flacco spreads the ball around. Smith hasn't done much for a while.

* D. Jackson vs CAR -- Been on a tear and PHI gives it up deep.

Which 2?

Thanks

sit tyrell

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Ppr

Ware

or

Rawls?

thanks!

had rawls ahead hope you didnt

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

D question:

* Miami vs NYJ -- A D vs. a B. Petty led offense potentially in the cold rain.

* NYG vs DET -- Same weather against Stafford with a crooked finger.

Which?

Thanks

NYG

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

0.5 PPR.

* K. Farrow @OAK -- Should be in line for a lot of touches even if Hillman is involved. Could be a shootout.

or

* M. Ingram @AZ -- Tough matchup, but has the pedigree.

Who?

Thanks

[Sigmund Bloom]

One TE: Ertz, Bennett or Green

Team D: Hou vs Jax or ATL vs SF

thanks Bloom

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig -

I am in Semis and after outscoring the league by 200+ points for the season in a 12 team PPR league (QB/2RB/3WR/TE/Flex), I limp into the game after a bye with the following issues. Right now it looks like a ONE and Done scenario for my team.

QB - Mariota and Stafford (hate both matchups and considering either Tyrod or Flocco)

RB - Elliott/Gordon/Dion Lewis (Spent most of remaining FA $$ for Farrow) Leaning Farrow along with Zeke

WR - Evans/Tate/Cobb/Watkins/Maclin/Rishard Matthews

TE - Eifert/Ertz

Flex- any of remaining players from above

 Your thoughts on filling out the lineup?

QB - ???

RB -Zeke and Farrow

WR -Evans / Watkins and Tate  are reluctant starters unless you have better advice 

TE -Eifert

Flex- ???

Long winded post, but imput is greatly appreciated.....Thanks  

flacco

farrow

ertz

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Here with go,

 
I know they say to start your studs but do I bench Brees for Taylor or Palmer?

 

Pick 1; Powell vs MIA, Farrow vs SD, or Montgomery vs CHI
 
Pick 3; DT vs NE, Williams vs OAK, Moncrief vs MIN, Robinson vs HOU, Gabriel vs SF, Mitchell vs DEN, Montgomery vs CHI, Anderson vs MIA
 
Pick 1; Ertz vs BAL or Gates vs OAK



 
#kickersmatter should I stick with Gostkowski or go with Janikowski vs SD, Forbath vs IND, Novak vs JAX, or Catanzaro vs NO?

Muchas Gracias!

Standard Scoring: (BOLD for who I am leaning)

1. Jameis or Tyrod?  6/TD; -5/INT (1st intinct was Tyrod because of Browns, but cold and wind scaring me off.)

2. Need 2 of : Michael Thomas, DJax, Watkins, AJG, Jeffery 

3. Have Reed...would you grab Ladarius Green even though Reed has higher ceiling to counter chance he plays minimal snaps two weeks in a row?

[Sigmund Bloom]

The Bloom!

0.5 ppr both leagues, super flex

Need 3 of:

Tyrell Williams vs OAK

Alshon Jeffery vs GB

Michael Thomas at ARI

Isaiah Crowell at BUF

Michael Crabtree at SD

and 3 of:

Stefon Diggs vs IND

Tyrell Williams vs OAK

J. Forsett vs NE

Isaiah Crowell at BUF

Adam Theilen vs IND (is it pure madness to start 2 minn wrs?)

(this is all assuming I'm benching Julio)

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Tough one here, but no one I trust more to guide me.

How do I manipulate MFL and unstart Thomas Rawls?   I'll also need to erase the memory of any league mates who saw my lineup already.  I'd like to leave them with most happy childhood memories, but not opposed to a complete wipeout if necessary.  

Thanks!

lots of alcohol

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks for thoughts last week...you confirmed my gut and it paid off.

Kelley v. CAR

Crowell @ BUF

Jeffrey v. GB

Farrow v. OAK

1 pt = 10 yds rush/rec

5 pt bonus = 100 yds rush/rec

.5 PPR

2 pt. bonus = 10 rececptions

2 pt. & 4 pt. bonuses = TDs over 40 and 60, respectively

6 pts = TDs

Hey Bloom. Dolphins, Packers or Falcons DST? DST gets points for yards allowed and points allowed. Thanks!

 

[Binky The Doormat]

kelley and jeffery

Sig - saw a tweet from Bales - it looks like historically this kind of weather pulls QB scoring down significantly.  How much do you think the weather takes AJeff down?
