Buy Low: WR-Lee Evans-BUF

I have him and I am disappointed in his performance, but he always seems to start slow, and he had Champ Bailey (plus help) blanketing him all day. So I am not really surprised by what I got from him this week. Also, Losman got excited and overthrew him on what would have been a very long play where he juked past Bailey and got wide open. He'll be fine the deeper into the season we get.

Sell High: RB-Chris Brown-TEN

I also have him but I wouldn't expect too many games like this. :goodposting: The Jags gave up 282 rushing yards, and Chris Brown got only 1 more carry than Lendale White, and I was a bit surprised to see that when I saw Brown's rushing totals for this week.

 
I also have both. I knew Evans might have a down week, but I think it will get better.

I picked up CB on the waiver, replacing some low schmuck I drafted last. I look to trade him off in the near future.

 
Buy: Reggie Bush - i'm amazed at all the backlash

MJD - don't know what happened, but i am not forgetting last year

Sell: Chris Brown

Real deals: Randy Moss - when he decides to try he's always been the best

Adrian Peterson - kid is good

 
On the rise:

1) All Day- especially if CT is hurt for a while

2) Andre Johnson- may be top 5 this year with Scahub connection

3) Moss- was his preseason a typical Belichek tactic

4) Marhsawn- the undisputed #1 in Buffalo.. beat his 1.0 YPC he had in the preseason

5) Schaub- a steady QB who wont be top 5 but could be top 10

On the way down:

1) Ronnie Brown- a bad or below average RB on a bad team

2) MJD- sharing carries... for all the reasons posted on the countless threads here... not a reliable starter

3) Maroney- Can;t trust Belichek.. Heath Evans got the TD today and Morris saw a lot of action. May not be the undisputed every down back

4) Thomas Jones- with the QB situation in NY, they will stuff the box...

5) Reggie Brown- even if McNabb isnt bumped down, the Eagles spread the ball too much to make Brown a relaible start or top 20 WR

6_ Reggie Bush- unless you are in PPR, he also isnt reliable enough to trust each week

Too early to chnage ratings:

1) McNabb- didnt play well but 1st game back from an injury...needs more evaluation

2) Portis- looked good enough considering he hasnt played in a while

3) big Ben- its easy to look good against the Browns

4) SJax- easy for me to say now but I never thought he was a top back in the mold of a LT2, Emmett, barry.. just happened to be #2 last year in a weak RB class... nonetheless, cant lower for one bad week

5) Delhomme- maybe higher, but is he reliable?

Bad Game but shouldnt change ranking

1) Lee Evans- went up against Champ... I'd give him a pass

Buy Lows:

1) Brees

2) SJax

3) Lee Evans

4) Santana Moss

5) portis- will get stronger, played a great D

6) colston

Sell High:

1) Lav Coles (this is his peak rating)

2) chris brown (if someone is dumb enough to buy)

3)

 
Dont agree with the sell high on L Coles. He had a solid year last year, and is the main option in the Jets O. Granted, he is not a WR1, but he can be an effective option at WR2 and definitely as a WR3

 
don't agree with T Jones....Pats have a tough D and good gameplan. Way too early to give up on him. Also I don't think anyone was expecting consistency from Bush, so I don't see whats changed.

 
We have to see what's up with Chester Taylor but I could see people getting too crazy about Adrian Peterson's performance. This could be the perfect time to move him. For the right price of course.

 
Evans is a no brainer. You really think you can get anyone to let that stud go after just 1 game?

Id say for buy low:

Brandon Jackson - received bulk of carries. Will be asked to run the load.

Lamont Jordan - Is he really a buy low? Well, looking at todays line and how he has been asked to perform, I think he can only do better from today. After todays performance it seems he could really be a RB2 for the year.

Cedric Benson - He will only better his performances from today

 
Eh? Did you watch the flow of the game on why Maroney didn't get the TD? It was in garbage time long after the outcome was decided. I agree that he's got some risk due to the number of options available however he wasn't specifically pulled at the GL.

 
Buy Low: Chester Taylor

It would be wise to cuff AD as he has not played an entire season yet without an injury (in college that is).

I'd be lining up to buy....not sell. Brady is too damn smart, you can't even blitz him now because each time the Jets did he smoked them by throwing to Randy in single coverage. He will do that all season long.

I'm an Evans owner and I have no plans to part with him. He was wide open having ran past the defense and Losman botched the throw on what would have been a 60 yard TD. Tack that onto his stats and he wouldn't even be in this thread.
 
Buy Low:

Reggie Brown- True Curtis seemed like the #1 WR today but Brown had a large # of games like this last year. He is a GREAT red zone threat and had a number of games last year with 2 catches and 1 TD. Not saying he will be a stud this year but certainly still at least WR3 material and most likely WR2 material.

I'd go after Curtis for much cheaper than Brown will cost you...
 
So glad not to see Ronald Curry's name here as a sell high yet.

Most of us bought super duper low to begin with. (So people's thinking isn't going to dramatically change. At least for those I tend to play with).

After the way he finished 2006, I was real surprised how far he fell in drafts for this year. Kid reminds me a lot of Hines Ward.

Cover 2 + Ronde Barber took Branch out of the game. The guy was targeted in the endzone a couple of times. He is still Seattle's #1. I think you can get him for peanuts right about now and he should make a very nice #3 WR.As for Moss, sell high when everyone still has Minnesota on their minds. One game doesn't make a season, and remember how much New England/Brady spreads the ball around. I'll take a preseason stud WR like TO, Steve Smith, etc. instead of gambling on Moss to continue what he did today. Brady was passing at will all game long, and it could have been Reche Caldwell out there making some of those catches.

Sell sell sell... that Lions secondary may be the worst in the history of the modern NFL. They couldn't play for the Wolverines. Now that's bad.

See Curry the final 4-5 games of 2006......it isn't the product of bad secondary. It's the product of finally getting the oppotunity. If you want to sell high, get a RB2 for him. How many are giving those away? Not many, so stand pat.I see no way that Ronald Curry won't be a PPR monster this year. Something along the lines of Lav Coles.

I don't agree here. Evans got the TD when the game was out of reach and Maroney wasn't in.Morris was indeed there a bit, and Faulk on 3rd downs, but Maroney is the guy. I think he got spelled more often than usual since it was hot as blazes at the Meadowlands - trust me, I was there.

What stats? In non-PPR and non-decimal scoring leagues, he scored a zero. That said, I expect this from Evans - at least 4 or 5 games of uselessness this yea, several games where he has 3 catches for 140 yards and 2 TDs, and maybe - MAYBE - one game this year where he is targeted enough to accumulate more than 6 catches.All that said, Champ Bailey shuts people down and I am not worried quite yet - you spent way too much for Evans to sell him low simply because he faced the best shutdown corner in the league and was shut down.

 
I'm thinking of selling both fast Willie P and Big Ben high now. Their offensive line didn't impress me a bit.

Ben's TD's came from from mostly obscene field position created by great defense and very inept offense by Cleveland. Cleveland was able to get a good pass rush against Ben and he was forced to throw the ball away a lot. He threw for a total of 166 yards despite the Browns handing them the ball over and over again. I know it's just one game, but mediocre stats were only bolstered by the 4 TD's

46 yards of Parker's yardage came from 2 carries and if those were subtracted from his total, he got 63 yards on 25 carries, a 2.52 average. This is against the Brown's run defense folks! Halfway through the game I'm saying where is Parker! No TD's either! On top of that they had pooper in on short yardage situations.

Now the good news on all of this is that they have a soft schedule the next few weeks, so at least I don't have to make a snap decision, but I'll be watching next weeks game close. I don't think either guy has gotten any worse, but I do suspect that o-line.

I didn't see the whole game, but when I checked off and on, I saw him matched up against bly more than bailey.
 
Witten

I actually targeted him in most drafts and still ended up with him in only a couple because of some really strange TE runs

You're not going to get a lot of passing yards when you have a 17-point lead in the first quarter. I am not saying you are wrong but to start selling based on this one game is dumb.YOU were the one saying the Steelers were going down this week ala Michigan because they supposedly didn't replace key players. You were a bit off the mark so maybe you should hold onto Ben and FWP rather than overthinking and screwing your team.
 
Sell Curry

I've seen it a hundred times before.........the Lions defense has a way in making opposing offenses look great.

Same can be said with Lamont Jordan. You probably saw their best games of the season today, I'd sell them.

So those carries dont count?? If you take away LTs TD pass and his one TD run, he was Jesse Chatman today. Do we get to do that in this game? One of the nice things about FWP is that he has the ability to break the big run. The fact that he got big chunks on 2 carries is a tribute to his ability to break the big run. That ability can turn an otherwise mediocre game into a very solid one - as it did today.

If anything, I expect to see FWP incorporated more into the passing game in some of their more competitive contests, and pad hsi stats with receiving yards on top of the rushing yards.

Also - I dont see the logic in selling Big Ben right now based on the fact that his 4 TD were the result of his defense putting him in good position. He still had to close the deal, and the fact that the Steelers gave him the ball to pass in those situations is a great sign. The fact that his D put him in good FP is probably the reason he had so few yards.

This offense has a chance to be very good this season. Seems to me like all of the parts are in place. I wouldnt be selling any Steelers right now myself.

No offense, but did you see the game? Just curious.The Titans were ripping off huge chunks of yardage on the road against a tough Jags run D even when they were in obvious run situations where everyone knows Fish is gonna play it conservative. The OL were getting a great push and opening huge holes in a varied attack using misdirection and taking advantage of the DEs and LBs keying on the QB.

Also, you note that CB only had one more carry the LW. LW got the majority of his carries early. I think the coaches saw that CB was more effective and that's when he took over, getting the lion's share of carries down the stretch.

This is more of the same from last year, imho, only better. My only reason to sell high on CB would be durability concerns, which I honestly have with every RB. Otherwise...I say play 'im.
