Hey Sig:

Need to start 2 or the 3 RB following RBs and a replacement QB in a PPR league (6 pts for rushing, receiving and passing TDs) where we also get a point for any first downs. Here is my order:

Edmonds, Ekeler, and/or Hyde.   

Tanehill or K. Murray. 

Do you agree? 

 

[JoeJoe88]

If Christian Kirk doesn’t play, I need to start one or the following. Full PPR, TE Premium: Devante Parker, Auden Tate, Matt Breida, Royce Freeman, or Jonnu Smith. Thanks!

 

[rockaction]

Roster move:

Have Bailey, Darnold, Schaub

Want J. Tucker, on wire, I'm out of FAAB, sure to be claimed for $1

Best ROS scenario, 4-3 (record, not defense) team, Superflex (2 QB) Have Murray, Mayfield, Foles, Darnold, Schaub at QB

This week: Start Schaub over Darnold and be forced to WW for other kicker  or  cut Schaub, start Darnold, WW for Tucker, drop Bailey Tuesday for position player who is now on waivers 

IOW, is this a rest of the season goodie in terms of tiered kickers, or are the consensus three points lost by starting Darnold enough to impact the game? In the game: I'm a huge underdog in this particular weekly match-up with Schaub 141-153, without Schaub 138-153

Tough one. Or easy for you. TIA, Sig.

 

[Wrigley]

Asked on the twitter machine, but I’ll ask here too

Stafford or Brees 

also, have to pick 2

Evans @ TEN

Hilton vs DEN

J Brown vs PHI

C Davis vs TB

 

[Simplysexie]

Hi, 

Thanks

 

[Liverpool]

Sir Sig,

Edmonds or TY Hilton this week (PPR)

Kyler or Brees this week and ROS?

 

[icehouse]

Gordon or White at the flex in half PPR? Gordon or McCoy at the flex in half PPR? Gordon or Kittle at the flex in standard? Thanks!

 

[CaptainJT]

Hi Bloom - need some help!

0.5 PPR (Pick 1) Matt Breida / Jamaal Williams / Preston Williams

QB - Mason Rudolph / Phillip Rivers (6 pt passing TD)

0.5 PPR (pick 1) Cole Beasley / Preston Williams

Thanks!

 

[theEinherjar]

Bloom!

Thanks so much in advance...

I’ve got a killer bye decision this week - My only QB is Lamar Jackson, who is on bye.  I have Samuels on IR but he is, surprisingly, not ruled out this week.  I have, roughly, a 40% chance of winning without a QB and I’m currently 4-3 (4th place).  I’m thinking I might just go without a QB, what do you think?

I’d have to drop two of these guys to pick up 1 QB and cover the bye:

Alshon Jeffery

Michael Gallup

Hollywood Brown

Sammy Watkins

Marquez valdes-scantling

Darrell Henderson

Jaylen Samuels

Who would you drop?  Or would you go with no QB?

Its a 12 Team, point per first down scoring system

Thanks for everything!

 

[The Kerminator]

Thanks for the help

PPR league WDIS this week Corey Davis or Robby Anderson?

Assuming Anderson does not get traded which 2 WRs do I roster rest of season of Anderson, Davis and McLaurin?

Rest of season at TE - Herndon or Cook? Does it change if Anderson gets traded?

 

[Shawnky]

PPR

James White or Darrell Henderson

 

[Amused to Death]

Standard scoring:

Corey Davis vs. Tampa or DJ Moore at San Fran?

 

[BIGT]

Morning Bloom,

12 team PPR

Questions involving Falcons with Schaub starting don't know if its smart to start both BUT...

WR3 start AJ Brown or C. Ridley

Also have Hooper or TJ Hock at TE ?

Thanks

 

[Buckna]

Ugh... I looove Nick Chubb, but my gut says he'll give me a week 1 performance against the pats.

I have jones, michel, Henderson & Chase Edmonds aswell as Godwin and ARob. 10 team std scoring.

Debating between Chubb and Edmonds myself in a redraft league.

 

[Polish Hammer]

Hey @Sigmund Bloom, thanks for doing this. With the weather news, would you play Wentz or Edmonds at flex in a PPR with all TDs at 6 pts? Have Kyler at QB and Wentz at Flex right now. Which 2 of the 3 should start?

 

[Buckna]

Ridley with no Ryan, gimpy Tyrell against the MASH secondary of the Texans or Robby against the Jags?

Edit: just saw Schaub is the backup for Ryan, Ridley to the bench!

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Sig:

PPR

Gottapick one. Murray or Edmonds? Already starting Carson

Thanks!

 

[[icon]]

BLOOOOM! First time, Long time.
 

12T PPR  (15ypt REC / 10y/pt Rush / 6pt All TD)
 

QB: Rudolph PIT -or- Moore KC  (Mahomes down / Jackson on Bye) 

FLX: White NE -or- Tate NYG (opp starting D Jones)
 

Thanks buddy!

 

[grantsa4]

0.5 ppr start 2 rb

James White vs CLE

Montgomery vs SD

McCoy vs GB

 

[Parmcat]

Hi Sig,

Who do you trust more in PPR?

John Brown in the bad weather or Chark?

Thanks

 

[Crusaderfan]

Need to bench one of these guys in a PPR: Jacobs, Ekeler, Gurley or C. Edmonds.

Thanks

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Do you risk Josh Allen or John Brown in the elements or drop down to a guy like Carr as a WW replacement. Would probably be Emmanuel Sanders or Dede (again, rain) over Brown.

 

[GoBills14]

With the 40 mph wind and rain in Buffalo, would you start Greg Olsen over Zach Ertz in PPR?

 

[Corn Rocket]

Ekeler or OBJ  

.5 PPR

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR league. Need a K. Allen emergency plan since he didn't practice Friday. Not a lot to choose from here, but  I need one in the flex:

* D. Henderson vs. CINCI -- great matchup. Henderson could get a ton of garbage time reps and McVay may use this game to lighten Gurley's load. M. Brown out too.

* D. Thomas @JAX -- Darnold throwing to him. Hasn't resulted in much production. JAX secondary not what it used to be.

* P. Williams @PIT -- Not a great matchup but Fitz is throwing to him.

* D. Hamilton @INDY -- Indy tends to give up the underneath stuff, but he also has Flacco throwing him the ball.

* Z. Pascal vs DEN -- Not a great matchup, but he's producing despite the fact he's sharing snaps.

* A. Erickson @LAR -- This guy is kind of out of nowhere, but he's getting targeted a ton the last 2 weeks. Could be again in a catchup game.

* T. Ginn vs AZ -- Peterson could be on M. Thomas. That said, Bridgewater not going deep too much so upside could be low.

* TE Options: J. Smith (vs TB), J. Hill (vs AZ),  C.Brate (@TN) -- All have excellent matchups! And OJ Howard and D. Walker ruled out. Looking like Cook is heading in that direction as well.

Which?

THanks!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR league.

Key question is this...do I dare sit Z. Ertz?

Ertz has a bad, bad matchup @BUF who are one of the top teams defending the TE. Plus, he has Goedert eating away at targets not to mention the fact that the Philly offense as a whole has been garbage. Throw in a windy rainy day in Buffalo as well and...ugh.

Options otherwise would be:

* C. Brate @TN -- OJ Howard ruled out. TN D has been forgiving to TEs.

* J. Hill vs AZ -- The best matchup for TEs in fantasy.

* J. Smith vs TB -- D. Walker is out. TB also is terrible at defending the TE.

Stand pat with Ertz? Or role the dice with one of these other options?

Thanks

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

GOOD LUCK TODAY!

1. PPR Flex (please rank if possible) thats the order

MVS

DJ Moore

Breida

2. PPR deep dynasty- Preston or Slayton (Shepard out, Slay out)?

TIA

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Is C. Kirk Drop-able - 10 team league - 20 man rosters with a WR-TE and a WR -RB flex along WR,WR 

WRs are

Evans

Hilton

Chark

DJ Moore

Ridley

Other prospective drops would be Schaub (Ryan owner in a 2QB league) or Deandre Washington (Jacobs Owner)

deandre

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

I have been ruined by injuries and trades this year so looking to make a trade since I only have 2 wins and Carson Wentz next 4 weeks are a bye and 3 brutal matchups. Half PPR and 4 pt pass TDs

Would you trade Wentz, Corey Davis, and DJ Chark for Stafford and TY? The owner is interested because he's undefeated. I'm thinking yes because both past their byes but my depth could be worrisome. We start 2 rb 2 wr 2 flex 1 te 1 qb 1 dst 1 k

If he doesn't end up biting, is Wentz for Stafford straight up still worth it since I need wins right now?

(QB: Wentz RBs: Chubb, Henry, R. Jones, Ty Johnson, T. Cohen, D. Henderson WRs: Tyreek, Chark, C. Davis, AJ Brown, Watkins, Kirk TEs: Hockenson, Howard)

i like wentz for stafford

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig

Pick 2;

McCaffrey vs SF

Coleman vs CAR

Edmonds vs NO

Johnson vs NYG

Murray vs ARI

Pick 3;

Hill vs GB

Edelman vs CLE

Evans vs TEN

Fitzgerald vs NO

Thanks in advance!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig bye week’s killing me. Start M Sanders or D Henderson in PPR?

and pray

 

[elbowrm]

Allen or M Williams?  

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Sig,

1.) My league starts 1,3,2,1,1,1,2. (deep starters), shallow 5 man bench, full PPR. Should I trade the SF defense owner my MVS? This will be my 2nd defense, I own the Pats. 

Some weeks I start 5 WR, right now I have: Wr=Godwin, Lockett, Stills, AJ Brown, Ridley.. MVS is my 6th. I have N’Keal in my IR spot who I’ll have to activate soon if I keep him 

(Rbs= chubb, Coleman, White, Edmonds/  TE= Waller, Everett) 

Im going to have to drop someone for a streaming defense next week, which I refuse to do, but can:

(A) stream DEF and not play a kicker and just middling streamers out there or (B) only play a kicker and leave DEF empty (who at least cant get negative points). If I can get (C) SF in that trade, maybe I will hold both, which is yucky, and play the matchups since SF schedule isn’t all gravy. 
 

2.) judging by my roster above, knowing I need 9 skill position starters. How do u like trading edmonds, Everett, MVS or another Wr3 for Amari cooper? 
 

3.) primer shows y’all have Ridley higher than Tevin, Mvs, AJ B, I need one. He was boom bust with Matty ice, now I’m really scared with concerned with Schaub. Is tevin the safest play? I’d love to be a part of AJ or the Monday night game. Are they all about the same for u? 

thanks sig! 

get MVS, tevin safest in nonppr, but i like MVS and AJB this week better in PPR

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Bloom, thanks in advance for your help.  Injuries are killing me.

12 team leagues, 1 PPR, standard scoring

1 Flex:  Hardman vs GB or Sanu vs Cle

Better ROS backup QB, I have Brady as my #1 - Carr or Dalton

Pick 1 RB Freeman @ Ind or D. Williams vs GB

Pick 1 WR if Keenan Allen can't go: G. Allison @ KC or J. Brown @ ATL or 

Thanks!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Please pick 2 for QB and Superflex spot: Wentz, Darnold, Trubisky, Dalton

In PPR, please pick one for Flex spot: Smokey, Kirk, Ronald Jones, AJ Brown, D.Parker, M.Walton, Keke 

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig!

Simple enough; Wentz or Rudolph...

and standard WR - would you sit one of the 3 : Beckham (vsNE-Gilmore) / Hilton (vsDen-Harris) / Cooks (vsCin!) for Metcalf (vsAtl!)

Thanks!

im sitting cooks in that group

 

[themikus]

Super flex spot, Bridgewater got torpedoed by Brees return. But Matt Schaub is available on WW to plug in and FBGs seems pretty high on him, much more so than other sites.

It’s a yahoo league with nonstandard scoring

So:  Matt Schaub or Frank Gore?

 

[ShamrockPride]

Hey Sig, if you manage to get to my question, thanks!

1 PPR, choose my flex

LeSean McCoy or Auden Tate?

 

[DukT]

Hey Sig,

I need to choose between J. Allen and R. Tannehill. This league does give double points for qb rushing tds but looking fo safest option with the weather in buffalo

Thanks!

 

[Stingdiddy]

Hi Bloom,

Stafford or Brees? Thank you.

 

[GoBirds]

Wentz in the wind or Rivers?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig,

half ppr, for my flex, DJ Moore or Shady McCoy? 

THANKS!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Yo!

.5 PPR 

Ekeler / McCoy / OBJ / Corey Davis

Need 3 out of this group.

Thanks!!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig!

In a standard league, I have to start one TE and I have Waller and Kittle. I was planning on starting my 3 RB’s, Edmunds, Murray, and Lindsay, and not flex one of my TE’s. So, do I start both TE’s and sit a RB, or start those three RB’s and only start Kittle or Waller. If yes, on the three RB’s, which TE should I roll out there. 
 

thx for the help!! 

id go waller to the bench

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Hey Sig!

1 PPR Redraft Week 8

TE: Kittle or Henry (only 1 TD YTD for Kittle & high wind/gusts expected in SF)

ROS (pick 1): WR5: Corey Davis, Robby Anderson, Tyrell Williams or Dede Westbrook? (My WR's: Hopkins, Lockett, Diggs & Fitz + AJGreen/IR slot)

Thanks, as always!!

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

1. WR (Pick 1) Keenan or JuJu (already started McLauren and not even entertaining Devante Adams)
   
2. RB (Pick 2)  Gordon, Mack, Michel, Snell

[Sigmund Bloom]

PPR League. 12 team league with roster size of 18 (10 starters, 8 bench).

Curious if you think both Will Fuller and OJ Howard are cuttable?

I'm racking up injuries with K. Johnson and K. Allen hurt. Fuller is supposed to be out multiple weeks while OJ is out for this week and has been terrible.

I see reinforcements on the waiver wire at WR (D. Hamilton, P. Williams, others) and a few RB lotto picks. I also have Z. Ertz at TE (just traded for him due to OJ's lack of production) and have T. Lockett and C. Davis at WR along with K. Allen.

One thing on OJ: Been hanging on in the hopes he's traded somewhere so I could either a) play him, or b) use him as a trade chip.

Keep Fuller? OJ? Both? Or drop?

Thanks

drop oj, hold fuller

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Q1: 0.5ppr, pick two from Marvin Jones, Mike Williams, Kenny stills (Assume keenan allen is out)

q2: From this list:  what are your two best RB handcuffs that if injury to starter were to occur would be a RB2 or better

gus edwards, mckissic, penny, hines, wilkins, dion lewis, gio, ty montgomery, armstead, darrel williams, prosise, gallman, bonnafon, justice hill

q3: 0.5ppr, being reported kamara is out, i have gurley but need one more RB from burkhead, henderson, drake... Or a deep cut from waivers if you have an idea. Starting to get worried Drake may not play at all Monday as they try to trade him before Tuesday
