Week 16 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[FUBAR]

Desperation play with OBJ out.

Corey brown or Roddy white? If it matters, I also start Olsen and ginn. Super bowl opponent has Cam and a better team with Beckham out.

 

[jimmykick]

Injuries have decimated me in playoffs.

If jstew sits i gotta pick ivory or white (or mckinnon if ap sits)

James jones or diggs (if alshon and amendola sits)

 

[Heaton]

PPR - Play Crabtree or Wheaton? Wheaton has been much better the past 4 weeks and getting nearly as many targets.

 

[H.Wiggen]

Must start two, standard scoring:

Gore

Hightower

Hillman

Desaun Jackson

 

[dtroitkid]

Bortles or Wilson?

6 pt pass TD, -3 interceptions

Both games 4 oclock start times.

Most of my opponents players (8 of 9) play at 1 o'clock.

If things are going well, I'm thinking of going Bortles (higher ceiling)

If things are going bad, I'm thinking Wilson (higher floor)

Sound reasonable?

Also, thinking of going Wilson either way if Brees doesn't play vs. Jax

 

[FUBAR]

Christine Michael or Denard Robinson in ppr?

Non ppr

If Brees is out - Fitzpatrick or Bridgewater? Even if Brees plays, do you start him?

Bilal Powell or Christine Michael?

And happy holidays sig!

 

[Chalie14]

Good morning Sigmund,

Championship game . . . . . . . . 2pts per 25yds / bonus points for distance TD's

Pick 1: Tom Brady or Matthew Stafford ? Been flip-flopping all week . . . . . . . help!!

Thank you and Merry Christmas !!

 

[Andrew74]

First up, thanks for all the work you do Sig. From these threads, the Audible, etc.

QB: I have Brees and Ryan. The only late game option is Keenum and the Saints' backup. I could pick up Hasselbeck, Hoyer, Weeden, Mallet, or Mettenberger. If Brees is looking iffy, do I just plug Ryan in? Or roll with Brees/Saints' backup? Pick up a WW QB? Why are the Saints even playing a 4PM game?

TE (0.5PPR): Ertz or Z Miller?

 

[ThatDude98]

1.0 PPR, 0.5 Rushing Attempt (!), .1 per yard (rushing /receiving), distance bonuses

Need to Choose 4 (2 RB / 2 Flex) of the following

Freeman (vs CAR)
D. Williams (@ BAL)

L. Murray (vs SD)
-------------------- (llikely starting the 3 above)

Hightower (vs JAX)

K. Williams (vs DAL)
Gurley (@ SEA)


Waivers: Jennings (@ MIN), Payne (@ ATL), Powell (vs NE)

 

[BlackMagic10]

Standard scoring, kinda in a bind due to OBJ's suspension.

Start 3 WRs, 2 RBs and 1 flex (WR/RB/TE)

WRs: Floyd (AZ), Maclin, Aiken, DGB

RBs: L. Murray, J. Hill, Hillman, Artis-Payne, D. Brown, A. Andrews

Leaning towards starting Floyd, Maclin and Aiken at WR, L. Murray and Artis-Payne at RB and DGB or J. Hill as my flex...

Thanks in advance!

 

[kyoun1e]

Need a QB for the championship. 4 pts per passing TD.

* K. Cousins @PHI

* R. Fitz vs NE

Note: I am a 20+ point underdog against the likes of Cam, Baldwin and others so I need upside. Can't play it safe.

Thanks

 

[kyoun1e]

0.5 points per reception. Also 1 pt for every 20 yards receiving.

Question: Should I bench A. Cooper tonight understanding other options available. I'm concerned about top corner Verrit's coverage on Cooper.

I start three WRs. Here are my other options:

* B. Cooks vs JAX -- Great matchup but Brees status.

* J. Brown vs GB

* K. Aiken vs PIT

* D. Moncrief @MIA

Note: Showers and gusty winds in the forecast in Oakland tonight.

Keep Cooper in the lineup? Or bench?

Thanks

 

[AwesomeAuger]

PPR and a 3 point bonus at 100 yards. Playing for the championship!

I need a rb and two flexes (RB/WR/TE) from:
Hightower
Buck Allen
Hillman/CJ Anderson
Christine Michael

Hilton (squeaky wheel gets the grease?)
Zach Miller (no Jeffery)
Will Tye (no ODB)

For context, my roster:
QB Roethlisberger
WR Julio
WR Jarvis Landry
WR John Brown
RB Denard Robinson
RB
TE Olsen
Flex
Flex
K Bullock
D/ST KC


I'm playing against this team:
QB Bortles
WR Antonio Brown
WR Decker
WR Lockett
RB David Johnson
RB Gore (JStew if he's active)
TE Jordan Reed
Flex Ben Watson
Flex Rueben Randle
K McManus
D/ST Phi
Thanks for all the help this year! You are by far my favorite fantasy football analyst!

 

[cbale]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Of the four:

Lamar Miller

Tim HIghtower

Charcandrick West

Michael Floyd

Please help me pick 2 RBs to start and with the flex between the 3rd RB and Floyd (.5 PPR league).

Thanks!

 

[montana_grizzly_bears]

1 point per 10 rushing or recieving, 5 points per 5 recepts, 5 points per 20 rushes, 5 points at 100 rushing or recieving

@ RB:

Ivory or Powell

@ WR Need 2 from:

Baldwin (questionable- Hammy)

Ginn (questionable- Quad)

Aiken.

 

[westhemess2]

Hey Sig,

PPR

Pick 2 - Hightower, Powell, CMike, McFadden, J.Allen, Artis-Payne

 

[CorumMc]

2 questions:

1) Thoughts on whether BJ Daniels' points will score for the WR/Flex position if he fills in for Hoyer this week? He is in the WR ranks in CBS.com this week. If so it might be worth playing him.

2) I am going up against Cam this week in the finals. I grabbed Ginn off waivers. Is it worth playing him in an attempt to block some of Cam's points?

Our teams.

ME THEM

Big Ben C Newton

A Peterson K Williams

T Gurley D Freeman

AJ Green T Lockett

J Brown G Tate

L Fitzgerald R Rodgers

Delaney Walker A Robinson

S Gostkowski S Haushka

Chiefs Seahawks

I have Dez Bryant, BJ Daniels, CJ Anderson and obviously Ted Ginn on my bench.

 

[Mungo Burrows]

Barely limping into champ games with decimated lineups - underdogs in both

Full point PPR. Underdog in the game, but can't completely ignore floor or I could also lose total points through week 16 if i lose too badly

3 RB, 1WR
West
Shoelace (also have Yeldon, I'm assuming/hoping he's out)
C Michael
R. Mathews
B. Powell
C. Ivory

J. Brown
M. Floyd
J. Landry


Std scoring, I am heavy underdog so looking for upside

1 RB, 2WR, 1TE

C. Michael
B. Powell
J. White

J. Matthews

R. Randle
D. Moncrief
M. Wheaton (WW)
J. Kearse (WW)
N. Washington (WW) (Shorts out)
Might as well throw Keyshawn Martin in the mix with amendola looking iffy. or does that move White up at RB?

Z. Miller
W. Tye (Starting him and randle together would probably limit upside, right?)

 

[BlackHole]

Thanks in advance Sig....

Need to pick three. PPR (0.5 RB/WR and 1 TE), length of TD's matter. I already have Gronk starting.

D. Walker (typically a no brainer...QB issue has me concerned)

J. Brown, Hurns, Benjamin, Lockett, Gin Jr.

 

[ronstoppable86]

Hi Sig,

Pick 1 WR and 2 superflex from the following:

Tannyhill

Cobb

A cooper

I could also pick up B Powell and z Miller of waivers.

Hey Sig,

Thanks for doing what you do, all year.

Need 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex (RB/WR) in 0.5 PPR

Latavius, Shoelace, Hightower, James White

Evans, Calvin, Mike Floyd

Can't seem to pull the trigger on benching a WR in the flex.

Thanks - happy holidays, brotha!

 

[skol asylum]

Any suggested changes to my initial line-up?

PPR...TEs get bump with 1.5 pts per 10 yds instead of 1 pt.

Wondering if I can trust Megatron or Lamar Miller. Trying to pick the right TEs.

Currently going:

QB (1) Palmer

RB (1-2) Latavius

WR (2-4) ABrown, JBrown, Hurns

TE (1-2) Tye, Kelce

PK (1) Hauschka

DT (1) Bills

Major Bench options Miller, Hightower, Megatron, Watson, Boswell.

Thanks and Feliz Navidad.

 

[kyoun1e]

0.5 points per reception league.

I'm a big underdog so need upside.

Pick 2 RBs (to sit alongside David Johnson):

* L. Miller vs INDY

* C. Ivory vs NE

* C. Artis-Payne @ATL

* R. Mathews vs WASH

* A. Abdullah vs SF

Thanks

 

[SantaRosaUte]

Thanks again, Sig.

PPR league Championship final decisions (slight underdog):

CAP over Ivory?

Lions vs Patriots

Boswell (maybe no xps) vs Santos (bad weather)

Does loser of CAP/Ivory decision slide ahead of Snead if Brees is out? Or Jeremy Butler/Hogan/Sanu?

Happy Holidays!

 

[kyoun1e]

0.5 points per reception.

Need upside. Projected as 20+ point underdog:

* T. Kelce vs CLE

* W. Tye @MN

Thanks

 

[bignatecv]

Bloom!!

The team I'm up against is the highest scoring in my standard non ppr league.. kinda feel I need to go higher ceiling rather than higher floor.. What do you think?

Pick 1 RB

L Miller

Hightower

White

Langford

TE

Kelce

Z Miller

Streaming kickers

Tucker

John Brown

Carpenter

prater

 

[pnihan]

Help!!

Need 4 WRs. Full point PPR

Julio

ARob

Cooper

Michael Floyd

John Brown

Ted Ginn

Am I insane to think about sitting Julio?

 

[Courtjester]

Well this is my first who to start question of the year, so any help would be appreciated.

Standard 1 pt per reception 1 pt per 10 yards receiving.

Julio--lack of TDs is concerning and this is a tough matchup vs Carolina.

E.Sanders--benched him last week and almost paid for it

J. Maclin--great matchup this week. Pretty locked in on this pick this week.

S. Watkins--just on fire over the last few weeks.

Need 3--I am thinking of sitting Julio with this group.

As you can imagine with this collection of WRs, my RBs are weak and I have to get points from my WR to make up for it.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Bloom post answers on Sunday?

 

[jimmykick]

Donald brown a decent option tonight? Decent as in better than ivory james white or james jones

 

[motoclube]

[Sigmund Bloom]

I'm thinking of starting Karlos Williams in my flex in a PPR league over B. Marshall. Always concerned how Belicheck effectively takes out the opposing teams best player. Thoughts? I also have the option of benching Gurley and keeping Marshall in my flex.
