Week 16 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

Must start two, standard scoring:

Gore

Hightower

Hillman

Desaun Jackson

sorry i missed you had it djax gore

 

[MaxThreshold]

Bortles or Roethlisberger? My opponent has Antonio Brown. Bortles has a slightly better matchup and worried PIT will go up early and run the rest of the way.

Also, S.Diggs or W.Snead? Worried about Brees not being able to play well with injury (or even pulled later in the game) and how that would affect Snead. Diggs playing against literally the worst pass d in the league, but he also has Bridgewater throwing to him.

6pt TDs, 1pt/10yds, .5 ppr

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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

wilson no matter what

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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!

drob

fitz either way

mike

 

[Mene]

2 of Sammy Watkins, Brandon Marshall, or Mike Evans in a PPR?

 

[Captain Crunk]

Morning! Super bowl time for my lone team standing!

.5 PPR

Landry, John Brown, or Snead - my opponent has Brees and I have Palmer

C. West or L. Miller?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Good morning Sigmund,

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

Thank you and Merry Christmas !!

staff

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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?

brees

sorry i missed ya had ertz ahead

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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)

gurley

 

[One]

Brady or Palmer?

Brady @ NYJ (minus Amendola & Edelman)

Palmer at home, vs GB

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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!

i had it 3 WR

murray (sorry i missed ya) hillman

brown (sorry i missed ya)

DGB at flex if you sat brown

 

[snartonick]

I hate Gurley's matchup.

Gurley or Cameron Artis Payne?

 

[ratbast]

Morning Sig, thanks for the extra eyes here....

TD Heavy pick 2:

Hill, Hightower, Abdullah, Gio

Have Hill and HTower in now but Denver and Brees make me nervous

 

[T. Bagger]

Good morning and good luck to you in your game(s) today Sig.

I've had Jameis Winston plugged into my lineup all week after riding Brees all season. With the word this morning that Brees will gut it out against the leaky Jags pass D, should I reconsider that decision? My opponent had Latavius Murray go off against me on Thursday so I'm trailing, but I was probably an underdog even before that. Dr. Jene sounds apprehensive about Brees on Twitter this morning. I'll be listening to the hangout but always interested in your opinion. You basically won me the championship last year, so I usually use you as the tiebreaker.

Also, I have AP and McKinnon. If the game tonight is meaningless to the Vikings, which would you think would be the way to go there? Besides McKinnon, I could also go with Hill or CJ in the Monday night game.

So...Brees or Winston, and if the Vikings have nothing to play for would you go McKinnon, Hill, or CJ?

Thanks for all you do.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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

sorry i missed ya, had it fitz, hope you didnt

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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

i had it the first three, hope you benched him

 

[pantherclub]

James white or CAP?

Pick 3

Aj green, hurns, maclin, landry

. Ask one last time

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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 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

[Sigmund Bloom]

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!

sit hightower

 

[Hamstring]

Start 2 of 3 for the Super Bowl!

Diggs, AJ Green, Boldin

Basic 6 pts per td. 1 pt every 10 yards. No ppr.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

 

[Diamond]

IDP question:

need one DL:

Cliff Avril vs STL

or pickup (for $5):

Olivier Vernon vs IND

Demarcus Lawrence at BUF

Kawann Short at ATL

.5pt/tackle+assists, 3pts/sack,int

Player can also be kept. To me Vernon hottest, Lawrence hot and best keeper, Short best matchup, and Avril has all but disappeared of late, but STL O-line can be had.

 

[JetMaxx]

Standard

Gore or Karlos

3 of AJ, Julio, Cooks, Randle, Sanders, Diggs

Need to swing for the fences because I'm down a good bit in a 17 week total points league.

 

[shleets]

Good Morning Bloom the championship is here standard scoring. Looks ugly but made it this far.

ELI or Tyrod? Otherwise Osweiler, Manzel, or Tannehill are on the WW to pick up and plug in.

Need 1 RB Ivory or Hightower

Need 2 WR Landry, Moncrief, Cooks, John Brown, or Reuben Randle.

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR league.

Now concerned with weather in Buffalo and impact on S. Watkins.

Note: RBs get 1 pt for every 4 yards rushing.

Need one:

* S. Watkins vs DAL

* CAP @ATL

* C. Michael vs STL

* AJ Green @DEN

Thanks

[xpiredcoupon]

Hey Sig, hope you had a merry Christmas. Happy championship week.

Few questions:

4 pt td: Stafford or Rodgers

6 pt td: Jameis or Tyrod

PPR: Powell, Duke, Langford

Half PPR: AJGreen, Aiken, Powell, Hill (Pick 2) and I'm assuming Aiken is a lock if Clausen plays

Non PPR: Hightower, Denard, Charcandrick, DMC, James White, Moncrief (pick 3)

Non PPR: Javorius, Rueben, Hill (pick 1)

PPR: Sproles, Duke, CJA (pick 1)

Thanks Sig!!!

Bump so it doesnt get lost (I started Sproles btw so that one is answered)

 

[pb187]

Qb help: Big Ben or Cam

6pt for Rush TD and 4pt for pass TD, -2 for int

Big Ben at Bal

Cam at ATL

 

[kyoun1e]

Bloom...where the heck are you...championship day!

 

[[icon]]

SIGGY!

PPR looking for a last flex:

JAllen vs stout PIT run Def

AHurns (suicide while already starting AROB & Shoelace?)

Randle taking a large chunk of beckhams targets? Or not?

Powell : does he continue?

I'm struggling here.... Allen has struggled and starting 3 guys from one offense makes me nervous. Bad game will kill me. Leaning Randle but curious for other thoughts.

 

[JasonRay23]

Last one for this year, thanks for all the help!!

Need 2 rbs out of
Buck Allen, Lamar Miller, d rob, Christine Michael, artis-payne

And 1 wr out of
Hurns,Landry,Reuben randle,John brown, moncrieff

Happy new year!

 

[jurrassic]

Bloom, thanks for your help again. Non PPR need to decide on the following

Need 2 rb's from: West, Gurley, Miller, Hightower, Lacy and Michael

Need 2 wr's from: Julio Jones, Baldwin and Michael Floyd

Could also start 1 wr and 3 rb's if you prefer the rb matchups to the wr's

Bump in case missed

 

[Barksdale]

@ RB:

Ivory or Powell

@ WR Need 2 from:

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

PPR

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

powell cmike

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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.

ginn over brown. eh on daniels

 

[az1538]

Gore or Parker in PPR?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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?)

[Sigmund Bloom]

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.

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

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!

murray drob

evans floyd

[5-ish Finkle]

Enough money on the line that I want to vomit over making these decisions....

TE premium/PPR. Have to start three of these:

Sanders

Kelce

Karlos Williams

Tye

Currently going Sanders, Tye, Karlos. Sanders' matchup is bothering me, but think I'm overthinking it. Also hard to trust Kielce of late. Thoughts?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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.

zmiller over tye

mega over hurns

muchas gracias! feliz navidad

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks again, Sig.

PPR league Championship final decisions (slight underdog):

CAP over Ivory?

Lions vs Patriots

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

Happy Holidays!
