Week 3 Questions For Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Simplysexie]

Sup sig,

Stills or Cobb in .5ppr league ROS?

Thanks

 

[xrayveggin]

Sig, your advice in week 1 was spot on, thanks.

I know you are down on DJ, but he was my first round pick and I've got to sit one of DJ vs CHI, Devin Funchess vs CIN, John Brown vs DEN. There's really good arguments against all three... Any thoughts are appreciated.

 

[Alluro]

Which player has the Greater Dynasty Value (standard scoring)

Nick Chubb

or

Josh Gordon

The Gordon owner is offering him to me for Chubb. I don't really need help at WR or RB. Who would you bet on more in dynasty? 

 

[Twenty-Four Eighty-Four]

Assuming one has plenty of WRs, would you trade WR Marvin Jones for RB Philip Lindsay?

 

[JohnnyU]

Bloom:  Would you play Michel over Fournette regardless whether Fournette plays or not?

 

[LionOfGosforth]

Hello Sig, hope you are well, 2 quick ones

JimmyG (possible shootout) or ride the Fitz train one more time?

Kittle or Graham. Have picked the wrong one both weeks. Could also drop one for Burton who is a FA.

Thanks man

 

[jm192]

Fitzpatrick or Cam?  Standard scoring

 

[kyoun1e]

Need a TE dart through. D. Walker injury killing me early in the season.

Need upside. Projected to lose.

Options (all lousy):

* A. Gates @LAR -- He's been sick. LAR gave up a ton to Cook in week 1. Maybe Gates coming around shape wise and ready to produce??

* A. Hooper vs NO -- Popped last week, but tends to disappear soon after. NO not a great TE matchup.

* I. Thomas vs CINC -- Running a ton of routes. CINCI horrible vs. the TE.

* V. McDonald @TB -- J. James went nuts, but it seems like he and McDonald swap big games. Shootout appeal here.

* T. Eifert @CAR -- Seems to slowly be working in. Sharing snaps with Kroft. Could be due. Healthy.

Who?

Thanks

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR League. Need one WR.

* L. Fitz vs CHI -- touch D, but a little vulnerable in the slot. Can AZ move the ball at all?

or 

* K. Golladay vs NE -- Great matchup. Ascending talent. M. Jones questionable. Stafford will need to throw. A lot.

WHo?

Thanks

 

[kyoun1e]

Bloom...gotta ask about T. Lockett. In my scoring system, you rank him as your #3 WR this week just behind T. Hill, and AB and AHEAD of M. Thomas, Beckham, and Hopkins.

Could you elaborate a little on why you are so high on Lockett this week?

I don't get it. 

Locket's target totals haven't been especially high and it seems like he's getting fluky TDs to save his day. The Dallas D is no joke either.

Very very curious what you see here.

Thanks

 

[thekidd2009]

Bloom,

Thanks for doing this every week.

Rivers vs Rams or Dalton vs Carolina

pick 2 Jordan Howard vs Arizona, James Conner vs Tampa, Gio Bernard vs Carolina

Thoughts on Jordan Howard going forward? I'm not liking Matt Nagy's playcalling in the redzone seems like Howard is going to have less opportunities to score.

Thanks.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom-

0.25 ppr league; need 1 TE and 1 WR...

J Cook vs Ebron vs Burton

Golladay vs K Cole vs Hogan

Cheers!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey sig

Ppr question for rest of the season.

What are your thoughts on antonio callaway, jordan matthews and courtland sutton?

callaway>>>sutton>>>>>>>>Matthews

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi SG, really appreciate all your advice throughout the year(s). 

10 team .75 PPR league. 

I have Conner and Le'Veon. Should I just ride it out? Or look to unload them? And if I'm trying to trade, what would be a good return? 

Many thanks. 

ride it out and ensure PIT RB1 in your lineup ROS

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Flex, standard scoring: John Brown or Sony Michel, this week?

michel

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

STD League looking for a good median/floor at WR since I have Cooks as other WR and decent RBs and TE.

ARob or W Fuller?

Will Eli Apple being out really help Fuller’s opportunity?

Fuller

 

[Mofongo]

Stafford or Matt Ryan this week?

Need two WR in non-ppr out of Cooper, Marvin Jones, Kupp?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

RB: Sony Michel, Clement (assuming Ajayi and Sproles are out), or Dion Lewis? Joe Mixon is down and my other RB is Drake. 

Opponent had Crowell and Landry so I could probably use some upside?

clement assuming active is a little safer in ppr, but for upside, im going with michel vs that lions run D

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom,

In a 12 tm .5 ppr league. Have an empty bench spot and would like a lottery ticket with the highest potential every week upside, in your opinion.

Godwin, Ronald Jones, James Washington, C. Edmonds, Ito Smith, and Tre'quan Smith.

Thanks Sig!

jones

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

It appeared during KC/Pit game that AB had a lower leg injury around the same time he was upset. Any truths/speculation that his short yardage receptions this year is due to a possible injury? He was banged up in camp. Initially when he was a no-show, I also thought he may have been dealing with the injury, but that never came up in any reports.

it wouldn't surprise me. i wouldnt bail on him below market value tho

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Which side of the trade would you lean....10 team PPR Josh Gordon and Jordan Reed or Travis Kelce Geronimo Allison. Ive got Tyreek too so would be playing two Chiefs every week but lots of production to be had in that offense right now.  Thanks!

kelce side

 

[Mofongo]

Non-ppr: Alex Collins or Will Fuller at FLEX?

Non-ppr: Burton or OJ Howard?

Luck or Tannehill/Flacco/Trubisky?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I'm in a 12 team standard league.  Who should I use as my WR3?

Funchess vs Cinn

K. Cole vs Tenn

J. Brown vs Den

Thank you!

lean cole, wont talk you out of brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

12-team PPR, only 1 QB can be played per week with standard scoring. I have A.Luck as my only QB and top 20 QB’s already taken (my league mates love carrying 2-3 QB’s). I have McCaffrey, Thompson, Drake, Breida, Collins & Yeldon. Do I drop Yeldon for Mayfield in hopes for a Mahomes type year or possible future trade bait? Mostly considering because available QBs in my league are thin and Luck is not playing up to his ceiling and getting banged around behind his OL. 

Thanks in advance Sig!

sure

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Kenny Stills got dropped, would you drop Michael Crabtree or Chris Godwin for him? Or is the ball going around too much in MIA to justify picking Stills up?

Thanks in advance!

crabby

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Happy Week 3; the start of overreactions! (Thanks in advance for doing these again, btw). I got a couple for ya and I'll try to be as concise as possible.

Scenerio: 12-team, .5 PPR, Passing TD's = 4pts, 3yr Keeper league (QRRWWTFKD)

My roster:

• QB: Watson
  
• RB: Gurley, Kamara, Collins, Penny, Chubb, Allen
  
• WR: AJ Green, TY Hilton, J. Gordon, Crabtree, Watkins, Callaway
  
• TE: Engram
  
• K: Bailey ,(Zuerlein - will dump, but haven't yet)
  
• DST: MIN
  

Question 1: Obviously, it's silly to carry 2 kickers; even if one is Greg the Leg since he's injured, so who would you add for him:

• Blake Bortles (to have a decent b/u to Watson in case of injury)
  
• Malcom Brown - LAR (looks to be the handcuff for Gurley)
  
• Ito Smith - ATL (does he actually have any value?)
  
• Tre'Quan Smith - NO
  
• Tyler Boyd - CIN
  

Question 2: Would you drop anyone else on my roster for the above FA's? Nah unless QB picked clean other than bortles

Question 3: Do you start Collins, J. Gordon, or Crabtree?

Scenerio 2: 12-team, .5 PPR, All TD's = 6pts, Redraft league (QRRWWTFKD)

My Roster (Starters bolded):

• QB: Rivers
  
• RB: Barclay, Lynch, Burkhead, K. Johnson, Penny
  
• WR: Allen, Cooks, Gordon, Watkins, Cobb
  
• TE: Gronk
  
• K: Gano
  
• DST: HOU
  

Question 1: WDIS @ RB2:

• L̶.̶ ̶M̶u̶r̶r̶a̶y̶ ̶v̶s̶.̶ ̶B̶U̶F̶ (Currently a FA - already scooped up)
  
• Lynch @ MIA
  
• K. Johnson vs. NE
  
• Burkhead @ DET
  

 

[Captain Crunk]

Hey Sig-

Luck or Wentz?  

1 pt PPR -

My team is suffering from injuries and I having to dig deep in my 2 flex league.

Buck, Wilkins, Kerryon, Fitz, C Davis, Ridley, Geronimo - Pick 4 but I need one RB.

Thanks!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Am I sticking with Alex Smith or should I move on (best available is Bortles)? 

smith is playing ok but IND D was on fire last week. i would add bortles and play him this week, drop smith, but be willing to go back to smith later

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks Bloom:

Standard

QB - Big Ben at TB or Stafford vs NE

Pick 2 _Need one RB AND one Flex:

Collins, Clement, Lindsay, Agholor, M. Williams

check inactives for clement, if out, then linsday

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

SENOR ESQUONDOLES!

How do you feel about holding 2 QBs in a league that rosters 17? I drafted Mahomes ? and his bye isn’t until week 12. I could drop Yeldon for the likes of Bortles, Tannehill or Flacco. 

Or maybe drop Yeldon for the Packers DST next week? (Or hold Browns @ OAK?)

Also, are you trading Fitzgerald in PPR for whatever you can get or holding and counting on volume/garbage time (Rosen time)?

Also, are you dropping Tyrod in Dynasty Superflex? Maybe he gets traded or latches on somewhere else next year?

Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul! Good luck this weekend!

if D/ST scoring high, yeldon for GB, but im fine with CLE too. i dont think you can get much for fitz right now

drop tyrod depends for who

wash your feet they drive me to a frenzy

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig, this one is doing my head in this week. Non ppr. I’m starting Conner at one RB spot, and Adams and Diggs at my two WR spots. Sat Hyde last night. I need two players from the following for an RB spot and flex spot 

Gio Bernard 

David Johnson 

Alex Collins 

Corey Clement ( if Ajayi sits ) 

Brandin Cooks 

I think I’ve had every single one of them in my lineup at some point in the last two days. 

Big Ben/Conner/RB2/Adams/Diggs/Flex/Reed/K/Bears

I’d  consider myself a favourite for this matchup going against 

Newton/AP/McCaffrey/Hogan/Kupp/Gronk/Watkins/K/Browns

Thanks

gio and DJ

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Jordan Wilkins (as long as Mack is held out) or Kerryon Johnson?

wilkins in nonppr, johnson in ppr. johnson for ceiling, wilkins for floor

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

fitzpatrick at pitt or watson vs nyg.  6 pt passing touchdown with 2 pt bonuses for 40 yard touchdowns.

fitzpatrick but wont talk you out of watson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig!... 4 leagues;

QB; Wilson or Ryan

2QBs; Newton / Watson / Garoppolo

[Sigmund Bloom]

[Sigmund Bloom]

14 Team Dynasty ...No PPR .. Standard Scoring .. all TD's

Starters are:

Mahomes/DavidJohnson/Hopkins/KAllen/Thielen/Kelce/Tucker/Denver

Do you bench any of them for Clement if Ajayi and Sproles are out?

Thanks!

nope

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Clement vs ind

Or

Miller vs nyg

clement

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

thanks Sig. It’s a 1/2 pt. PPR, 2 WRs, 2RBs, and a FLEX. I have Hunt, Fournette, J. White, Cooks, JuJu, and K. Cole. Any ideas?

sit white

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Question on Peyton Barber: Would you drop him understanding my RB depth (deep) and WR depth (shallow)?

* RBs: T. Gurley, J. Howard, J. Conner, A. Collins (J. Williams, A. Jones, P. Barber).

* WRs: N. Agholor, J. Brown, T. Lockett, J. Gordon

Of particular interest on the wire are the following I could drop for Barber:

* OJ Howard: I have Gronk, but would be good insurance and possibly a flex play.

* A. Dalton: I have Stafford and he has a tough matchup @DAL next week followed by a bye week.

* GB D: Faces BUF next week. Yahtzee.

I've tried to trade Barber but nobody's biting. Could hang on and hope for an outburst vs. PIT but not confident his value will increase significantly.

Hold? Or Drop for other?

Thanks

id wait one more week

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig!

In s standard league, do I go with Stills, Cole, Collins, or Henry in my flex spot. I bring up Henry because he did well against the Jags last year.  

As always, thanks. 

collins

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR League. Need three from this group:

* L. Murray vs BUF -- D. Cook hasn't practiced all week and MN has a Thursday game. Gotta think even if active, Cook could take a backseat in a cake matchup.

* M. Lynch @MIA -- Saving his days with TD plunges. OAK could keep the game close even. Long trip east worrisome.

* R. Burkhead @DET -- DET rush D awful, but  who knows if S. Michel or Burkhead get the touches.

* L. Fitzgerald vs CHI -- Bad matchup, Bad offense. But all experts continue to rank him highly. Ceiling would seem low.

* K. Golladay vs NE -- This seems like the one no brainer. Stafford is going to need to throw and NE D banged up.

* T. Lockett vs DAL -- Has been getting TDs, but not a ton of looks. Not sure that can continue. DAL secondary pretty good. (As an aside, you seem much higher on Lockett vs. pretty much everyone else).

Which Three?
 

Thanks

wont talk you out of lynch over lockett

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig full ppr need 2 rb 2 wr and a flex

wrs: tyreek, hilton, juju, agholor

rbs: fournette,gordon,clement,latavius murray

also drop trey burton to pick up ben watson or austin hooper this week? Te is very thin.

hold burton

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Three either/or questions:

0.5 PPR (12 teams): Watkins or Golladay in Flex spot?
0.5 PPR (12 teams): Ebron or OJ Howard at TE
0 PPR, bonuses for TDs (10 teams): Alex Collins or Marshawn Lynch at Flex spot?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig,

For my FLEX, half ppr, John Brown, Cobb, Garcon or Jesse James? Thanks!

wont talk you out of brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

A less time-consuming one for you:-

Cole vs Ten or J Brown vs Den

non-ppr 

thanks!

wont talk you out of brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1 PPR.   Screwed by Thursday night.  Was planning on Starting Dalvin Cook.   I had Hyde and Crowell on my bench.  With Cook now ruled out, I'm down to either Chase Edmonds, Jaylen Richard or Corey Grant as an RB2. David Johnson is my RB1.  

grant and pray

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What’s up bloom....which tightens should I start in 1pt ppr: Jared cook, ebron, or ASJ?

thanks

ebron, wont talk you out of cook

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Here I go again. Last week we got it wrong.

Stafford or Jimmy G?

Also, in non-PPR

Ebron or Jimmy Graham?

Fournette or Latavius Murray?

jimmy's play was worrisome last week, he has the better matchup and higher ceiling i suppose, but i feel better going with stafford

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

No kidding, last night I had a dream that you and I were playing Techmo Bowl II, you were the Bills and were mopping the floor with me with Thurman Thomas. On my Mama, I have a winning streak that goes back to the 90's. Granted, I stopped playing for about 20 years but sometimes buddies come by and they want to step up. Anyways, my question is could you please keep out of my subconsciousness? 

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
