Week 7 Questions For Bloom (2 Viewers)

[Sigmund Bloom]

This is more of a general question, but what to do with Austin Ekeler?  Is he a hold?  I feel nervous about playing him with Pouncey gone and Melvin splitting touches.  I'm sure there are a lot of us in this same predicament right now.  Thanks, as always!

hold unless it is for a priority pickup like singletary. edmonds vs ekeler is close. henderson vs ekeler is close if ekeler is your RB4 or RB5

Hello Sig,

Total points league that's unusual in that it goes all the way through the Super Bowl. So if you grab a free agent today on an NFL team that makes the playoffs (e.g. Jacoby Brissett?) you get fantasy points for their playoff games, and it'll do you better in the long run than grabbing a similar free agent that doesn't make the playoffs (e.g. Garner Minshew). One QB per team. 

Knowing that, how do you rank the following 3? Josh Allen, Jacoby Brissett and Matthew Stafford. 

Thank you

allen brissett stafford

.25ppr

* my Mahomes gave me 10pts before his injury. 
Need some pts to make up for it . Thanks for your thoughts below...

—WR pick 2:
Edelman at NYJ
TY Hilton vs Hou
Fuller at Ind
Diggs at Det
Gallup vs Phl
A.Cooper vs Phl ( less than 100%)

—Flex pick 1: 
WR above not picked, M.Gordon at Tn or Josh Jacobs at GB.

—Like to drop 2 WR to ww, which 2? ugh dont want to drop more than one
Fuller 
Diggs 
Gallup 

—Due to Mahomes injury which 1 or 2 QB to aim for:
Josh Allen1, Sam Darnold2, Jameis Winston, Minshew, Mayfield ??

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

thanks in advance!

10 team, standard, 1 keeper, IDP starting QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/Flex/LB/DB/DL, 8 bench spots.

1. Should I trade Russ Wilson + Hunter Henry (or Engram) for Todd Gurley?? I keep going back and forth for me, since I picked up Henderson and I can roll with Murray rest of year and I don't really believe in Gurley lasting 10 more weeks and getting better/healthier at the same time.  NO

2. I also need to drop one person for a LB this week with Devin Bush on bye... assuming I can't swing a 2/1 trade (no dice so far), who do I drop for a LB? Bush (ugh), Henderson (Gurley looks like he will play), Fuller, or Mattison? I would try and pick Mattison/Henderson back up again next week when FAAB runs again but my league looooves running backs. Right now I'm leaning Fuller since he will likely never start for me and there are some players on the WW I can look at next week (Pettis, Edwards, Hill). 

QB - Wilson, Murray

RB - Cook, Jones, Ingram, McCoy, Mattison, Henderson

WR - Hopkins, Evans, Fitzgerald, Fuller, Green (inj)

TE - Engram, Henry

LB - Bush

DB - Peppers (streaming)

DL/EDR - Hunter

Currently 6-0, so I'd even be ok just standing pat this week with a zero at LB and seeing what happens. 

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig-

.5 PPR  - pick 3 out of Alshon, Latavius, Boyd, and Edelman.

Diggs or Coleman?

Pick 3 - Boyd, Fitz, Cooks, Breida, and James White? 

Goedert or Fells?

Thanks!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Having to stream at QB. 10 team but most guys have 2 so waivers aren’t deep. Right now I have Minshew and Winston. Would you drop 1 or both for any of Brissett, Cousins, Rudolph(stash for next week vs Mia), Cam, Darnold or Baker? Thanks

winston for cam, try to get darnold for minshew next week

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sup sig 

Need 2RBs, 1WR, 1 Flex in .5ppr league from:

Sony Mixon Lat Murray Dev Singletary edmounds

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

in a standard league, I need two: Gallup, Thelian, Fuller, and Fitz 

in a PPR league, I need to pick two of these three rb’s: Ekeler, Ingram and Edmonds. 
 

thx!

 

[JoeyJoJoJuniorShabadoo]

Hi Bloom, please help me choose an RB2 and flex from this bunch

David Montgomery

Frank Gore

David Singletary

John Brown

Calvin Ridley

0.5 PPR, 1 pt per 10 yards. 2 pt bonus after 100 and 150 yards

 

[DarkKnightsGuru]

Hi Bloom major decision looming here

Tds 10 points 

Receptions 1 point 

1 point for every 10 yards total 

Amari Cooper expected to play vs Philly 

Mack vs Houston 

Auden Tate vs Jax I believe 

Who do you roll with 

Do I roll the dice on Amari or play it safe with these other guys 

 

[Nate Cousineau]

Full ppr. Byes have me in a bad spot. Need to start a wr and flex. Pick two:

Adam Humphries, Darrell Henderson, Jakobi Meyers, Nyheim Hines, and/or Keke Coutee. 

I'm currently projected to lose by about 5 points, so need a balance of risk/reward. 

Thanks! 

 

[OnTheReg]

Brady or Rodgers? 1 pt every 20 yards passing, 6 points all TDs, 3 point bonus at 300 yards.

 

[Da Man]

Sig who would you start?

ppr marlon Mack or Golden Tate

thanks

 

[Goooals]

Morning Bloom,

Tough week with half my team on a bye.  Need to play 4 of these 5 WR's. Standard scoring, non-ppr league.   

Looks like Cooper should play otherwise I just need to play/sit him or Anderson as the safe play.  The other matchups not favorable which is why I am struggling:

Cooper vs PHI - Reports now say he is playing

Anderson vs NE - Best passing Def in the league

McLaurin vs SF - 2nd best passing Def in the league and a bad weather game

Boyd vs JAC - 

Robinson vs NO - Probably will be matched up against Latimore.

See what I mean?

As always, thanks for the advice

 

[onthevirg]

.5 ppr

Need one

Chris Carson

John Brown

Edelman

Thanks!

 

[Jayded]

Flex, Half PPR:

Mohamed Sanu vs LAR

Chase Edmonds at NYG

TE, PPR:

Mark Andrews at SEA

Darren Waller at GB

 

[Workhorse]

0.5 PPR: McLaurin or Golden Tate?

 

[Polish Hammer]

Just traded away Zeke in my main league, but still have Pollard. Should I: 

1. Keep Pollard. 

2. Cut Pollard and pick up the Jets D to pair with my Pats D for the rest of the season. 

 

[Barksdale]

0.5 PPR FLEX: Waller, Singletary, or Miles Sanders

 

[miqws]

Hi Sig -

dynasty trade question, I am trying to get Chase Edmonds.  10 team league, super flex, 0.5 PPR, 2 RB, 3 WR, W/R/T.  Got offered Chase and Alshon for Marquise Brown and Dallas Goedert.  I am willing to overpay as I have DJ, Kamara is out, Amari ?, Watkins out, and at 6-0 willing to punt some youth.  Too pricey?  I have Engram, Njoku, Gesicki and Parris, Hakeem, Isabella, and Dionte Johnson so plenty of young depth.

Thx - M.

 

[Tusken Raider]

Terrible outings for me on Thursday between Lindsey & Hardman.

I need to start 3 the following (1-PPR):

T.Coleman, L.Murray, T.Lockett, J.Brown, Mike Williams

(D.Henderson & D.Montgomery also on bench)

Thanks.

 

[3nOut]

Start Chase Edmonds or Latavious Murray? DJ is playing but opponent is easier. Murray vs. Bears. Flex position. .5 PPR.

 

[dkp993]

Sig-  I have 2 banged up WR’s in my PPR to choose from...  Dede Westbrook or Cooper?  Thx!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

.5 PPR.  I’m a touchdown favorite this week.  Need a flex:

MVS if active

Duke Johnson @ Ind

Beasley vs Mia

Also do we queue the Chuck D and drop Malcom Brown?  Not a Gurley owner.  I need some WR depth.  Which should I pickup and stash?

Demaryius Thomas

N. Harry

Zay Jones

Diontae Johnson

Duke Williams

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Standard scoring, horrible mish-mash of WR flex options, need 3:

Chark, Tyler Boyd, Gallup, Lazard

Kittle or Andrews?

Cousins or Rivers?

Thanks!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

hi sig, too many injuries and byes, need your advice in a cpl of leagues.

league 1: 6pt pass td, start Wilson or Jackson?

league 2: ppr, 

pick 1rb out of the following to start: Bolden, Bernard, Smallwood, Gus Edwards, prosise, Walton. I lean Bolden, but Smallwood is better in PPR?

league 3: ppr

pick 2WRs out of the following:

corey Davis/Agholor/kumerow/p williams/Parker/Goodwin/Snead(if brown out?)/Byrd/a miller/Amendola/renfrow/jaron brown/ginn/stills

league 4: ppr scoring again,

My bench filled with CMC, kamara, t-will, green

I need upside on one of my rb and a flex spot to fight an uphill battle (35 pts deficit by projection). Currently I plan to start chase Edmund and Alex mattison. But I also have fells on my bench. And I can pick the following player from FA: ginn, d Thomas, snead (if Hollywood brown out?) , Anthony Miller, Amendola, Byrd, renflow, Goodwin, Duke williams, kumerow, David Moore, Jaron brown, Goedert, ebron,bolden, Bernard, penny, I Smith, prosise, Lewis, Smallwood 

Sorry I gave such a long list. Ppr league, do I stick to Edmund and mattison as two starter? yes

many tks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig--super desperate TE question. PPR format. 

Luke Wilson or Josh oliver 

willson today but oliver ROS

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Tough call for me this week, Sig.

Start 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 FL

Tyreek played last night, and I can’t bench Chris Carson or Tyler Lockett. 

that leaves me 1 WR & 1 RB, + 1 flex to find 3 spots for 4, maybe 5 players.

Which combo do you start of 

L.Murray vs CHI

Singletary Vs MIA

Amari Cooper Vs PHI Also have Austin as a “just in case” if he’s a late scratch) 

Lazard at Oakland

Edmonds (Only if David Johnson is out) 

the bolded are who I’ve current got in my lineup. concerned about another early exit or decoy usage for AC. 
 

I’d prefer a healthy AC over Lazard, but prefer Lazard over Austin. Ugh 

i appreciate your help, thanks in advance. 
 

ive got edmonds over singletary but its a coin flip. a little uncertainty about his workload in first game back

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

ive got edmonds over singletary but its a coin flip. a little uncertainty about his workload in first game back

Edmonds even if DJ is active? (Which reportedly is the case) 

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

Thanks for all you do for the FF community.  You've helped me to many championships!

First question: is it time to drop Damien Williams?

Second: I'm lucky enough to have Wilson and Jackson as my QBs but I'm a little weak at RB with Gurley/Ekeler/Royce/Murray/Henderson.  

I was offered Winston/Fournette and my choice of Kirk/Olsen/M. Jones or Dorsett

for

Lamar/Gurley/Boyd

I'd be left with Hill/Lockett/Gallup/Pettis/Hardman.

I know I have to trade Lamar or Russell to improve another position but I feel like I'm giving up too much.

Thoughts?

drop damien sure

thats too much yes. need a clear material upgrade, not sure about fournette vs gurley is that big enough?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Murray or Bell in a non PPR

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom, Injuries are killing me, desperate for help.

12 team league, 1 PPR, standard scoring

T. Williams ruled out, MVS and C. Kirk are questionable. Should I drop T. Williams, for WW help, I need a 3rd WR.  I'm reading Williams might be out for an extended time period. I don't really have any other options to drop. 

Pick the best WW WR to pickup for week 7:  Kenny Stills;  Taylor Gabriel;  Jaron Brown

Mahomes is my starting QB, I have Dalton as my backup.  Should I play Dalton or pickup Bridgewater;  Carr;  Allen;  R. Fitzpatrivck or Moore

Pick 1 Flex:  D.Henderson @ Atl;  D. Knox vs Mia;  K. Stills @ Ind

Pick 1 Flex:  J. White @ NYJ;  Witten vs Phi;  Edmonds @ NYG;  L. Murray @ Chi;  D. Henderson @ Atl

Thanks! 

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Wentz or Cousins?

 

[Avery]

.5 PPR

MVS or Allison given they are both active? 

... or Singletary? 

 

[Wrigley]

Non ppr 

Edmonds or AP?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1 ppr. WR need 1 J. Meyers, D. Slayton, Agholor , Zay Jones, or Ryan Grant

5 ppr. Flex Pettis or A. Tate

.5 ppr.  TE-knox , Goddert, Ben Watson

Thanks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

TE wasteland so who should I start in PPR?

Watson, Hollister, Akins, Gesicki or Ebron?

 

[DorkSide]

drop damien sure

thats too much yes. need a clear material upgrade, not sure about fournette vs gurley is that big enough?

You are the best Sig. Thanks!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig, start two and drop two in full ppr:

-duke williams, Marquise Goodwin,  chase Edmonds, AJ Brown, Malcolm brown, MVS. (drop malcolm, goodwin)

-Or pick up DT and drop two of the others. U guys have DT ranked highest but he gonna do anything at 31 vs tough Pats corners? 

im leaning starting duke williams (Waldman’s guy) and either Marquise Goodwin or dropping Goodwin! SF gotta get air game going don’t they?

I can wait for the 1pm game to end to see how Gurley looks and if he survives game then I guess I can feel better moving on or keeping Brown and also see what zay jones does. MVS very frustrating. Or I can role dice On Uber talented AJ and hope titans finally figure it out and start AJ tho I’d like to see Tannehill concertedly target him. Urggghh. 
 

thanx Sig, I know u don’t want to read these longs ones but I’m freaking out! 

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR league. Who would you sit in this crew?

* K. Johnson vs DET -- Not a great matchup at all. Volume is there, but probably not much upside.

* A. Ekeler @TN -- Bad matchup, Gordon back.

* K. Allen @TN -- Has disappeared lately. Not a great matchup.

* W. Fuller @INDY -- Indy zone D could limit upside, but he's hard to sit.

Who sits the bench?

Thanks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Gordon or Mixon? Dede Westbrook or pickup one of Pettis, Jones, MVS, Beasley or Lazard? I need to win this week. Half PPR. 

Gordon or Kittle at the flex in standard. 
 

Thanks!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Pick one..,. Hines, Henderson, gio, walton, 0.5 ppr. My other back is gurley if that matters

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Am I overthinking things?  D. Singletary over M. Gordon?  12 team PPR

im ok with that

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi Bloom,

1pt/10yds, 6pts/TD, non-PPR. Need three WRs from Nuk, Lockett, Boyd, Lazard, Robby Anderson.

Thanks!

 

[GeeHua]

Thanks bloom! I will take your advice to give ginn a shot in a couple of my desperation leagues!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hi bloom! Could use some insight on a couple ive been going back and forth on

.5 ppr

Edmonds vs Giants(assuming DJ isn’t declared out, if he is auto start) or Singletary vs MIA?

John Brown vs MIA or Murray vs CHI?

thanks in advanced!

wont talk you out of singletary

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hello and THANK YOU.

FLEX - Jamsion Crowder or Aaron Jones ?

PPR; 6PTS TD, .1 for every yard, Bonus @ 100 for hitting that both on rushing and receiving

For context, I am starting Mack at RB (also started Lindsay) and Hopkins and McLauren @ WR.
