Week 5 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Bluefire]

Got offered Mike Evans for Gurley in a PPR. Have Dion Lewis, Ivory, Ellington, Gurley at RB. A.J. Green, Antonio Brown, Cooks, Moncrief, Tavon Austin at WR.

Either way, Evans/Gurley is likely my flex. Who do you like better for the rest of the year? I'm thinking stick with Gurley - better upside, but what do you think?

Thanks and hello from Pflugerville!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hello Sig. Confusing RB call this week.. need to pick two in a TD-heavy league: Foster, Gore, Crow, Duke Johnson, David Johnson. In the same league, two from Beckham, Cooper, Evans. And one from Eli, Russell, Cutler.

Appreciate the second opinion since it's unconventional scoring, and that you answer each/every query in turn. Also was wondering, based on your previous mentions of music, have you heard Dungen, and their newest?

Thanks!

foster gore beck evans russell

never listened to dungen looks cool. have you ever heard of a supergroup called "the amazing"?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I can trade Brees for either Moncrief or Roethlisberger. Which should I do?

This is my team (1QB league, standard):

QB (start 1): Dalton, Brees, Eli

RB (start 2): Bell, Ivory, Martin, Mathews, Michael

WR (start 3): Julio, Maclin, Marshall, Martavis

TE (start 1): Eifert

brees for moncrief

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Trade Ivory / K Wright for Lynch / Moncrief?

.5 ppr

High risk, but thats why the price is low right now.

lean no

[Ladsud]

gore yeldon duke aj evans

maybe freeman and woodhead to start?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom, quick question before TNF, non-PPR: John Brown, TY Hilton, Moncrief for the WR2 spot?

TIA. Feel like Brown has to make a splash at some point, and the Lions D could be good for that. Nervous with TY on the road @ Houston w/a recovering Hasselbeck.

Thanks!

brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

FFPC: Pick Two Flexes: James Jones, Jon Brown or Mike Evans

Thanks for your time!!!!

sit brown

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Here are my teams (starters in bold). Would you make any change in the lineups?

Team 1 (non-ppr 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1RB/WR)

Dalton vs SEA, Roethlisberger

Ingram @PHI, Yeldon @TB, Randle vs NE, Abdullah vs ARI, Peterson, Miller

DT @OAK, Fitzgerald @DET, K Allen vs PIT, Bryant @SD, Moncrief @HOU

Dalton will face Seattle defense and Buffalo defense in the next 2 weeks. He will be on bye in week 7. I don't think Ben Roethlisberger will be back in week 7. So, should I drop Dalton for Eli Manning (vs SF, @PHI, vs DAL, @NO)?

Team 2 (non-ppr 2RB, 2WR, 1RB/WR)

Le'Veon Bell @SD, Gore @HOU, Foster vs IND, Andre Ellington @DET, D Williams

TY Hilton @HOU, Robinson @TB, Decker, Landry, Moncrief @HOU

Team 3 (non-ppr 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1RB/WR)

Cutler @KC, Luck @HOU

Foster vs IND, Abdullah vs ARI, Duke Johnson Jr., Ivory, Miller

AJ Green vs SEA, Hopkins vs IND, John Brown @DET, Robinson @TB, Bryant @SD, Landry

Team 4 (non-ppr 1RB, 1WR, 1RB/WR, 1WR/TE)

Gore @HOU, Blount @DAL, Andre Ellington @DET, Stewart

Antonio Brown @SD, John Brown @DET, Allen Hurns @TB

Charles Clay @TEN, Martellus Bennett @KC

Team 5 (ppr 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1RB/WR/TE, 1TE)

Cutler @KC, Brees @PHI, Tannehill

Le'Veon Bell @SD, Jeremy Hill vs SEA, Carlos Hyde vs NYG, Thomas Rawls @CIN, Riddick vs ARI, Sims vs JAC, Blue vs IND, Mason @GB

Cooks @PHI, Jeffery @KC, Robinson @TB, Lockett @CIN, Tate vs ARI, Crowder @ATL, Bryant @SD, Wallace

Rodgers vs STL, Ebron vs ARI, Julius Thomas @TB, Walford vs DEN

Thanks, Sig!

yes eli

duke over AA tm 3

crowder over lockett team 5

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Should I trade Luck and DeMarco Murray for Dion Lewis and Dez Bryant?

yes

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig,

Would you pickup Benjamin in a PPR, no return yardage league and drop Allen Robinson or John Brown. Can only carry 5 WRs and already have Antonio Brown, Cooper, and Moncrief.

Thanks,

Erich

oof. no. i hate position limits

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

10 team ppr, underdog this week. Need some help picking RB2, WR2 and Flex. Really struggling with what to do about Antonio Brown. Hate the matchup and Vick at QB, but it is Antonio Brown. Am I crazy to think about sitting him in a week where I need high ceiling guys?

QB: Eli Manning

RB: Mark Ingram

RB: Joseph Randle, Chris Thompson, David Johnson, Ameer Abdullah, or WW Anthony Dixon if he starts (leaning Thompson)

WR: Larry Fitzgerald

WR: Antonio Brown (bad matchup and Vick), Calvin Johnson (bad matchup), Jeremy Maclin, Allen Robinson or Mike Wallace (leaning Brown)

Flex: Pick from above (leaning Maclin)

TE: Charles Clay

TD: Green Bay

Thanks in advance.

thompson

maclin

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Bloom:

Fleener or Ladarius Green?

Need 3 of these: Gore, Hill, CJ Anderson, Yeldon.

Thanks!

[Sigmund Bloom]

1 Point PPR, pick three flex please:

J. Matthews vs NO

VJax vs JAX

Duke Johnson @ BAL

T. Eifert vs SEA

J. Brown @ DET

D. Moncrief @ HOU

T. Yeldon @ TB

brown

vjax

duke

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Is Brian Quick going to be valuable this year? Seems like he should be doing something by week 12.

nope

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Moncreif or Hurns as a 1 pt ppr flex?

hurns

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

.25 ppr for wr only.

Pick 2:

CJ Anderson

M. Bryant

J. Mathews

matthews

anderson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What have you heard on LaFell and what's your gut on him going forward once he hits the field?

NOTHING.

not sure he'll be nearly as productive as last year w gronk and edelman and lewis looking so good

 

[rovert22]

Should I sit Moncrief tonight? Other WRs I could start are vjax, hurns or Bryant.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Both leagues are ppr = 1

I have crowder, spiller, Ellington and hankeson for 2 spots.

I think crowder is a good start in ppr this week. Trufant on garcon. Reed out. Overthinking?

Pick 2 please.

On this one I have Gates/Lynch/woodhead for 2 spots.

Pits very bad against TEs. And with Stevie and malcom out, I think he has great chances to have a big game.

Would you still go with woodhead and Lynch?

Thxxx sig!

crowder and hank

woodhead and lynch if active

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I trade away

RB - L. Murray

WR - James Jones

WR - Andre Johnson

for

RB - TJ Yeldon

WR - TY Hilton

WR - J. Brown (AZ)

Here is my team

No PPR. 10 team league. Start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, K, DEF. No flex.

QB - A. Rodgers

RB - A. Peterson, L. Murray, L. McCoy, D. Woodhead, CJ Spiller, C. Michael

WR - J. Jones, V. Jackson, N. Angholor, Snead, Aiken

TE - M. Bennett

works for me

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Pick 2 RB PPR -1 PT per reception

Lacy Foster Gurley Lewis Woodhead and Duke Johnson. Yes I do have these RB's

I got Foster and Lacy

yep. maybe try to do a 2 for 1 for bell, gronk, or julio

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Got offered Mike Evans for Gurley in a PPR. Have Dion Lewis, Ivory, Ellington, Gurley at RB. A.J. Green, Antonio Brown, Cooks, Moncrief, Tavon Austin at WR.

Either way, Evans/Gurley is likely my flex. Who do you like better for the rest of the year? I'm thinking stick with Gurley - better upside, but what do you think?

Thanks and hello from Pflugerville!

hey enjoy the extended summer! lean evans

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Since your hanging out, thoughts on Hilton or Travis Benjamin this week?

benj

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Should I sit Moncrief tonight? Other WRs I could start are vjax, hurns or Bryant.

monc over bryant

 

[timbrah_ho]

Since I've got your attention

1) Better PPR flex value the rest of the way: Duke Johnson or Charles Clay?

2) If Karlos misses another game does it start reducing his potential to take substantial workload from Shady or do you still see a path towards high production rest of season?

3) You still all aboard the Christine Michael bandwagon for this season?

 

[bizeast]

What do you think of Jimmy Graham + Forsett for M. Lynch? 0.5 ppr, RBs hurting (have CJA, D. Lewis) Will SEA ever get Graham the kind of production to justify not upgrading Forsett for Lynch? Is Forsett even an upgrade?

Have D. Lewis/Blount AND CJA/Ronnie Hillman. Am I really starting Dion+Blount over any of the broncos rbs?

 

[johhnyturbo]

Would you drop Rawls, Woodhead or Duke for Lamar Miller, D Martin or K Williams. PPR? If yes, which and which. And could you rank ROS?? Thank you as always!

 

[texansfan80]

blOOm boom

You expect Moncrief to get back to WR2 status with Luck ?

Would you drop Moncrief for Martavis Bryant?

Pick 1 RB standard scoring ROTW: Duke J, Ronnie Hillman, Christine M, Tevin Coleman, David Johnson. If one sticks out drastically give me a wink after your selection.

Pick 3 for week 5 standard: AJ Green, Antonio Brown, Latavius Murray, James Jones, Duke Johnson

Boo YA!! You rock

 

[beerbuff]

And

Rawls or Hill for flex? Non ppr

Thanks again!

 

[bdschenk75]

My WR2 is a bit of a mess. 2-2 and need help Standard scoring league my WRs are:

Fitz

VJax

G. Tate

D. Adams

Have several WRs on the wire that are potentially interesting:

DJax

Garcon

Hurns

Crabtree

Hankerson

Randle

T. Austin

Snead

2 Questions:

1. For this week, who do I start besides Fitz (of my players or WW options).

2. I can pick up to 2 off the wire, and would only have to drop one of mine. Which to pick up ROY? If you think I should pick up 2 from that list, which 1 on my roster should I drop?

 

[GangGreen81]

What's your outlook on Marquess Wilson this week considering Jeffrey and Royal are questionable against a leaky Chiefs secondary?

 

[ß .]

Boobie Dixon or Ronnie Hillman at flex this week?

 

[mega_rob]

Start Cutler, A. Smith, Foles, Stafford, Vick or J. McCown?

 

[Lionz will turn it around!]

Hey Bloom,

1 QB in std league only 3pts per pass TD: Mariota, T. Taylor or Bradford (which one is best option until Big Ben and Romo comes back...yes I had them both)?

1 RB in std league: Hyde, Dixon, Hilman, Rawls, Jennings? Have Ivory on bye, K.Williams hurt, and starting Lewis.

THx!
