Week 6 Questions for Bloom (1 Viewer)

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig, hope you are well

Which DEF, Bengals (at Buffalo) or Panthers (at Seattle)

Standard scoring, need 2:

Alf Morris @ Jets

Woodhead @ Packers

CJA @ Browns

K.Aiken @ Niners

S.Smith (assuming health) @ Niners

K.williams (ditto) v Bengals

One last one - if ODB does NOT go Monday night, is Harris or Randle the play in your opinion?

Thanks!

CIN

woodhead

anderson

randle

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Picked-up Buck Allen and Bradshaw as speculative pick-ups. Worth dropping one for Gillmore? Gates is my only TE.

wait for now

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Please pick one of the following for this week, .5ppr: Spiller, Rawls (if Lynch out) or Abdullah.

Thanks Sig

rawls (if lynch out, which he won't be), AA, rawls (with lynch)

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

I used my #1 waiver claim to pick up West. The Charles owner in my league is offering me J. Graham and Cooks for West. Would you take this deal? I have Foster, L Bell, Sanders, Cobb, Eifert, so all 3 players would be bench depth for me. I'm always intrigued by a 2 for 1. Thanks and love the podcasts.

i would be trading west for current value yes. graham and cooks works

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thoughts on Bortles for DFS? GPP only? Usable in cash?

both

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Just lost Charles and my running backs are Ingram, Randle & Michael, Antonio Andrews, Matt Jones, and Blount. Any hope for me?

sure! ingram is a low 1 and you can find a 1 bw DAL backs and LB

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What can we expect regarding Bradshaw this season. Is he a hold in non-pprs as well? Worth the pick-up? How much value do you see him having this year.

flex value a la say sproles

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

In standard, need to choose 3 from the following: D. Lewis, Freeman, Ingram, and Ivory. I'm leaning on sitting Ingram.

And for WR, need to choose 2 from the following: Moncrief, J Landry, or Allen Hurns. I'm leaning towards sitting Moncrief.

Also, if Luck can't go, who do you like: Tannenhill, Bortles, Cutler, Flacco, Stafford, or Cousins?

Thanks Sig!

sorry i missed this would have had ivory lowest

sit landry in nonPPR

assuming luck will play, all of those guys play before him.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

We've thought Luck would play before, only to be ruled out late. If for some reason it happens again, who do I drop for an emergency QB? If it's a game-time decision, it would have to be Hasselbeck, unless I make a preemptive move.

No-PPR, 2 RB/2 WR/Flex

QB Luck

RB Bell, Freeman, Ellington, Karlos, DeAngelo, C-Mike

WR Evans, Landry, JBrown, Moncrief, LaFell

TE Kelce

K Sturgis

D Green Bay

Other waiver QB's are all playing at 1 PM:

Stafford, Tannehill, Bridgewater, Alex Smith, Fitz, Hoyer, Vick, Manuel

lafell

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

which one in PPR for this week?

Knile Davis vs Minn

Andre Ellington vs Pit

David Johnson vs Pit

Thimas Rawls vs Car

Thanks.

david johnson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

>QB -- Tannehill or T. Taylor?

>Need 1 WR - Smith Sr, G. Tate, S. Diggs

>RB (need one behind Foster) : J. Hill, Woodhead, Rawls, A. Bradshaw

>Pick one flex: --any of above

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

In a short bench league 12-team PPR, can only carry 4 RBs...I know, stupid policy...

Anyway, I have the following:

AP
Woodhead
David Johnson
Abdullah

The WW has a lot of strong RB potential at the moment:

Charles Sims
Thomas Rawls
Bradshaw
Chris Thompson

On the couch, Kessenich was lobbying hard to hang onto Abdullah. It sounded like you kind of agreed with him but the WW show you had Abdullah as a "Shut him down..." In this situation, would you dump Abdullah for any of the guys listed above?


Thanks,

-Eric

wait a week

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Do you expect Beckham to be a go on Monday night?

lean yes, but if i had a viable sunday option and i was favored, i might avoid the drama

 

[DemonDeacons]

Should I trade Gronk for Kelce Amari and Gio? 12 team non ppr.

I have :

Rivers

Gore

Abdullah

Ellington

D Johnson

Sims

C Mike

A Rob

John Brown

Stevie Johnson

Snead

Gronk

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I have Russel Wilson and Cam Newton in a league where pass TD's are 6 points. Just lost Charles for the year. I have Knile Davis, but lost out on West due to waiver order. I've been offered Jeremy Hill for either QB. I'm leaning towards moving Wilson, but I'm not sure what his value is. My other RBs are C.J. Anderson, Duke Johnson, and Ahmad Bradshaw. What are your thoughts?

its really hard to trade QBs, even in a 6 pt per pass TD. would do that deal w your RB problems

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

What do you think of trading A Luck and Gore for A Dalton and E Lacy in re draft league

12 team PPR 1qb/2rb/2wr/1flex

Qb - luck/cutler

Rb - foster/gore/ivory/j hill/d johnson

Wr - OBJ/c johnson/hopkins/a robinson/j brown

Te - eifert

works for me

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bortles or Cutler this week?

Abdullah or Aiken in Flex(non-PPR)?

lean cutler

aiken

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

This trade comes down to two things. What is TY Hilton's ROS outlook with the Luck Injury (or just lack of production)? How big is the gap between TJ Yeldon and Latavius Murray?

I trade away

RB - L. Murray

WR- V. Jackson

for

RB - TJ Yeldon

WR - TY Hilton

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, D. Johnson

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

TE - M. Bennett, J. Thomas

do it

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hello Sig.

Would you trade Arod + Dion Lewis for Palmer + Julio??

Arod

Marshawn, DLewis, Woody, Crowell, D.Johnson (ARI), CMike

DT, DHop, JMatt, Moncrief

Julius

Start 1qb, 2 rb, 2wr, 1 te, 1flex. .5 ppr w/ performance bonuses

i think you need the RB depth more than WR

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Should I buy low on Mike Evans by trading my Jarvis Landry to get Mike Evans in a 12 team, 0.2 PPR league? Start 3 WRs, my WRs are: Jarvis Landry, Keenan Allen, Kendall Wright, and Jamison Crowder.

In a 10 team, 0.5 PPR league, 4 pt passing TD, negative 2 pt interception league, I own Andrew Luck and Eli Manning and the Patriots Defense. Should I start Eli and stick with the Patriots Defense? Or should I start Luck and pick up the Titans or Bengals Defense? Who would I drop to get this new defense: Rawls, CMike, Leonard Hankerson, Brandon Lafell?

yes

luck pats

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig.,..

I have Leveon Bell, Danny Woodhead and Duke Johnson (only 3RB allowed) and I´m evaluating on getting David Johnson from waivers... should I drop Duke or Woodhead for David Johnson?

Tks,

Peter

no

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard League, Willie Snead or John Brown?

6 pt per TD, roll with Stafford this weekend (don't carry a backup QB) or drop Stafford and pickup Bortles, Cutler, Kapernick, Fitzpatrick or Hoyer?

I could also hold Stafford and drop Abdullah, Crowell, Moncrief or JStew....

Thanks!

brown

stafford for bortles

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

I'm in a 14 man league and am 5-0, so I'm looking to prep for playoffs. I have Leveon, Lacy, and Lamar at RB but my roster only lets me start 2 RBs max. At WR I have Dhop but then it drops off to Snead/Hankerson/Lafell. We have to start 3 WR/TE spots and that's about it (I have Olsen there). Do you suggest I move Lamar for a WR like Amari/Maclin tier? I have cuffs for both Leveon and Lacy. Or do you think since there's a chance Lacy doesn't pan out, I should hold onto Lamar? I appreciate your help and love your podcasts!

Best regards,

Alex

hold lamar to see if his value spikes under new HC. if you can get amari/maclin right now thats not bad though

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig!

I posted this question in AC section but wanted to get your take.

Rest of season, who do you like more, Travis Benjamin or Willie Snead and why? Non PPR

benjamin, more TD chances

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

1) PPR league and my lineup is in signature. Someone in "win now" mode offered me Doug Martin for Jordan Matthews straight up. Take the trade?

2) Are you optimistic about Randall Cobb getting back to consistent WR1 production after the bye? Or is scheme/lack of Jordy going to limit him?

3) Time to consider selling high on Woodhead after Gordon got more targets vs PIT?

Thanks man!

i would counter, but im open to it

mostly optimistic

hold woodhead

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, appreciate all the help!

Should I trade Mark Ingram to get Brandon Marshall?

This is a 12 team, 0.2 PPR league. Start: 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST

My roster before the trade: Andrew Luck, Joe Flacco, Mark Ingram, Justin Forsett, Giovani Bernard, Danny Woodhead, David Johnson, Christine Michael, Keenan Allen, Jarvis Landry, Kendall Wright, Jamison Crowder, Steven Hauschka, Bengals D/ST.

Thanks for the help!

id be holding ingram

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Matt Ryan or Drew Brees? 1pt/25 yards, 6pt/TD, -2pt/INT

Julio or DT in .5PPR?

sorry i missed this had ryan julio higher

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Beckham and Monday night! Any concerns? Is Vereen a viable contingency at flex or look elsewhere on Sunday (Gates/Moncrief/Waivers)?

vereen is viable to be a hedge. think beckham is a little more likely to go than not go

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig, my Cubs took care of those dastardly Cardinals for everyone who isn't a BFIB.

.5 PPR; need 1 TE, & 1 FLEX

Duke Johnson vs. Broncos

---

Antonio Gates @ Packers (yes, I have tried trading off one of these, but no good deals yet)

Travis Kelce @ Vikings

---

John Brown @ Steelers

***I started Julio, Brees & Cooks on TNF, so I need upside (facing Eli/Foster/DT/Odell/Eifert; I'm probably already screwed).***

gates and duke

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Assuming you agree i should start moncrief and Julio at my 2wr spots..... Pick 3 to start this week, 0.5 ppr

C west, Hyde, hillman, cj Anderson, Gordon, alshon, Duke.

hyde

duke

anderson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Team is thin this week with bye issues ..

What are we expecting from Davante Adams if he is coming back from the ankle against San Diego - vs a disappointing Torrey Smith facing his old team who have a swiss cheese D.

And any comments on Davante Adams going forward?

not gonna be back. play smith.

adams boom/bust WR3/flex after the bye

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig! Thanks for the "the amazing" rec.

In a TD-scoring league, would you drop Crow for either Flacco (I have Eli and Wilson), Steve Smith Sr. (have Beckham, Evans, and Cooper), or CMike (have Gore, Foster, C. West, Da. Johnson, Rawls, and J. Stewart)?

In the same league, which WR would you pick up off waivers if you absolutely needed a TD this week: Marquess, Randle, R. Matthews, Diggs, Green-Beckham, Aiken, J. Strong, Torrey, Amendola, Baldwin?

Also have to pick a RB2 to start from Crow (assuming I didn't drop him), Gore, Da. Johnson, C. West, or Stewart (again, needing a TD).

Thanks once again!

cmike

wilson (assuming jeffery out, otherwise randle)

gore

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Cam & Dalton

Cobb, AJ Green, Fitzgerald, Moncrief

Doug Martin, Gurley, Ingram, Gio, CJ Anderson, David Johnson

Kelce

C-Mike is available - who do I drop, if anyone?

open to dropping anderson for cmike

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Should I drop Abdullah for C-Mike in ppr?

not yet

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sigmund, need a WR3 and a Flex this week. Options for WR3 and flex are as follows: Greg Olsen, Donte Moncrief, John Brown, Melvin Gordon, Marquess Wilson (we'll know by Sunday morning if Alshon/Royal are playing). Leaning Moncrief and Brown. Who would you roll with? Thanks in advance!

sounds good to me

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Snead, Arob, or moncrieff non ppr?

arob

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

In a deep 12-man pool. Drafted CJ Anderson and Peyton Manning :(

Should I trade Peyton and CJA for Drew Brees and Matt Jones?

sure

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

.5 PPR with bonus for long scores. Got a trade offer of his Mike Evans for my Jordan Matthews. I assume you're still on board the Mike Evans train and this is a good deal?

yes

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Randall Cobb's health, usage, and especially upcoming schedule has me spooked. Should I try to move him for Calvin? Alshon? Sanders? (DT already shot down) My league is very reluctant to trade (12 teams.....only 1 trade so far this season) so may be difficult to get max value.

no

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Non-ppr need a 4th wr for my starting lineup.

My options are :

Dwayne Harris

Danny Amendola

Stefon Diggs

Josh Huff

Mohamed Sanu

Also for a what the heck flex - in non ppr, play Ellington or Buck Allen ?

Thanks for everything you do.

Good luck this weekend.

huff

allen

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Would you drop Matt Jones for Ahmad Bradshaw in a PPR league?

only if jones was my #3

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig,

FPC scoring:

Vernon Davis or "Air" Carrier

pick one of the following: Steve Smith, Jeremy Hill, Ryan Mathews, Cmike (even though he is on a bye).

carrier

hill

 

[kingcoin1]

Hi Bloom!

PPR league, short bench of only 6.. our league never does trades.

RB's are Foster, Forsett, Woodhead, Gore, & Vereen

WR's are A. Brown, Beckham, Snead, & D. Adams

Not much WR depth, but a lot of RB depth. CMike is available. Do I drop Davante Adams for CMike?? Plenty of options on wire later for WRs later... Beasley, Hankerson, etc.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

0.5 ppr

Start 2:

Hankerson

Boldin

Abdullah

Vereen

Bradshaw

boldin

AA

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Fool's Errand:

CJ, Charchandrick West, or I. Crowell? Standard league, RB2 with Gurley on bye. Thanks Sig!

anderson

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hello Sigmund,

Have Luck and Eli. need RB help. Trade Luck for Lynch or CJ Anderson or wait for Lucks value to get better?

lynch only

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

At RB, in .5 ppr I have Yelton, Abdullah, Matt Jones, Duke Johnson. WDIS? or grab Andrews, Denard Robinson, Bradshaw or ??? Michaels is gone as it Allen. I would have to drop one of above or Ty Montgomerie or Stafford/Bortles to get a WW

Right now I have Duke in there

duke

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Edit to add: 12 team Standard scoring league

With Yeldon continuing to sit out would you drop either Matt Jones or Karlos Williams for a one (or more) week Denard Robinson plug-n-play (replacing a Melvin Gordon flex)

Where does Buck Allen fit in that equation as well (if Forsett sits)?

After great early optimism, feels like Jones is stuck in a 3-way quagmire and Karlos just missed his opportunity with Shady coming back, so i'm frustrated with both, but don't want to give up either.

Also, don't know if it affects how you view that decision but next week I may have to drop one of those two anyway or take a 0 at TE (Eifert). I'm seriously considering the 0 rather than give up on them, but not sure. Haven't found trade that works. Any thoughts on that one as well?

thanks

id be open to dropping jones

play allen

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I just dropped Michael. Should I use the #1 waiver on picking him back up in a 10 team league?

depends who else is out there, how thin/fat WW is
