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.
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:

Good 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.

That lineup dominator that comes with the FBG sub has his recs along with a few other analysts and is a great tool since it gives consensus. Cant help but think that's more efficient for everyone involved.

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.

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 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!
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 agree with your lean. MVS will have a breakout somewhere…timing when is the hard part.
Williams is the best play of those three IMO. He should have more opportunities with the lack of receiving options for DET outside of he, Swift, and Hock.

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

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.
the only issue with AC forum is velocity. Sometimes it’s 20 mins before the game & posts just didn’t get answered very quickly there even when the forum was more active.

Let's get it rolling. CEH or Antonio Brown in PPR flex this week?

Mooney, 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 think CEH has a higher floor but Brown has a higher ceiling. If I was in a projected close match I would go with CEH, if I was a decent underdog I would go with AB.

Big rbbc in Bal going on so yes, Gaskin is the safe play even against a tough defense.
Helaire-ious

Risky either way. I see Ravens playing from behind so limits Williams even more IMO. gaskin for me, but see both sides.

I have no idea if this is true or not so it’s simply a dart throw on my end. But I know he was displaced during the recent New Orleans hurricane and things were crazy for him for a while. He might just have his plate full gathering his life together and this is a casualty of it. Simply I guess on my part but would make sense and certainly be understandable if it was true.
