Week 16 Questions For Bloom

[Epic 1]

PPR Flex spot

Need one OBJ , Gallup, D Washington 

 

Thanks for all you do have  a Merry Christmas!

Edited December 21, 2019 by Epic

[Crash Davis 14]

Non-ppr distance bonuses for long TDs.

H.Henry or Higbee?

Higbee is on fire, while Henry is flailing, but Everett is back and SF is 2nd against TEs this year while the Raiders are 2nd to last. I'm really struggling with this one.

Also, would you start Boone over D.Henry or A.Jones? I just can't see it, but again, the match-up is great and Henry's hammy concerns me.

 

Thanks!

[ultraviolet 2]

Hi Sig:

I am a slight favorite in my PPR Finals matchup and am considering diversifying my lineup.  I have three questions for you:

   1. Given, that I have Zeke, do I diversify away from Cooper and risk starting Perriman? Perriman's hands and target shares worry me.

   2. I think the better Tampa Bay play is starting Howard over Goedert at TE?

  3. Finally, do I roll with Ekeler over DeAndre or Boone as my flex?

 

My lineup choices in bold:

QB: Lamar Jackson

RB (start 2) : Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, Austin Ekeler, DeAndre Washington, Mike Boone

WR (start 2): Michael Thomas, Amari Cooper, Breshad Perriman

TE (1):  Dallas Goedert, O.J. Howard

FLEX (1): Austin Ekeler, DeAndre Washington, Mike Boone.

 

Happy holidays.

Hi Sig. I have two questions on Week 16.

1. 12-team Dynasty League with 25-player rosters, 0.5 PPR.

Flex spot. Which would you pick from this group: Austin Hooper, Darius Slayton, Emmanuel Sanders, Kerryon Johnson, Greg Ward

2. 12-team league, 0.5 PPR, normal-size rosters

For my WR2: OBJ, Juju, Slayton, or Ward

Happy holidays!

I know we'll need to wait, but want to play out some scenarios to be ready for anything come Saturday/Sunday/Monday.  

Need 2 flex spots, in PPR:

Boone vs GBY Monday (he's in if we hear both Cook and Mattison are out obviously)

OBJ vs BAL Sunday 

Smoke vs NE Saturday

B. Scott vs DAL Sunday

Higbee vs SF Saturday

Mostert vs LA Saturday 

Have Boone & Mostert In right now. 

If we don't have any clarity by Saturday, wait it out and pivot to OBJ or Scott on Sunday if we still don't know who's playing?  Or just roll with Boone regardless and pray?

Finally a K question, stick with Z Gonzalez or pick up Bailey, Sanders or Forbath?

Thanks for all of your help and wouldn't be here without the FBG community. Hitting on Mahomes last year and Jackson this year was a huge advantage and allowed me to overcome my 2nd round pick of OBJ and 4th round pick of Michel and 5th round pick of OJ Howard. 

 

Thanks for supporting FBG!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Now Mattison has a chance? And now Cook is going through his normal preparation? Ugh.

I have to assume that with the lack of clarity on the situation, you would go with Ingram over Cook/Boone (PPR)? Unless we know Boone is the only one active before the Sunday games begin?

 

DST-

ATL vs JAX

IND vs CAR

NYJ vs PIT

go ingram regardless

Thanks Bloom..need to know in ppr flex spot. Need to pick 1. Edelman, K.Drake, Perriman or Darren Waller? 

 

[BC Hawks Fan 2]

PPR

Flex - J. White, D. Washington or Boone as my flex? Leaning White to be safe. Also, if you prefer one of the other two, would Edelman being out make you lean more towards White?

WR3 - Conley, G. Tate, T. Williams, Stills or pick up Ward or Watson off waivers? I know this is ugly. Leaning Conley and hope Chark is out.

Thanks Sig, appreciate all your hard work all year

[icehouse 32]

Thanks in advance. Need to pick 3 in non-ppr to cover two RBs and a flex (flex can be a RB/WR/TE):

Singletary, Gordon, Kittle, Boone/Mattison (I have both) or DeAndre Washington

Bloom! Tell me your gut on the following, thanks!

all PPR scoring with TE premium 1.5pt per rec. 

league 1: PPR starting 2rb2wr2flex, my opponent is starting deshaun Watson, I have Hopkins, Kupp, Fuller. On 2wr, I'm thinking about starting Hopkins and fuller together. And bench Kupp unless you think I should start Kupp over any of the following Ingram/Ekeler/Gordon/Drake (those 4 are my 2rb2flex), I have Boone/D Washington/Hunt on my bench also. Do you agree or suggest otherwise?

league 2: select 2 out of the following: Boone (if Mattison doesn't play)/D washtington/Rojo/D Montgomery/Justin Watson. And would you start Mahomes over Wilson?

league 3: debating btw Drake or Golladay on Flex. And hooper or Higbee on TE. Boone or gurley on RB.

league 4: need help on 2 starting WR positions from Boyd/J Brown/DeDe/Watkins and Erickson/Gage/Bourne/G Ward on WW. My current plan is to roll with Boyd and John Brown (even he will matchup with Gilmore). Also need 2rb2flex out of the following (TE premium), Aaron Jones/d freeman/Boone/ertz/d Washington/Higbee/Mostert/hunt.

Finally DST, pls rank the order you would start this week assume you have all of them: BAL/NE/DEN/SF/SEA

Cheers!

You know what to do

Hi Sigmund,

I need help on my WR2. I need to pick one in PPR:

Kupp, D Johnson, Slayton. I could also pick up Amendola or Ward on waivers. 
 

Thanks for all the hard work and dedication. This is the first time I post in this chat and I find it amazing you take time to answer these questions. 
 

Feliz Navidad, Sig. 

[squistion 12,469]

I need to pick 5 of:

Higbee 

Laird

Diontae Johnson

Juju

John Ross

Hunter Henry

Russell Gage

Thanks in advance!

[Captain Crunk 10]

Hey Sig,

.5 PPR - 1st place game....This is a coin flip as I am only down by 3 in projections.

Edelman, Chark, Danny A. in the flex?

Goedert or Jonnu - opponent has Tannehill?

Playing for 3rd  - Minshew, Mitch, or Dalton....streaming has been to me this year but Josh Allen's playoff run is rough.  I can also pick him up.

Perriman, Diggs, or Kupp for WR2?

Thanks!

hooper or cook

full ppr, big underdog

[BigDave 70]

WR help, need 2.

A. Brown, Perriman, Fuller or Boyd?

[BigDave 70]

QB help.

Tannehill or Rivers?

[Pietaster2 32]

Devin Singletary or DeAndre Washington in PPR?

It feels so even, and I’m so torn. Thanks in advance!

Edited December 21, 2019 by Pietaster2

[VikingFrog 774]

Start 3/4 if Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams, Keenan Allen, Perriman.

Keenan Allen or Perriman is the true choice it seems... Non PPR.

Starting Jameis At QBand without a good performance from him my team is likely going down as an underdog. So leaning Perriman but could use an expert opinion.

[Corn Rocket 20]

AJ Brown or Lockett

1/2 PPR

STD League with 1QB 2RB 2WR Flex(WR/RB) K DST

QB - Mahomes

RB - Dalvin Cook / Mike Boone / Alexander Mattison ? (MON)

RB - Nick Chubb

WR - Tyreek Hill

WR - Will Fuller ? (SAT)

FLEX - Devin Singletary ? (SAT)

TE - George Kittle

DST - Steelers ? (SUN)

Bench: Kenny Golladay (SUN), Ravens (SUN), DeAndre Washington (SUN), Sony Michel (SAT), Mike Williams (SUN)

Matchup is projected to be very close. I'm really struggling between Ravens v Steelers but thats probably the least important start/sit decision i have.

i like your choices. mw vs fuller is a toss up, i like PIT over BAL both great options, im fine with singletary over dewash, singletary better back, tougher matchup, dewash got fat on cheap receptions in first matchup

Do not have Cook/Mattison, so would have to go with Williams as flex if I pick Boone and he is not clear cut starter IMHO.

 

i think brown is safer in PPR, id go slayton in nonppr or .5 ppr

.75 PPR league. 

I'm wrestling with AJ Brown vs. Lockett. You have them ranked one slot apart in the top ten, but the site consensus has Brown more like a WR2. 

Any reason to favor one over the other? Floor/ceiling disparity?

Thanks for all your help this year!!! 

 

 

id go lockett bc of marshon lattimore and NO D playing better than ARI D

Would you go big or go home with Boone Monday night even if we don’t know have clarity on Cook or Mattison status Sunday? My opponent has Cook and picked up Washington who he’s likely starting over him.
 

Thanks for your help all season, happy holidays!

Hi Sig, biggest week of the season, need 4 from the following:

Chubb - I know he's a stud but awful matchup, is he fully trustworthy over the other options?

Adams - again, stud, but matchup looks tough to say the least

R.Mostert (enough volume?)

B.Perriman (tricky as he plays Saturday, high ceiling, bust potential)

M.Boone (obviously only if Cook and Mattison looks to be out)

Chark (if fit)

 

QB - Cousins or Trubisky (yikes on both), could pick up Minshew or Fitz (gulp!) (wont talk you out of fitz esp if weather looks ok)

TE - Kittle or Andrews (prefer Kittle generally but Andrews matchup seems better)

Thanks and good luck to you!

Great season Sig, thanks for everything!

Higbee flex worthy this week? PPR, don't really have many other options. 3 straight 20 point weeks, hoping for a 4th. 

Falcons home versus Jags or Chiefs at Chicago. I know the rankings, but I'm high on ATL right now, especially in the dome against another Jags collapse of a season. 

dont love higbee w everett back. wont talk you out of ATL but id go KC
