Week 4 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[cubbie5150]

Can't make up my mind which QB...

Scoring: 6 pts/any TD; 1 pt/25 yds; -2 pts/INT

Phillip Rivers vs. Browns (massive o-line issue; maybe McCoy runs 35+ times vs bad run D)

Drew Brees vs, Cowboys

I'm in what appears to be a pretty even match-up this week; I am also starting Cooks.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sammy Watkins got dropped in my league (short bench). Upside worth dropping VJax for him? Non PPR, I have Cobb, Moncrief, and a pending trade for Landry (can start as few as 1 WR).

i would hold off

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Forsett or Miller? PPR.

ROS Forsett

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What's your standard league dynasty take on C Mike, and Rawls?

Both have strong RB2/even low RB1 upside. Rawls is on track to be the heir in seattle. Michael could seize Dallas backfield this year, could be on bryce brown track. we'll see

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR. Start 2rb, 3wr, 1te, 1 r/w/t flex.

WR: DThomas, OBJ, ACooper, DGB, DParker, NAgholor,

RB: MForte, LMcCoy, AFoster, MIngram, DMartin, DSproles, CMichael

TE: (sigh) MWilliams, AGates

Michael Floyd is sitting on the waiver wire. I am waffling but have pretty much decided to make a claim dropping either DMartin or DSproles.

Which of the 2 would you drop? Or would you not make the waiver claim at all?

i would drop agholor if its not dynasty

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR Dynasty

Trade Alshon Jeffery for John Brown and DGB?

i might give it a go yes

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I got a few opinions I'm interested in:

Lamar Miller - Is it him, the situation, or a combination of both?

Steve Smith rest of season, WR1/2/3?

Same for Keenan Allen

Calvin Johnson - What do you expect from him for this season? Any chance he just packs it in if the Lions are as bad as they look?

Dion Lewis - PPR RB1 rest of season?

situation

WR2/WR3

WR2

low WR1/high WR2

yes

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Roster std scoring non ppr

Start qb, 2rb 3wr te

Cam, kap

Gore, forte, Lewis, Freeman

Julio, OBJ. J brown, torey Smith, Britt

M Bennett

What caliber wr should i expect in a trade if I am trading devonte Freeman? Is moncrief enough to trade Freeman? I personally think Coleman is better back so not sure if I should sell high on Freeman

would want more than moncrief. its freeman's job if he keeps this up. coleman would still get 8-15 touches a game, but freeman's value would be very stable

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

This is a dynasty league and I'm stacked at WR, but I need some help. Pick 3. Julio, AJG, DT, ODB and Fitz.

sit thomas

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

In one league (nonPPR), I am thin at WR and strong at RB (plus I have Gronk).

I have at RB: Arian Foster, Jeremy Hill, Karlos Williams, Alfred Morris, Matt Jones, Duke Johnson.

At WR: Dez Bryant, John Brown, Stevie Johnson, Vincent Jackson, DeSean Jackson.

1) Should I flip one of my RBs for a WR? What level WR would Karlos or Jones get me?

2) Is there any value to Duke Johnson?

foster for a WR1

jones for a WR3/Flex

johnson in nonPPR is not looking great

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

10Tm .5 PPR

My lineup for Week 4:

QB- Andrew Luck

QB- Carson Palmer

WR- Demaryius Thomas

WR- Mike Evans

RB- Chris Ivory

RB- Danny Woodhead

TE- Charles Clay

FLEX- Donte Moncrief

FLEX- John Brown

K-

DEF-

B- Dion Lewis, Andre Ellington, Lamar Miller, David Johnson, Christine Michael, Thomas Rawls, Bilal Powell, Ronnie Hillman

Right now planning to cut Hillman and Powell for my K and DEF for the week. But now there's news that Luck's injury is more serious than initially thought and he might not play. If I have to cut a third guy for a desperation QB (Winston, Fitzpatrick, etc.), who do I say goodbye to? Rawls?

david johnson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Would you trade Ellington for Karlos Williams in a PPR?

yup

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I own Matt Ryan and T. Taylor. I am currently undefeated and looking to move Taylor for Big Ben, I am just looking ahead to the stretch run, Is this a smart move, considering the offensive juggernaut Pitts offense was before Ben went down?

like it

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I got a few opinions I'm interested in:

Lamar Miller - Is it him, the situation, or a combination of both?

Steve Smith rest of season, WR1/2/3?

Same for Keenan Allen

Calvin Johnson - What do you expect from him for this season? Any chance he just packs it in if the Lions are as bad as they look?

Dion Lewis - PPR RB1 rest of season?

Also, Vick looked mediocre - Is this game what we can expect from Brown for the next month?

if he hadnt dropped that TD, we would have been fine w his game

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need 2 out of the following non ppr

John brown

Mike Evans

Moncrief

Allen robinson

stevie johnson

Also luck or carr?

evans

brown

luck if active

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Who is a better bye week QB fill in, Bradford or Weeden?

bradford but theyre my 27 and 28 ranked Qbs...

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard scoring and I need to start two out of these three guys.

Vincent Jackson, Marvin Jones and/or Percy Harvin.

I also have Ted Ginn riding pine atm.

Leaving towards Jones and Harvin.

id sit vjax

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom...love your stuff and what you do on the site.

How do you see the weather for the Phi-Was game effecting Reed's ranking/production?

still top 10 this week in any scenario. would only swap out for another good option, not WW fodder

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Would you trade either Rishard or JThomas straight up for Matt Jones?

if you need RB help, sure

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

PPR league. Start Woodhead or Bernard?

Same league. Start James Jones or Moncrief?

woodhead jones

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig!

Got a question regarding a trade in a Standard scoring league that starts 2 rb, 2 wr, and 1 flex.

Giving: Frank Gore, Jordan Matthews and James Jones

Getting: Dion Lewis, Calvin Johnson, Marvin Jones

the rest of my rbs are: leveon, woodhead, blount, crowell, powell

the rest of my wrs are: deandre hopkins, stevie johnson, mike wallace

lean the lewis side but its super close. think calvin delta from matthews biggest gap

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

hey bloom,

was checking out the 10-second primer this week for one of my teams and noticed your rankings had Spiller over Vereen on one of my PPR teams

so you think the Saints will finally take the training wheels off Spiller this week? just interested in any comments you have about these two RBs this week for PPR

thanks!

moved vereen in PPR ahead on the chance he'll get slot snaps too

your cat died

 

[pghrob]

Go Bloom go! Thanks for putting in this time on your Saturday night.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Non ppr

Start 2 te's from Cameron, L Green, D Allen and Barnidge?

Also, drop KDavis or K Robinson for Zenner?

Thanks as always and good luck this weekend.

ugh cameron and barnidge unless green is active

davis

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need 2 from Chris Ivory, Frank Gore, Devanta Freeman, Ryan Mathews. Standard scoring with bonusesvat 20 carries or 5 recepts. Leaning Gore and Ivory but not sure.

freeman gore

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Need 1 RB to go with Peterson in non-ppr league

Ivory (early am)

Foster (noon)

Abdullah (MNF)

Foster is supposedly going to be a game time decision, so do I just go with Ivory if he's active or hope that Foster can go knowing I have Abdullah as a fallback option? I should be a solid favorite this week, especially with Antonio Brown only getting my opponent 4 points.

AA

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Is it time yet to drop stevie or spiller in ppr for cmike sig? Also david johnson and matt jones availavlble on the waivers. Add any of those?

would drop spiller for cmike or johnson if he doesnt go off this week

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Do you trade for Dez even with Jets Bills week 15/16? give up Stevie/JamesJones, what about giving Nuk?

1PPR

if you're 3-0 i can see dealing for him. not worried about the matchups bc he's your WR2 or 3 if you're trading for him.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig

Am fascinated with CMike upside like you. In a standard non-ppr league that starts 2 RB 2 WR and 1 RB/WR/TE Flex Have

Ben, Rivers, Vick

Bell, Gore, David J, Duke, Spiller, Sproles, Abdullah

Cobb, J Brown, Stevie, Decker

Rudolph

Would you drop one this week for CMike?

Or wait and drop Vick next week? Panic move, I just dropped CMike for Vick this week. (This league holds onto QB's with a death grip - 12 team league - 27 Rostered). What you think?

PS Tough loss for your Steelers. Cant be too upset with Tomlin, nice to see a coach with some stones. Scobee wasnt exactly instilling confidence.

Thanks for the help as always

Ron

i would drop duke for him

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig

Another league. The guy with Calvin is 0-3 and looking for backs. Was sniffing at Foster. I was reluctant and looking to counter. Wondering what your thoughts are. This is 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR 1 TE Standard Non PPR league. Here's my roster

Rivers

Foster, Gore, Karlos, McCoy, CJA, Duke, CMike

Edelmen, J Brown, Stevie, Decker

Kelce, Reed

Would you do Foster for Calvin? How about McCoy for him? (He actually just proposed that) - I'm 1-2 by the way

hold in nonppr

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

FPC scoring

I need 3 of the following:

R.Randle @ Buff

J.Kearse vs Det

aa over randle and hill

rawls over hyde

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard scoring would you drop Hillman or Woodhead to pick up Rawls or Blue? I don't own Lynch or Foster, just looking for a decent 1 week flex play. Also Cam @ Bucs or Palmer v Rams?

Thanks!

hillman

cam - my #2 and #3 QBs this wk

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig,

Full-point PPR.

1) Would you have any problem benching Allen Robinson as a flex for Robocop (now that it looks like he'll play)? I am going against the Andrew Luck owner.

2) I've been streaming QBs to little success. I was just offered Carson from a team that needs WR help. I own ODB, Jordan Matthews, Allen Robinson, Donte Moncrief and Martavis Bryant. Would you flip a WR for Carson or continue to stream?

Thanks so much. I appreciate the advice!

leave robinson in, dont trust allen in first week back

just as long as its not ODB

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thoughts on Rawls in dynasty? Worth trading a high pick for? How risky is it to think of him as Lynch's replacement?

trade a 2nd easy

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

I am wrestling with some lineup decisions...

Pick 3 RBs: Foster, Gurley, Gordon, Abdullah, Matt Jones

For WRs: do I start Agholor (one last time!) or pick up Allen Hurns, Tedd Ginn, Ty Montgomery, Roddy White, Leonard Hankerson. I'm almost thinking maybe dropping Agholor for Ty Montgomery might make sense.

It's a dynasty league so I'm trying to factor in an eye toward the future and not only win now. Though I want to win! I'm 1-2 so far and likely headed to 1-3 this week.

Thank you!

AA gordon Foster (jones if foster inactive)

drop white for hurns, start hurns

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR flex - Ivory, Woodhead or Garcon?

woodhead

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Another week another RB question for you.

What is your opinion of Oakland RB Taiwan Jones?

He's listed as the primary backup to Latavius Murray but has an interesting background in that the Raiders switched him to CB and only this year switched him back to RB. In my league he's designated as a CB/RB so if he gets any sort of playing time I could reap a windfall but I am curious what your take is on Tai's RB ability?

very interested in him long term, charles/CJ2k type at EWU, and they like him. wonder if reece wouldnt get first call if murray goes down tho

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

10 team PPR, would you trade TY and Ellington for Mike Evans? I have ABrown, Landry, DGB, Start 2WR, 1 flex

12 team PPR auction, start 3 WR 1flex. JBrown, Moncrief, Landry, Dez, DGB, Aghloor. Would you package any of the two for Evans? Would you include Dez or hold on to Dez?

i think so if RB is deep

i wouldnt deal 2 of the first 4, but 1 of them and 1 of the last 2. im fine with it being dez

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

0-3 and need to make a move. 12 team 1 keeper redraft, start 2RB, 2WR, 1 WR/TE flex..

Trying to trade for Foster. Would Gore and Cooks seal the deal?

My other RB are Abdullah, David Johnson and Dion Lewis.

WR are Cobb, Evans, Moncrief.

TE Rudolph/Gates/Walker

sure, but would aim higher at WR if not PPR

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig - After the Schefter tweet re: Luck's not playing and possible shoulder issues, I made the trade of Luck and Woodhead in exchange for Rivers and Abdullah. Am I crazy? Please opine. I keep hearing you and Waldman in the pre season in my head. And now that Joique Bell may be re injured, I went for it. Thoughts?

i get it. could work ,but not excited about rivers

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks in advance for your help.

Standard league. Who do I start? Melvin Gordon vs Cleveland, or Devonta Freeman vs Houston? Have Karlos Williams starting in my other RB spot.

I like Gordon's matchup better, but Freeman seems to be ranked higher.

edit: Just read that the Chargers O-line might be sitting 4 of 5?

freeman. edit is key

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Pick 1 running back and 1 flex.

PPR

ivory vs phins j.hill vs chiefs yeldon vs colts Crabtree vs bears Ginn vs Bucs

hill yeldon

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig, FFPC league please pick one RB to go with Woodhead: Powell, Hill, Crowell, Martin or Simms.

Flex: either of the remaining RBs or Britt or Fleener?

TIA!

hill

fleener if luck is playing, otherwise powell

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hello Sig -- TD-heavy league --

Need to pick one (assuming no Foster) of Crowell, David Johnson, Stewart, M Jones, Rawls. Also need to pick between A Cooper and Mike Evans. And Eli or Wilson.

Thanks!

rawls evans wilson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Good morning Sig - thanks for your service!

Choose one for the WR/RB Flex in Full PPR (listed in the order I am leaning):

• CJ Spiller v DAL
• Lance Dunbar @ NO(I think it's between these two)
  
• Golden Tate @ SEA
• Ameer Abdullah @ SEA(normally start them at WR & Flex)
  
• Matt Jones v PHI
• David Johnson v STL(holding)
  

Thanks in advance.

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks again Sig!
