this is a great question and one that provoked a lot of thought bugs bunny. Bugs seemed like the type that could go with the flow, always on the move, hip and ahead of his time, confident in any

If you could befriend a cartoon character, who would it be?

Struggling on a decission for my TE and last flex spot. My opponent have already had ARod and A Jones played, so can't afford losing too many points. It's a PPR, 0.25 PPC, TE PREM League.

Flex:
Larry Fitzgerald or Tarik Cohen

TE:
Evan Engram or Jared Cook

My other starters:
RB: McCaffery, Dalvin Cook, Phillip Lindsay
WR: Mike Evans, Amari Cooper

Thanks!

1st place (8-2) roster non-PPR.

Thinking of packaging RB+WR for top 12 WR (Keenan Allen, Cooks, Evans seem available). Thinking Ingram + one of Alshon/Gordon (maybe Diggs for a top 8 might do it. Would you try or stand pat?

QB: Goff, Wentz
RB: Zeke, Connor, Michel, Ingram, Collins, Adams
WR: M Thomas, Diggs, Alshon, Gordon
TE: Kelce
DST: NE, BAL

Also, what DST do you like most for week 15: BAL (vs TB), CIN (@OAK), SEA (@SF),  DET(@BUF), or BUF(@DET)? (I’m holding NE for week 16 vs. Buffalo).

Thanks!

QB: Matt Ryan, Lamar Jackson

RB: Connor, Fournette, Aaron Jones, Dion Lewis, Jordan Howard

Start 1QB/2 RB/ 1 FLX league.

Would you deal Dion Lewis or Jordan Howard to get Cam Newton? Already have Ryan, but should I go for it?

10 Team Standard League - Start QB - 2RB - 2WR - 2 Flex

I am currently 2nd in points scored and 4-6 in record, getting to 6-7 likely secures me a playoff spot with tiebreakers.

If I miss the playoffs, weeks 15-16 are still worth a premium because we play to avoid our last place punishment. 

I am playing the best team in the league this week, but had a decent start with Adams and Carson last night. 

Trade offered to me was James Conner and Wentz or Watkins for Zeke. Would you take that with consideration on making the playoffs and, if not, weeks 15-16. 

My Team: 

QB: A. Luck , Fitzmagic

RB: Zeke, CMC, Chubb, C. Carson, M.Davis, J. Adams

WR: D. Adams, K. Golladay, C. Sutton, C. Godwin

TE: Trey Burton, E. Engram

Thanks!!

12 team standard league

WDIS at flex?

J. Brown vs Cinn

D. Martin @ Ariz

Funchess @ Det

I currently have D. Martin in there due to volume and matchup.  But I'm confused by your projection of J. Brown who you have over both these players.  I get that Bengals secondary stinks.  Flacco is almost guaranteed to be out.  Are we really trusting RG3 or L. Jackson to get him the deep ball?  We have no idea if Brown has chemistry with any of these QBs other than Flacco.

Hey Sig.

 

In a standard league, do I:

1) roll with Sanders or Corey Davis this week?

2) Go with Cam over Brees?  

 

In a PPR league, I need one of these 3: Anthony Miller, John Brown, Quanfetti?

 

As always, thx

Courtland Sutton and John Browns volitality has me concerened as my 2 flexes. Not sure if Hayward has been as shutdown as made out to be or if he’s seen some poor passing offenses. Obviously Smoke has not been helpful lately and now has a running qb with accuracy issues. I need the ceiling of Smoke and Sutton to seal the win but both reveal similarly low floors. Should I sub one for riddick in full PPR? Riddick could conceivably see more targets than either WR.

Also do I need to be handcuffing fitz with Jameis? or u confident a change won’t happen based on business concerns. I’ll be up a creek if I don’t have jameis rostered cuz guys will faab block me. 

Thanks sig.

Bloom, thanks as ever for your insights.

0.6 PPR, looking to sort out my WR and flex starters.

For WR, have Kenny Golladay, Alshon Jeffrey, and Amari Cooper to choose through, with them and Tarik Cohen and Philip Lindsay to consider for the flex.

Cooper and Jeffrey look to be in shootout games, but Jeffrey drawing Lattimore's attention is concerning, and while Cooper has seen solid volume since joining the team, DAL is still a run-first team.

Golladay potentially without (or with a gimpy) Jones is concerning -- while the CAR CBs aren't scary, their safeties are pretty solid, and concerned about Golladay disappearing again.

Lindsay and Cohen will see their regular volume, but Lindsay's share is likely to be affected by Royce Freeman's return, and have no idea whether the game script CHI has against a tough MIN run D, and whether that favors Cohen or not.

RIght now leaning towards either starting all 3 WRs, or Jeffrey and either Golladay or Cooper and Lindsay. 

Would love other opinions as I'm in a must-win situation and every point counts.

I'm trying to find a way to get L. Jackson on my roster. I've been streaming QBs all season and having Jackson in hand with that great schedule could be a league winner. As of Friday, Jackson practiced while Flacco did not. 

Here's my roster:

* QB: R. Wilson, M. Trubisky

* RB: T. Gurley, J. Conner, A. Jones, N. Chubb, M. Mack, A. Collins

* WR: A. Jeffery, J. Gordon, MVS, J. Brown

I've bolded drop candidates (and I can't drop MVS and WIlson since I started them last night). 

You'll note that I have considerable RB depth. That said, I do love A. Collins schedule. I'm lighter at WR, but I can start 3 RBs so only need 2 any given week and with my RB depth I fully expect to start 3.

Would you drop any of these guys for L. Jackson?

Thanks

Always appreciate the words of wisdom. Am buried with byes this week in my 0.5 point PPR league. Need a flex. Realistic choices are:

 

Nelson Agholor--great match-up against the Saints who bleed fantasy points to WRs, but with Tate getting more involved, he may only be 4th option for Philly

Josh Doctson-- last man standing for the Skins, although they have serious O-line issues and the Texans secondary has performed pretty well against WRs

Keke Coutee--I spent a large portion of my FAAB budget to pick him up 5 weeks ago, only to have him get hurt and then the Texans traded for D. Thomas. He is seriously questionable, and if I ride with him and he sits, I will be screwed and have to take a zero for my flex.

Pick up & start Dak & wait for next week?

Thx for your help.

HI Sig,

Need a win bad. Already mediocre start from Wilson but at least I sat Graham and dodged that bullet. 

Anyway, standard scoring with a 5 point bonus for 100 yards.

one of these has to SIT:

Dalvin Cook

Mixon

Golloday

Juju

Mike Evans

 

Also, TE: Howard or McDonald?

 

THANKS and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Wondering if you could rank the following QB streamers for the rest of the year. Been streaming all year and I'm trying to set myself up for the playoffs. 

4 pts per TD pass. Bold are playoff matchups.

1. M. Trubisky -- @DET, @NYG, LAR, GB, @SF

2. R. Wilson -- @CAR, SF, MN, @SF, KC

3. L. Jackson -- OAK, @ATL, @KC, TB, @LAC (Probably the best overall schedule, but not sure you can trust the talent over other options).

4. M. Mariota -- @HOU, NYJ, JAX, @NYG, WASH

5. C. Keenum -- PIT, @CIN, @SF, CLE, @OAK  (This looks real soft, but similar to L. Jackson not sure Keenum can be trusted).

Would you switch the above order in any way or do I have it right?

Thanks.
