gore

landry, but douglas if julio out

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Non-PPR receiving yards worth more than rushing

Starting:

Brees

LeVeon Bell

DeMarco Murry (I have Randle in case he doesn't go)

ODB

Gronk

Need a flex from:

Josh Gordon, Tre Mason, Moncrief, Mike Wallace, Jarvis Landry, Malcom Floyd

I want to start Gordon thinking that he HAS to get something this week. Considering waiting for the late games and see how Gronk, Brees and Bell do and see if I need upside Moncrief (or TY out) or sure carries with Mason (but needs a TD). I am the favorite going in.

Thoughts?

mason

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

If TY out, Moncrief, Jonas Gray or Josh Gordon at flex? Have Demaryius and Dez 0.5ppr

gordon

I need a RB and a Flex out of the below.... Its a .5 PPR league.

Alf Morris

Steven Jackson

Larry Fitz

Jordan Mathews.

sjax matthews

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom,

Is it getting too sneaky to play Kelce over Graham? Also having a hard time deciding between Big Ben and Matt Ryan, and the Pats D or Lions D...

cheers!

too sneaky, big ben

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Really enjoy the podcasts - my first year as a listener and I am hooked!

I need to start 2 of these Wide Receivers - full PPR

Demaryius Thomas @ Bengals - Monday night (I'm definitely starting him)

Brandon LaFell @ Jets - 1 PM - LaFell has been limited in practice this week, Edelman is also Questionable

Kenny Stills home vs. Falcons - 1 PM

Josh Gordon @ Panthers - 1 PM

Donte Moncrief @ Cowboys - 4 PM (if TY Hilton is out - I won't start him if Hilton is active)

The rest of my lineup is:

QB - Alex Smith

RB - DeMarco Murray/Joseph Randle, CJ Anderson (good call on him BTW - thanks for the advice) and Tre Mason - I wll start all 3, wth one as my flex

TE - Delanie Walker

DST - Lions or Ravens (I think I am leaning towards Lions)

K - Dan Bailey

Hi Bloom

0.5 PPR league final. Two quickies:

1. Forte or Mason (given Chicago's QB sitch)

2. Wright or Cameron at TE? I am leaning Wright...

Thanks!

forte

cameron

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Moncrief, charles johnson, or torrey smith

donte

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Bloom: 1/2 point PPR for these Q's

1 Djax or VJax? 2 point bonus for 40+ yard plays (don't have to be TDs)

2 Pick 3: Boldin, Colston, VJax, Andre Johnson

3 DST: Buffalo, SEA, BAL. Std scoring (only points against scoring, Ints, FR, etc, no yardage against scoring)

4 Julius Thomas or Witten

djax

sit ajohnson

SEA

JT

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I have 2 questions.

RG3 or Phillip Rivers

1 of the following:

Matt Forte

Kelvin Benjamin

Jeremy Hill

Gio Bernard

10 points per TD and PPR for over 5 catches.

I expect that I'll be trailing and will need to makeup points. Thanks for doing this all year Sig!

rg3

forte

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

If Hilton sits, I'm tempted to play Montcrief at WR2 over Josh Gordon in my 1pt ppr league. Good move or no? Thanks!

gordon

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Landry or Gordon? I'm leaning towards Landry.

landry ppr gordon non

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need two from Wallace, Bailey and McCoy.

Leaning Bailey/McCoy but Wallace could have a good game and I need upside. Am I overthinking this if I bench McCoy? PPR

sit bailey

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Championship game. 1.0 PPR. I start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 Flex RB/WR/TE

Here's my options:

It looks like D. Murray will play. If so, obviously I start him at RB.

For my other RB do I start J. Hill or FJax?

And for my flex, do I start Douglas (assuming Julio sits), LaFell (my opponent is starting Brady at QB), or Hill/FJax?

Oh yeah, and J. Thomas or Bennett at TE? I'm getting a tingling that Thomas might be productive this week. The whole Clausen thing makes things very uncertain, especially vs Detroit.

fjax

lafell

bennett

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

2 RB, 1 Flex (0.5 PPR)

Joique Bell v CHI
Mark Ingram v ATL
Jeremy Hill v DEN
Josh Gordon v CAR

Scott Chandler v OAK

[Sigmund Bloom]

Saturday players involved...

Need a QB (all TDs = 6 pts, turnovers = minus 2). I'm roughly a 20 pt favorite over my opponent, so I'm thinking I need the higher floor QB?

Rivers

Tannehill

RG3

Orton

rivers

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard league in Finland!

My team:

QB RG3

WR1: OBJ

WR2: Sanders

WR3: KB

RB1: Foster

RB2: Forte

TE: Gronk

flex: JStew

K: Prater

D/st: CAR

Bench:

Gordon

Starks

A.Smith

R.Cooper

E.Royal

H.Nicks

My opponent:

QB: P.Manning

WR1: AJ Green

WR2: Hilton

WR3: Evans

RB1: Morris

RB2: L.Miller

TE: D.Allen

flex: S.Jackson

K: Barth

D/st: DET

Bench:

Sanu

J.Cameron

H.Douglas

Daniel Thomas

Helu

J.Randle.

Based on that matchup and rosters, do I need to make any changes for my starting lineup? RG3 still over Smith? Who has the edge? I feel like I am stuck...as a underdog destined to lose and I feel frustrated.

Other waiver options, RB Alfonso Smith @ SD or WR D Moncrief @ Dal.

I think I should start Lafell, but after that no idea.

I'm normally leaning Gordon and Martellus but qb situations scare me.

Sig,

In my championship with the psychological advantage of my teams avatar being a horse in a Steelers jersey. http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2559911/horsefootball.jpg Having a last man on the victory boat debate.

J. Gordon vs Moncrief vs LaFell vs L.Miller vs J. Randle

I feel Gordon is the highest celling if Johnny Football can put it together and is the potential championship haymaker. How much of the celling am I willing to sacrifice for the higher floor of Moncrief or LaFell. Should I even consider any of the RBs? Slot in Moncrief and swap with Randle if Demarco is a no go?

With you advice my horse will trot to victory!

lafell safe gordon upside

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I am stuck on bad players to choose from. I need 2 between Gordon, Roddy, Jordan Matthews, and Latavius Murray. PPR

white and gordon

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Ppr

Wrs are Antonio, ODB and Julio. Do I start at Julio at super flex or start Sanchez, playing today obviously, at that spot?

And in another super flex league, Sanchez or joique?

[mwcoast1]

Eddie, vereen, hill, asiata - need 3. Wasn't thinking vereen till I saw your edleman tweet.

 

[Vikes1184]

Hi Sigmund,

I made to the finals but was left with a mixed group to choose from due to injuries. 0.5 PPR

RB - Start 1: Asiata (@MIA), A Williams (@STL), or Lat Murray (v Buf)

WR – Start 1: Julio (@NO), Hilton (@DAL), ODB (@STL), Evans (v GB), Gordon (@CAR) and Douglas (@NO)

2 Flex out of the remainder.

Gut says Julio and Hilton will be out tomorrow which makes this tougher, so current thoughts are: Asiata, ODB and flex with Evans and ______.

Williams (@STL)

Lat Murray (v Buf)

Douglas (@NO, assume Julio out)

Gordon (@CAR, but how can you trust him after past few weeks?)

Opponent has A. Luck, so if Hilton is out could grab Moncrief to offset...

Thanks much!

 

[Jvvst3]

Hey Sig,

Need your help in standard league.

Pick 3 WR - Kelvin Benjamin, LaFell, Stills, Vincent Jackson, Harry Douglas, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Jarvis Landry, Donte Moncrief

Pick 1 - Asiata, Crowell, Ivory, Alfonso Smith

Also, who should I flex from WRs above? Or Crowell?

 

[Jeremy]

Andre Johnson or Vincent Jackson. Non PPR

 

[smashblvd]

0.5 PPR. Start Gore tonight or roll the dice with Murray tomorrow?

If I don't start Gore tonight and get cold feet about starting Murray tomorrow, I'll have to start Andre Williams vs. STL.

 

[shleets]

Happy Holidays Bloom.. 1PT PPR need 2 RB 2 WR and 1 Flex.. JBell, JHill, Forte, Demarco, ODB, Evans, Stills, Decker, or Torrey?

 

[toppshelff]

In the final, PPR league

Romo or Ryan - I'm leaning Ryan, should that change if Julio is out?

WR pick 2 - Wallace, Gordon, Crabtree - I'm leaning Wallace Gordon

 

[Courtweeks87]

Standard scoring all tds are 6 pts.

need a qb out of brees, Matty ice

2 rbs-ingram, Anderson starting

2 Wrs odb starting. Need 1wr and a flex out of these.

Jeffery, Moncrief, kben, herron, Stewart, j. Hill.

Also a defense out of panthers or Baltimore

Thanks man i barely snuck in the playoffs last place and somehow am in the Superbowl need some serious help from you!

Merry Christmas! Go cowboys!

 

[thegenerel]

Standard scoring, 1 point bonus @ 100 yds & 2 points for 40+ yard TDs

Currently

RB (2): Ingram, Mason

WR (2): Thomas, Gordon

Flex (1): Hilton

Bench: Lamar Miller, Mike Wallace, Harry Douglas

Initially I thought to bench Gordon and start Miller at flex. Now with Hilton being questionable at best and having a 4pm game, I'm fairly torn. Miller at flex, if Julio is out start Douglas over Gordon?

Also, Lions or Patriots D/ST?

 

[goldenoreos]

Preemptive 'Thanks',

2 questions:

#1: Team Defense....roll with New England (at Jets) or Detroit (at Bears/Clausen)?

#2: RB3 / Flex (PPR).....L.Murray or Vereen? Vereen higher ceiling now w/ Blount and Edelman out?

Good luck in all your leagues!
