Week 4 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

First time in here. I cant believe 95% of the questions are WDIS. Look at Bloom's damn weekly rankings if you want an answer.

some of the people in here aren't subscribers i suspect? i am using this as a proxy for the sun AM rush on twitter bc they will throw me in twitter jail if i answer everything there

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Better bench stash - CMike or ZZ?

cmike

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Just looked at your week 4 on tiers article for qbs and didn't see Jameis Winston listed. Not that I foresee starting him much as I have Matt Ryan and Drew Brees, but was curious as to what your thoughts on him are.

Thanks.

sorry about that boom/bust QB2

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Short bench, so I don't back up QB/TE/K/D. If Luck can't go, who do I drop for an emergency fill-in? Or do you think a Stafford/Winston/Alex Smith/Fitzpatrick type is a better choice even if a dinged up Luck does play?

Start 2RB/2WR/Flex, no-PPR

QB - Luck

RB - Ellington, Freeman, Karlos, Crowell, C-Mike [CAN'T DROP: LeVeon/DeWill)

WR - Evans, Landry, John Brown, Moncrief

TE - Kelce

K - Bailey

D - Green Bay

Really don't want to drop anyone if I won't play the backup QB, so I'll wait to last minute. Would it be crazy to take a 0 at kicker and drop Bailey instead of a bench RB/WR? (Defense scores much higher than K in this league.)

If it matters, I'm already up 22-4 with one Thursday player vs. two (LeVeon vs Smiff/Maxx).

Also, regardless if Luck plays, does that impact whether I want to start Moncrief? Thanks! This is freaking me out!

drop crow, flex karlos/freeman, whichever isnt your RB2

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig -- If Lynch doesn't see the field, what would your projections be for Rawls? I see some enthusiasm for him in your replies.

something like 20-88-.8 1-5-0

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Trade question!

I'm 1-2 (thanks Frank Gore!) in a PPR league and already planning for the week 9 byes (wouldn't with a better record).

I have Charles, Foster and David Johnson with w9 byes, my other RBs are Gore, Woodhead and Yeldon. Gore and Yeldon will face good/great defenses that week.

I was offered Chris Ivory for Donte Moncrief. My current WRs are: A Brown, John Brown, Cobb, Amari Cooper, Moncrief and DeVante Parker. So that would leave me with 5 WRs and 7 RBs in a 1QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 6 bench league, not really what I wanted. Take it?

I'm also in conversations with Latavius Murray owner for a trade involving Gore + Moncrief (he's selling DeMarco Murray, but I think Latavius is better now). That would open a spot for a WR from the ww. Thoughts?

Sorry about the wall of text, decisions are hard!

murray deal is much better

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

12 team shallow bench ppr trade question:

I give up Ingram and Allen Robinson for Mike Evans and Gio? Have Demaryous and the below at WR and Gore, Rashad Jennings and Dunbar at RB.

Also, flex ppr question:

John Brown, Stevie Johnson, Dunbar or Percy? Nervous about Luck (Bortles is my alternate), so I am looking for upside.

Mahalo!

yes

brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Would you give up M Bryant to get Evans? You were really high on Bryant until Ben went down.

yup

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig hope all is well.

Do I roll with Luck this week or pick up Carr? - would have to drop DMartin to do so.

Also, if Foster plays - need to sit one Foster, Woodhead, Moncrief. PPR.

Thanks!

sit foster just in case

if luck is out you do what you gotta do

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I drafted Brady and Palmer in a standard PPR. After Brady's bye this week, I don't see a reason to waste a spot on Palmer, aside from keeping him off a contending roster.

What types of guys, realistically, would you target 1 for 1 at RB/WR?

QBs are hard to trade. maybe a WR3 like decker/stevie or RB2 like yeldon

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Brees or E. Manning? No bonus' or anything just regular scoring.

eli

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I need to pick up a tight end with Delanie Walker on bye this week. This is a 12 team, 0.2 PPR, redraft league.

Available tight ends: LaDarious Green (vs. Cle), Jared Cook (@ Ari), Richard Rodgers (@ SF), Larry Donnell (@ Buf), Owen Daniels (vs Min), Dwayne Allen (vs. Jax)

In a 10 team, redraft, 0.5 PPR league where I am 0-3 and an underdog (playing against a solid team with Cam & Olsen), who should I start at RB2?

Danny Woodhead (vs. Cle), Shane Vereen (@ Buf), or take the gamble and start Thomas Rawls (vs. Det) hoping Lynch doesn't play?

In the same 0.5 PPR league, who should I play at my flex?

Percy Harvin or John Brown?

rodgers

rawls

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig

No question here.

Just thanks.

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig. 12 team redraft ppr: I drafted Romo & Newton as my QB's. Romo hurt and I am holding on to him. When I go to get my week 5 replacement qb for Newton, do I drop Crowell or CMike? Other RB's are Abdullah, DionLewis, Gurley, Sproles. Not dropping my wr's (Antonio Brown, Hilton, Hopkins, John Brown). Thanks for your service! Appreciate your advice. Likey dropping Crow and holding CMike.That's the right move, correct?

thats right

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Two questions for 10 team standard.

If Andrew Luck cant go. Who do you start from the following:

Fitzpatrick, stafford, bortles, bridgewater, hasselback, foles, alex smith, winston, cousins, or kapernick?

All vomit options.

Also, if Ivory's snaps are going to be limited do you start jordan reed, j landry, or ryan matthews as flex instead?

Thanks Sig

staff

tight lean reed as crazy as that sounds

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

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.

rivers

 

[JoeSteeler]

Jonathan Stewart or Brandon Coleman in PPR?

thanks

[Mofongo]

DeAngelo Williams droppable if not a Bell owner?

[catsnbengals]

Hey Sigmund,

Have a lot of options at the flex spot in my standard league:

Rawls, Ellington, Woodhead, S Johnson, B Cooks, P Dorsett, and B Powell

I've elected to put John Brown in the WR2 slot given it sounds like he is good to play.

What do you think?

Much appreciated!

 

[DP Football]

Need a Flex, 14-team standard league - Ryan Mathews or Marvin Jones? Thanks.

Hey Sigmund - appreciate all the advice you and your team does.

.5 PPR, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 WR/TE, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB, WR, TE), 1 K and 1 DEF lineup. For the flex spot, would you choose to start Chris Ivory, John Brown, or Rishard Mathews?

Thanks very much!

 

[Kuz]

Would you start Jordan Matthews,Jarvis Landry or Tyler Eifert as WR3 in Non-PPR.

Thanks for all of your work here.

 

[lungotevere]

I have a deal in to acquire Karlos Williams and Tyler Eiffert for Greg Olsen and the Texans D.

My current team (12 teamer, non-PPR):

Eli/Tyrod
Hill/JStew/Dion/Foster/Rawls
Julio/Fitz/Cooks/Marvin Jones
Olsen
[SIZE=12.8px]HOU D, IND D[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]McManus[/SIZE]

I guess my question is, am I overvaluing Karlos' potential to take this full job down the road, mortgaging an elite playoff TE for a RB who might be doing 8 carries in week 14 for his short term boost to my team and potential to stud it up if McCoy continues to be nicked? Or, is Eiffert closer than I think to Olsen for full season value? I like the fact that Olsen is the WR1 in that offense, whereas Eiffert's floor has more to do with the diverse options for Cinci.

IF Hill rebounds and Foster resumes healthy play, I may not actually need the extra RB. But, those two things over the course of a season are far from sure things, too...

 

[starks]

Thanks in advance Sig.

Half point PPR, I did great on Thursday so I have a cushion, looking for lowest floor I guess just pick one RB please....

J Randal vs @ Saints

Jeremy Hill vs KC

Gio Bernard vs KC

Demarco Murray @ Wash

Todd Gurley @ AZ-

also Mike Evans or Amari Cooper?

 

[squid046]

1pt ppr league

Flex: Gore or Moncrief?

 

[kyoun1e]

0.5 PPR.

If there's a question with Foster at 1....pick one:

* A. Foster @ATL

* Marvin. Jones vs KC

* A. Abdullah @SEA

* T. Rawls vs DET

With Abdullah and Rawls I could just wait until Monday night and choose between these two if the Foster situation looks iffy.

 

[2stix]

Ol' school TD league

un proven cooks with an unproven Brees Back

[BIGT]

Hey Bloom,

With Luck out how far do Hilton and Moncrief drop???

WR3/Flex?

Thanks

 

[TheNextDon]

Morning Sig!

Need an RB2, 0.5PPR: Risk it on Foster or B. Powell?

 

[Polish Hammer]

Sig, pick one to start at Flex in PPR - Crowell, Robert Woods, Matt Jones

In PPR, curious why you have Mike Wallace over Marvin Jones and Crabtree...KC and CHI give up tons to WRs this year and DEN has been stingy.

Better 1-hour match: Flair vs. Steamboat (Clash of the Champions best 2 of 3 match) or Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart?

 

[ajgargano]

With Luck out, Moncrief or Rawls in .5 PPR?

I have no backup plan for Rawls if Lynch is active besides an emergency pickup of Riddick or Zenner.

 

[Rory10304]

Good morning!

With Luck out - Hilton or Rueben Randle? (Non-PPR)

Coby Fleener or Ladarius Green?

Also, need 1 of these - J Hill, J Stew, CJ Anderson.

Thanks!
