Maybe it got better later in the year but a coin toss would have been better last year. If you have a subscription then the consensus rankings would be best.Am I blind or did Bloom bail on this?
Found this one of the more useful end of week threads.
Bummer.
Agreed. It’s tough to call guys week to week though. The end result of blooms recommended starts were probably better when viewed at an end of season lense last year. Not long ago I valued his opinions more than anyone on this site by a decent margin. Lately things have been different for whatever reason. I do hope he gets back to this for this season. It’s nice to see the paid football guys actually participating in the forum. That’s what it made it great years ago.BassNBrew said:Maybe it got better later in the year but a coin toss would have been better last year.

I’d love this. You’d have less people injecting it secretly into player threads. I understand the assistant coach forum, but it always seems so lazy when I get an answer because most people just end it with “okay answer mine”, which I also understand… it just seems sort of haphazard.Can we keep this one thread up for start/sit on this board to help each other out as opposed to the assistant coach board which nobody looks at?
Glass is always half empty for too manyGood call.
Bloom’s efforts were usually rewarded with a bunch of yahoo’s mad about an incorrect call.
It’s not easy to prognosticate week to week, it took him a heck of a lot of effort, and the “reward” was getting called out by 50 people every week for the bad calls while the 50 good calls went ignored.
I don’t blame him.
Maybe we should have a start/sit topic on a rotation, where a different shark pool denizen hosts it each week.
This is a great point.I really think the “I’m starting x over x” threads serve this purpose already. The bloom start/sit thread was really just a rehash of his rankings, and the value was more in seeing what decisions other people were struggling with. The player specific start sit threads accomplish the same thing in a more targeted way.
I can understand them moving away from giving away info that others pay for, particularly given the time commitment and considering Dodds’ retirement.
This is why he should have gotten into almonds at the ground floor.This is a great point.
Most frequently Bloom would just say something to the effect of ‘that’s how I have them ranked this week’, and to your other point, he was giving away the proverbial cow, which may have been hurting milk sales.
What’s your start/sit question? My market is off to a slow start - I’ll give it a shot!We need something.
Whether or not Bloom answered my question correctly, I found a lot of value in seeing his responses to others.
And let's be honest, nobody goes to the AC forum (here, or elsewhere for that matter).

I agree with your lean. MVS will have a breakout somewhere…timing when is the hard part.Nice!
I need to pick 2 of the following three:
* T. Boyd @CHI
* Jamaal Williams @DET
* MVS vs DET
Leaning Boyd and Williams. I'm projected to win. MVS always boom or bust. Could go with Boyd and Williams and then if behind going into Monday night throw MVS in there hoping Rodgers goes bonkers and hits him deep a couple times.
I would go Boyd & Williams, though week 1’s goose egg was disturbing.Nice!

I used to be fairly active over there, and if I had start-sit questions I probably would be again. I hated asking without first answering 4-5.I know you do use it, but this sort of reply does amuse me, as those making this comment usually are those that cause the issue in the first place. If everyone that looked at AC and thought it was dead answered one question, then suddenly it's not dead
tough call, probably Patrick if he got snaps after Jeudy got hurtMooney, Patrick, or Shenalut? .5 PPR
Hard to know which week will belong to AB/Godwin/Evans. I maybe go CEH, but cant fault either choice.Let's get it rolling. CEH or Antonio Brown in PPR flex this week?

I like Patrick in that one as well.tough call, probably Patrick if he got snaps after Jeudy got hurt
HarrisI've got one.
Need a flex in a Non-ppr league:
DJ Moore, Damien Harris or Melvin Gordon

Big rbbc in Bal going on so yes, Gaskin is the safe play even against a tough defense.Non ppr
Gaskin vs Ty’son
Gaskin seems the safe play…but hate that Buffalo matchup watching how they limited Pitt’s rushing so much.
Risky either way. I see Ravens playing from behind so limits Williams even more IMO. gaskin for me, but see both sides.Non ppr
