Week 6 Questions for Bloom (2 Viewers)

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hello! Thanks for all you do Sig!

12 team PPR, dropped Bennett too early and lost him and been struggling at TE. Have Brate and Jesse James. 

WRs (start 3) are Evans, Cooks, Thomas, John Brown, Enunwa, Tyrell. 

Have an offer to trade Cooks for Jimmy Graham. What say you? TIA

works for me

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Bloom!  I'm playing the first place team & rival this week.  Need to win!

Full PPR, I need to sit one:

Graham (great matchup, weather?)

Bennett (ankle?)

Landry (3 catches last week? Trust qb?)

Baldwin (weather an issue?)

Also NE D or Philly D?  Thanks for all you do!

NE D

id sit bennett

Crowell, Pryor, Floyd, Enuwa or Coleman at flex?

Hoyer, Mariota or Prescott at qb?  (I know rough week)

Thanks again

Happy Week 6 Sig!

Think I only have 1 for you this week (stealing @Mooks formatting – wanna give credit where credit is due) :

Scenerio: 12-team, .5PPR, short (5-man) bench

Rostered (bye weeks in parentheses):

• QB: Stafford (10), Bortles (5)
  
• RB: Zeke Elliot (7), Ingram (5), A. Foster (8), Ware (5), Jennings (8), Jacquizz (6)
  
• WR: Landry (8), M. Jones (10), Fuller (9)
  
• TE: Miller (9)
  

Free Agents: Dion Lewis, Powell, Corey Coleman, John Brown, D. Parker, C. Hogan, Green-Beckham

Dilemma: I know I’m light at WR, but I have Jacquizz Rodgers who I’m not sold on and can flip for one of the above FA lottery tickets. Who do you think would be the best of the above ROS?

brown or hogan, lean brown

Thanks in advance for the consultation 1-4, struggling here, our 6th playoff spot goes to highest points of bottom 7, so I still have a shot but debating selling out for picks if I go 1-5:

12 team .5 ppr keeper league, we start: 1QB - 2RB - 3WR - TE - Flex(RB/WR/TE) - DST - K

Current Roster:

QB: Luck

RBs: McCoy, Gurley, Cmike, Booker, Henry, Dwayne Washington

WRs: Beckham, Marvin, Snead, Lockett

TE: Kelce

DST: Eagles, KC, Steelers

1. Lineup questions:

QB this week: Would you roll with Luck @ Texans or stream Alex Smith @ Oak or Mariota v Browns in much easier matchups? Ultimately I may want a backup QB anyway and Luck's injury risk is a factor, also, I'm playing the TY Hilton owner next week (WK7), worried Luck will be neutered in that game given TYs his only target, so either Smith or Mariota both would be in easy matchups this week and next.

DST this week: if Jordan Reed is out, Start Eagles DST over Steelers? Or go Steelers DST at Miami? Steelers defense isn't good so I'm worried streaming them. Eagles D has been great and with Reed out, Cousins could melt down, thoughts?

2. Trade questions:

A. Would you offer any of my depth RBs for Rawls (Booker, Henry, Dwayne Washington) in case Cmike loses the job, splits or for handcuffing? If so, which?

B. Would you offer Gurley/Luck for Cam/Edelman/Tyrell Williams or for Cam/Alshon/Tyrell Williams to upgrade QB and build WR depth for BYE weeks? Luck makes me nervous, Gurley too.

C. Generally, do you think my above roster is strong enough and I've just had bad luck or should I look to make deals here?

3. Waivers (thanks for your waiver report by the way, best in the biz):

Which of the below WRs would you add for ROS use and byes:

Perriman, Robby Anderson, Chris Conley, Green-Beckham, Humphries, Cordarelle Patterson, Eli Rogers

HUGELY APPRECIATED, if I drop to 1-5 I think I'm going to sell out for draft picks.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

.5 ppr

2wr, 2rb,  1te, 1 w/r/t

Antonio Brown, Brandon Marshall, Jordy Nelson, Larry Fitzgerald, Terrell Pryor

Greg Olsen, Jimmy Graham

Thanks so much.

PPR League.

Need a FLex.

* Gio @NE -- Hill banged up, could leave game early. Could be a Gio game playing catchup.

* S. Ware @OAK -- Could be a shootout and enough touches to go around for both Ware and JC. Charles being "sprinkled in" could mean plenty of touches for Ware.

Which?

Thanks much.

 

[CentralPA]

good win now trade. might prefer green for long haul, but if you have 3 strong keepers beside him even better

Thank you Sig!

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR League.

Understanding the lineup below, who do you think makes the best add out there in free agency?

Current Roster:

* RBs: Zeke, J. Howard, J. Hill, Gio, S. Ware, D. Williams

* WRs: M. Jones, E. Royal, Tyrell Williams, P. Dorsett

Note: Lineups flexible. Can start 3RBs/2WRs, 2RB/2RB, 1RB/4WR.

Available:

* A. Morris (RB) -- No brainer since I have Zeke?

* K. Dixon (RB) -- Lotto ticket

* W. Smallwood (RB) -- Lotto

* J. Richard (RB) -- Lotto

* D. Lewis (RB) -- Lotto

* C. Meredith (WR) -- I'm weak at WR, but since I can start 3 RBs, not as concerned as most.

Thanks!

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Hey Bloom...thanks as always.

Standard scoring...

Start one out of these RBs with question marks:

• Dwayne Washington - Practiced Friday (to what extent?) and Riddick may be out, but can he be counted on?
  
• Rashad Jennings - Thumb injury out of the way?
  
• Kenneth Dixon - Will he even get the ball much?
  

Thanks!

 

[cjsemerad]

With news of D.Lewis getting healthier, worth rostering over one of these guys in a PPR: 

R.Jennings, Ware, K.Dixon, J.Rodgers

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig!

standard with 5 for 100 yards: 

davnte Parker, Sammy Coates or Micheal Thomas? Pick one. Also have Jeffrey as a starter. Would you sit him for any of these three?

as always, thanks!

thomas in, leave jeffery in

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sup Sig, 

12tm .5 ppr league:

Lockett or moncrief ROS? Or stash both and drop M.Floyd? 

Thanks

both and drop floyd

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Are Steve Smith/John Brown worth holding ROS (as flex play) versus waiver players like Hogan, Mike Thomas, J Stewart, D Lewis, Sproles?  Considering upside.  Any other possible season changers to look for that might be there?

brown/smith over lewis/sproles

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Sig,

Thanks so much for the way you do what you do. 

Who's got the higher floor and ceiling between Hogan and Floyd this week?

hogan both

 

[Arnold. S]

Hey Sig,

1)  Half PPR, can only stash 2 out 4.  Which 2?

Smallwood

Derrick Henry

Dwayne Washington

Dion Lewis

2)  Need to pick 1, half PPR.  Just lost Riddick, Fuller, and probably Coates..

Forsett

Michael Thomas,

or Coates if he is active?

thank you

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Gio, Ware, or Meredith

Full point PPR flex position

gio

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Really screwed at RB in PPR leagie this week. Which of Payne, Booker, DWill or Dixon would you start? I could also grab Washington (Det) or Richard off WW & play 1 of them.

washington

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Ten team standard 

QB: streaming tyrod

rb: starting Leveon Bell and C-mike

wr: Allen Robinson ty hilton

flex: have Cobb in currently but on bench (Coates, Maclin, moncrief, booker, henry, McKinnon, Michael Thomas (Saints) and Powell who I'm dropping for a K.

te: graham

whose best flex play? Trying to trade for either Doug Martin or Jamaal Charles to maybe hammer out roster. What is best combo you think? Considering a package of Graham, Cobb and McKinnon for either Martin and Charles and their te. But trying to give fair value. 

Would you trade TY and a player for either back or TY straight up?

Thanks again Sig. loved Waldman on the couch

id sit tight with what you have. maybe a lowball offer for martin, but not with graham in it

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

ROS 

Coates, Meredith, or Micahel Thomas?

thomas

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

In a 12 team .5 PPR, who do you like ROS?

John Brown

Chis Hogan

Z Miller

prefer to upgrade TE, but if you lose WW priority then not yet this week

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard Scoring, should I trade away Blount for J Charles and D Williams? I own Bell, Zeek, C Michaels, A Morris and Booker.

i like it

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Scenerio: 10-team, .5PPR

Rostered:

• QB: Brees
  
• RB: Ingram, J. Charles, Ware, Bernard, L. Murray, Dixon, 
  
• WR: Julio, Jordy, Pryor, Snead, Ty Williams
  
• TE: Rudolph
  

Dilemma: was offered a trade of: L. Miller for Jordy

While i'm tempted to accept this trade, does it leave me too thin at WR?

i wouldnt do it

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Thanks for all your help.  In ten team standard, have a few questions:

Who do you like as for 2rbs and one flex out of : Terrance West, J Howard, Tevin Coleman, Jamal Charles, and Rashard Jennings?

For TE with Reed out, do you like Jesse James or Pitta?

For WR3, Fuller or Quincy Enenwa? 

Thanks,

Jason

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hello Sig,

I am in a ppr start 1qb 2 rb 2wr 1 flex

Current roster

Qb: Rivers

Rb: CJ Anderson, I Crowell, Gore, Booker

Wr: OBJ, Arob, T Benjamin, Coates, Mar Floyd, Moncrief

Te: Olsen, Eifert, J Thomas

I have 2 separate trade offers

Offer 1: I give Gore and Eifert for Mckinnon and J Crowder

Offer 2: I give Gore and T Benjamin for Doug Martin

Should I accept one of those trades or hold with gore? 

like the martin deal

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Odd question here because of scoring rules.

TD only scoring...yes, those still exist and its actually a pretty fun league.  The other odd scoring...we have a "no double scoring" rule.  Meaning, if you have a QB and WR or RB...you get points for one player and not the other.  In my case, I have Rodgers and Jordy (I usually avoid even drafting that way...but Jordy fell too far and it was a sort of keep away pick from other owners).

So...QB I have Rodgers and Derek Carr

WR...I can play 2 of these in a TD scoring.  Nelson, Beckham, Fitz and Cooks.  Already eliminated Cooks from consideration.  And Im going to keep rolling with Fitz as long as I can.

Do I dare bench Beckham for Nelson given Nelson scores every week?  Easy, right?

Well, in doing so, it would then make more sense to bench Rodgers for Carr?  Or go with both Jordy and Rodgers and just eat the 4 points any time Rodgers throws it to Nelson.  I guess you hope Carr throws 2 or 3...and Rodgers does the same but 1 or 2 are to Nelson and I come out better starting Jordy and Carr.

Yes...long and confusing.  

Right now Ive gone with Rodgers, and Beckham.

But tempted with the hot streak to go with Jordy and Carr.

rodgers and beckham

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Thanks for your week to week advice and feedback.

WDIS:

Question #1

Brees v Carr (leaning Brees @ home) 

4 pts TD passing 6 rushing TD, 1 pt/25 yds passing goes to 2 pts/25 at 200 yds with a bonus @ 300

Question #2

Pick 2:

Ivory (healthy and coming off a bye), Deandre Wash (assuming Latavius is still out), Ryan Mathews (gets goal line) or Ware (Jamal Charles factor) 

6 pts TD, 1 pt/10 yds rushing 1 pt/10 yds receiving, bonus at 100 yds rush or receiving and PPR

Thank You.

[Sigmund Bloom]

sorry i missed ya had cj lowest

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Trying to make a decision around either picking up a defense for this week vs. picking up a WR who could be an upgrade this week and down the line.

On the D question, I currently have the LAR @DET on the roster. Not a great matchup and there would appear to be some injuries. I could drop LAR for one of these options:

* NYG vs BAL

* DET vs LAR

* CHI vs JAX

The other option is to just stand pat with LAR D because I'm not sure there is a significant difference to be gained at the position. If I were to stand pat I could upgrade my WR position which has been decimated by injuries. Outside of Marving Jones, I have E. Royal, T. Williams, and P. Dorsett. So what I could do instead is pick up C. Meredith who could be an upgrade over Royal in my #2 WR spot this week and help down the line.

So, drop LAR D for one of the listed Ds? And if yes, which?

Or, stand pat with LAR D this week and pick up C. Meredith?

Thanks.

Hi Sig.  Thanks in advance

Should I pull the trigger on this trade offered to me:  CHARLES and JACKSON for GORDON and HOGAN.

Couple questions Bloom, both are PPR leagues:

One, I have to sit one of the following players: Gio Bernard at NE, Gore at HOU, Jordy v DAL, Alshon v JAX, Snead v CAR or John Brown v NYJ. Which of the 6 do you sit down?

Secondly in another PPR league I have to start one of Crowell or Jalen Richard, who would you start there?

And finally, I can start Dez (if healthy), Terrance Williams (if Dez doesn't play), Kenny Britt, Davante Adams or Golden Tate? Which of those undesirable options do you go with?

Thanks as always Sig!
