Week 13 Questions For Bloom

[Sigmund Bloom 1,011]

Hope it's lucky for you

[mega_rob 0]

Happy Thanksgiving Sig! Better bench stash for playoffs (weeks 15/16)? Goedert (have Andrews), R Anderson, Snell, Armstead, Edwards, D Thompson (have McCoy/Darrel)? PPR 

Also this week start 3 (2 RBs/1flex): Carson, OBJ, M Sanders, McCoy or Darrel? PPR

Edited November 30, 2019 by mega_rob

[Sherwin Atighetchi 0]

Should I start Tevin Coleman or Darrel Williams now that Damien Williams is out?

[DesertTiger 0]

So Cecil’s “opinion” is that Lock won’t start until week 16. However, there are reports that he’s practicing with the starters so maybe a chance that he starts this week. What are your thoughts on Lock in a Superflex league if he does start this week? He has great matchups in the playoff rounds. I currently have Wentz and Darnold, but concerned with Darnold’s week 15 (vs BAL) & 16 (vs PIT) bad matchups. If Lock starts this week, I’m thinking I should pick him up now since I just spent my entire FAAB on Penny. Is he worth a speculative add or not worth it even if he starts? Thanks Sig!

Hey sig,

Hope you had a great thanksgiving.

I am fighting for my playoff berth even tho I am top 2 in points in ppr head to head league. Win and I am in, if I lose need some help

Qb: wentz or winston (my opponent has mike evans)

Wr- need 2 of these 3: alshon jeffery, Dk Metcalf and will fuller 

Tight end- I have ertz, if he plays I am using him. I picked up jack doyle. If ertz doesnt go would you use doyle, fant, jonnu smith  or fells.

Sup sig, 

This week I'm playing for first overall, in playoffs(wk15/16) and 25% of pot Thanks to FBG and you!! 

In .5PPR Need 1 TE, 1 Flex:

Olsen Goedert Parker Sony Drake Penny

In Free Agency: Shepard/MWilliams/McCoy/DWill but I would need to drop someone from initial list .. 

 

thanks again for all your help!

[Loomba 9]

Bloomin' Onion!  I can still sneak in the back door for a Wild Card spot in my main league.  Too bad I started the rebuild for 2020 already...LOL.

 

0.5 PPR otherwise standard, 12 teamer.

Pick a QB:  Darnold or Deshaun Watson  (I am leaning Darnold).

Pick 2 RBs:  Ronald Jones or Aaron Jones or Miles Sanders  (This is a tough one given the matchups and with Aaron not being an autostart lately...)

My (not so great) receivers are: C. Kirk; Slayton; Waller and Hollister.    Any reason to bench one for Lazard?  (I would doubt it).

 

Mucho Gracias Senor!  We do not believe in no triskaidekaphobia...

[DBDynasty 6]

Hey Sig -

Rostering both of the KC Williams, Snell, and Lat as my rotating RB2. Armstead and Edwards are not rostered.
 

1. Can/Should I drop Damien Williams for Gus Edwards or Ryquell Armstead? Literally nobody else to drop. 

2. Darrel W or Snell this week?

3. Week 14 Defense: Pitt, Minn, Car?

Thanks, Sig!

Sig,

Thanks for the insights all season!

With news of Tate and Engram out, who's a better flex PPR play, Shepherd or RoJo?

[Rubi 296]

Thanks Sig,

FPC scoring:

Need 1 one the following:

                                               V.McDonald vs Cleve

                                               I.Smith @ Sea

And with T.Y. out need his replacement:

                                                D.Slayton vs GB(weather?)

                                               J.Washington vs Cleve

                                              

 

[Nate Cousineau 2]

Full ppr. Need 1 for flex... Diontae Johnson, Jaylen Samuels, or Darrel Williams? Thanks! 

[flexyplay 1]

Happy holidays Bloom!

 

If Ertz is out, start Goedert over MANdrews I assume? And then for flex, who sits between MANdrews, MSanders and Ekeler?

Are we dropping Engram? Could pick up Lock or Campbell or stash a defense (Vikings, Packers, Chiefs, Texans available) for the playoffs. Would hate to see Engram blow up against me in those weak playoff matches vs Miami and Washington. 
 

TIA and good luck to you!

PPR league.  I’ve secured a bye so I'm now looking to maximize my RB situation and ensure I have the best matchups and RB lotto tickets during the playoffs.

Note: There are two flex positions so I can start as many as 4 RBs weekly.

Here are my current RBs and their schedules week 15 and 16:

Starters: 

* S. Barkley (MIA, @WASH) -- Great matchups. 

* T. Coleman (ATL, LAR) 

* A. Ekeler (MN, OAK)

* K. Drake (CLE, @SEA)

Handcuffs/lotto tickets:

* A. Mattison (@LAC, GB) -- Great matchups if Cook goes down or is rested.

* W. Gallman (MIA, @WASH) -- Handcuff for Barkley. Think worth holding due to schedule and threat of Barkley shutdown.

* L. McCoy (DEN, @CHI) -- Not great, but a piece of KC offense. Who knows how long Damien Williams is out.

* D. Guice (PHI, NYG) -- Hoping by week 15 AP is put out to pasture. Week 15 matchup not great. Basically holding for use in the championship game.

* R. Armstead ( @OAK, @ATL)

The question is, should I drop any of the above for any of the following RBs in waivers?

Available:

* G. Edwards (NYJ, @CLE)

* J. Ajayi (@WASH, DAL)

* C. Edmonds (CLE, @SEA)

* T. Pollard (LAR, @PHI)

* R. Mostert (ATL, LAR)

I'm dying to get Gus since he has standalone value and would be a monster if Ingram goes down. Something seems attractive about grabbing Edmonds and having the AZ backfield (assuming DJ is a non factor). Pollard would be a league winner although Zeke seems like he's made of steel. Ajayi has a great schedule, but who knows about Howard and Mostert is Coleman insurance.

Stand pat?

Or pick up one or two...and drop who?

thanks

Hi Mr. Bloom.

PPR League for rest of season, specifically weeks 15 and 16.  Looking for bench depth for playoffs as waivers lock next week  

McCoy or Penny at RB?

McLaurien or Samuel at WR?

 

thanks in advance!

[MissionCoach 6]

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving with the family Sig,.  As always thanks for the help.

I'm very nervous that Mark Ingram wont be able to go Sunday, and need a backup plan.  The waiver wire is a wasteland.  I need 2 RB's, I'm starting McCaffrey and hopefully Ingram.  I sat D. Montgomery, my only other option,  my only other RB is Bonnafon.

Pick 1 WW scrub for me in case Ingram is a no go.  12 team, 1 PPR, standard scoring.

Barber @ Jax;  Wilson @ Balt;  Ajayi @ Mia;  Whyte vs Cle;  Burkhead @ Hou;  D. washington @ KC;  J. Hill vs SF - sadly this is the best available 

 

 

[4th&inches 318]

League 2: 12-team, .5 PPR, Passing TD's = 4pts, 3yr Keeper league (QRRWWTFKD)

[Ominous Johnson 27]

Playing for 1st round bye here.

4 point passing TD

Wentz or Watson?

Thanks for all your help this year!

[Shaunz33 110]

Hi. Trying to pick my last PPR flex. Presume Edelman, Landry and Melvin are starters. Already played Golladay and Cohen (he was probably a mistake)

So then I have to pick between Marquis Brown or Darrell Williams? Would it change if I am looking to go with the higher floor. 

Thanks!

[TheBigToe 0]

Happy Sunday Siggy!!

Standard..need 1

Chris Carson

Will Fuller

A.J. Brown

TYIA

 

[-OZ- 8,107]

If David Johnson plays, do you start him over Carlos Hyde or Sammy Watkins as flex?  Ppr

Leaning Hyde but don't like the options. 

Edited November 30, 2019 by -OZ-

[GoBirds 10,206]

Is Evan Engram worth holding or droppable since you won't be able to trust him and what WW options would you recommend for playoff teams hurting at TE?

[Captain Crunk 10]

Hey Sig,

Murray or Winston?

.5 PPR - Carson or Tevin?

Alshon or Tyler Boyd?

Thanks!

[sho nuff 16,898]

Right now im leaning this way in stamdard scoring...

RB. Carson and Lindsay

WR. Adams, Chark

Flex. DJ Moore

But can sub in K Allen, Miles Sanders or possibly Darrel Williams...also have Conner but cant trust that shoulder yet.

Sub or stick with my gut on those?  

 

Edited November 30, 2019 by sho nuff

[DrCoats 0]

Weak RB's, strong WR's & TE's. Pls rank who to drop to pick up 2nd DST to pair w/SF or Balt. for 4 week playoff rounds.

Also, drop any to pick up Edmonds or Ajayi or specific high upside RB.

Lg 1:

D. Johnson, D. Samuels, L. Murray, Jam. Williams

Lg 2:

J. Howard, Jam. Williams, R. Jones II, D Waller

Sig,

thanks for always being patient and giving of your time on Twitter and here.

1.) Pick 2 for ppr: Darrel, Snell, AJ Brown.

the fan in me wants to watch Darrel and Brown but logic says Snell has to be the floor pick between to pair with prolly Darrel. Let the fan or logic win? 
 

2.) Might need in week 14: Auden Tate or Hurns in ppr?
