Dynasty WRs - Buy Low (1 Viewer)

Team Legacy

Footballguy
Nate has had a great comeback year for a kid with high hopes just a few years back. If you were like me, a few years ago, you were scooping him up in the WR8-10 area, the Steve Smith area at the time, and feeling great about it. Well things went well for him financially, signing the lucrative contract in Seattle, but he hasn't made an impact... until now. He's looking good guys and I think we'll see even bigger and better things from him in the future, whether that's in Seattle or somewhere else. In THE MOST crowded WR corps in the league, he's managed 50 balls and 9 TDs ranking as the 33rd best receiver in the league, a servicable WR#3. I think you'll likely see good things in the playoffs from him and the price will go even higher. If you have the chance, deal for him now.

Other buy lows:

2. Jerricho Cotchery - Is it just me or was this the QUIETEST Top 20 WR season in the history of the NFL? 82 catches last year, 82 this year. He reduced in TDs (6 to 2), but his YPC went up a full 2 yards! That's huge. Consistent receptions is big for me, and a better Jets offense, McFadden?, lands him in the end zone more next year. I think Coles is near the end of his Mangini run, so a healthy Cotchery could be dangerous next year. TALK TO THIS OWNER NOW and feel them out on JC.

3. Anthony Gonzalez - Price won't get much lower. Once Marvin retires, the price skyrockets. I'm sure it's understood and partly built in to his value now, but once it's official, Gonzo's value vaults.

4. Sidney Rice - Another wide receiver COUNTING on a QB to come in and save the day. I like when I See a receiver seperate from the CB right before the ball lands. He stretches out and he'll make a WR1 in the NFL. He just needs that deep threat arm. If the coaches know what's good for em, they'll go out and pay for one this off - season.

5. Darrell Jackson - This one hinges on Alex Smith. Do you believe he has what it takes to be a starter in the NFL? Crazy as it sounds, I think I still do. I blame the offensive line for most of their troubles this year and I like what I saw from a healthy DJack near the end of the year. I think we may have the DJack from old back next year if, and its a BIG if, Smith returns to form. I'd take the chance, the reward outweighs the price.

6. / 7. Ted Ginn/Greg Camarillo - I have this feeling Brian Brohm will be tossing it to both of them left and right and every which way next year. We'll see if that's true, but no matter what, Parcells has to bring in a QB to get these guys the ball. They'll be behind a lot next year regardless. Camarillo is likely still on the waiver wire and is probably more on the DEEP SLEEPER list than a buy low list, but I like when a kid makes big plays and 2 straight weeks, he made them. Ginn is explosive and I think he'll prove in time to be much more than a WR3.

After these playoffs, don't say I didn't warn ya about big Nate.

Todd Heap and Mark Clayton values are probably not going to get any lower than they are now (actually they are probably a bit higher now that Billick has been fired).

 
I cut Burleson earlier this season after coming to the conclusion that he's just not special enough to ever hold stable top 30 value in a dynasty league. Maybe I was wrong though. :shrug:

I like the Mark Clayton, Anthony Gonzalez, and Sidney Rice calls. All of them have the skills to move up the board. Rice appears to have a very high ceiling.

I'm lukewarm on Ginn.

Camarillo is a nice story, but he wasn't even a starter at Stanford. I'll be surprised he stays on the roster, much less becomes relevant in fantasy football.

Concur on Ginn, he really improved in the second half of the season. Camarillo will be 26 when the season starts, and by accounts only made a couple big plays all year.

Agreed. When I went to post Ginn, I thought what the heck, I'll throw Greg in there too, but like I said, he fits more of the Deep Sleeper list to stash away if you have no other options. Playmakers are playmakers.
 
Who went largely unnoticed for the most part?

-I was a big fan of Mike Walker in the preseason, and he could still be on the waiver wire.

-Jackson was mentioned, but I think the guy in SF to watch out for could be Arnaz Battle. Jason Hill is also a name worth mentioning.

-Clayton and Heap were mentioned, but don't forget Demetrius Williams.

-Michael Jenkins isn't the most talented fella, a natural WR3 on a team. I like Laurent Robinson a lot.

-Jacoby Jones is a candidate, but only if the Texans can't resign Andre Davis.

Who are guys that may cost you something of value, but could pay HUGE dividends next year?

-With Martz out, and the injury, I think Roy Williams is a potential candidate.

-Donald Driver is unlikely to catch only 2 TD's again. Owners will remember that more than his 80+ catches and 1000+ yards.

-Cotchery is mentioned, but how about Coles? Those that drafted him in the 6th felt shafted. Hopefully the trainer will better set up the table so it doesn't collapse when taping him up before a game next year.

Wasn't it just last year that D.Hall said that Jenkins was the most difficult WR to cover and was glad that he was on his team? I think he said he reminded him alot of Fitz.

Nice, I wonder if Jenkins reminds anyone else in the football world of Fitz?
 
Nate Burleson is possibly the worst 1,000 yard receiver in NFL history.
That is what I was thinking as well. The premise of the topic is correct, and if that be his sleeper, so be it, but this guy is miserable, and only did 'well' this season because of Hasselbeck and injuries to others.

People probably were saying that about Wes Welker too..
 
edited to add Cotchery and Rice. -- Feeling REAL good about JC next season.
I like both of these guys. Others I like:Laurent Robinson - ATL WR2 for a long timeMike Walker - could be Jax WR1 as early as 2008Chad Jackson/Jabar Gaffney - one should be the WR3 in NE next yrBrandon Stokely - if JWalker is traded, Stokley is startingJacoby Jones - could emerge with Andre Davis a FA and could break out in 2008Jerry Porter/Curry - both could win if Porter signs elsewhere in a good situationThis is a good thread, Legacy. Thanks for putting this together.
 
Jacoby Jones

Steve Smith (Giants)

James Jones

Chris Chambers

Santana Moss

Sidney Rice

Calvin Johnson

Lee Evans (2 great years, 1 bad year. I like those odds)

Stokely is interesting. Can Stokely be a legit #2 is the question. I like Marhsall a TON if Javon goes bye bye, Scheffler skyrockets up my board if this is the case. I've heard alot of talk about Laurent, need a better look at him. I'm so tired of waiting on dependable WR play from the Raiders.. they're cursed.
 
Jacoby JonesSteve Smith (Giants)James JonesChris Chambers Santana MossSidney RiceCalvin Johnson Lee Evans (2 great years, 1 bad year. I like those odds)
ooh, good ones on this list. Lee Evans epitomizes buy low. Dynasty trading can be tricky, but if someone offers me a player like DeAngelo Williams for Lee Evans, I probably take it, but only due to the QB issues there in Buffalo. Evans with a QB is Top 10 no doubt in my mind. RBs have a very short shelf life.Santana Moss is another intriguing buy low. Getting guys like this turns out to be gold, just remember to sell them after their GOLD season. Moss is an on again, off again player.
 
Nate Burleson is possibly the worst 1,000 yard receiver in NFL history.
I would think Furrey 06, or Antonio Bryant 05, or Ashley Lelie 04, would win that award, but that's just me. Please, whatever happens, let's not turn this into an argument. The last time we disagreed, you argued with me for a week how Brooks would be a stud in Oakland.

Matt Jones dammit!!!

I also suspect Justin Gage has a decent contract and a starting job next year somewhere.

Finally, I would take a look at Koren Robinson and John Broussard in deep leagues ...

Welker had 3,000+ receiving yards at Texas Tech. Camarillo had 614 yards at Stanford.Don't overthink this one. He just isn't that good.
 
Tyrone Calcio, Charles Rogers, David Boston, Michael Clayton.............

I am intrigued by Mike Walker. With Jones likely departing (I think he would be a good fit in Philly as a #3) and weak competition, I think Walker has an opportunity to enter the lineup. Garrard is proving to be more than the "I won't lose it for you" QB, he is actually making many plays with his arm.

Also Mark Clayton may be had a good price. IMO has the skills to be a good FF starter. Hopefully for him and his owners, Baltimore brings in a coach that will utilize him.

Santana Moss had an off year and should continue to develop chemistry with Campbell in the offseason.

Roscoe Parrish is a WR I have always liked, but the Buffalo offense is....well, offensive.

Chris Henry is a huge talent who is a buy-low (although I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole). If you like risk he can be had for the cheap.

Paul Williams for those that think Vince Young will ever have a producer at WR.

Robert Meachem...eh

Bobby Sippio may translate his skills if given the chance in KC. Herm is "throwing away" the playbook.

I'm dumping Curry in my dynasty leage because there is no way Russell will be able to consistently get the ball to anyone in the next couple of years. Sadly his talent will be wasted as Porter gets the ticket outta there.

That is a little premature IMO. Granted he struggled, but we also saw his FIRST NFL game action. After an offseason and preseason to prepare, I am willing to bet that he makes significant strides next season.
 
Taking flyers on Devin Hester, Mark Bradley and Bryant Johnson.

Not substantial upside (probably WR3's), but all are intriguing for this offseason's FA period to see how things shake out.

Two Bears WRs?? I'm a Bears fan, and even I'm not that brave :lmao:

Obviously you won't hit on both, but Moose is good as gone. Rumors persist Berrian is likely out (though as a Bear fan, I can't see him really see him leaving for nothing). It isn't that likely you're going to hit big on either Hester/Bradley, but that they do have nice opportunities heading their way. Bradley can be had for peanuts. Likely on the wire in a number of dynasty leagues. Hester may not be anything but a slot WR. However, he's going to get his opportunity. And someone of his caliber & ability, there's no telling what he'll do with it. Upside, as stated previously, for either is probably WR3. But they're sitting there right now in leagues as WR8-10 types (Bradley) and WR 6-7? types (Hester). There are worse guys to take chances on IMO (ones that'll probably cost more).

Don't get me wrong - I love the Hester idea, especially if Turner ever learns to stop running those John Shoop-like screens to him - with his speed, he has looked much better on simple fly or post routes. If your league rewards WR's with all the TDs they score, even better. I just think Bradley has had his chance and has shown he is unable or too often injured to be anything more than a bench player.

That could win up being the case, but it's just not that exciting of WR FA crop (and add to that the Bears have many other issues to address and put $$ toward).They could always bring in someone cheaper like Bryant Johnson of Arizona. (I'm just not convinced he'd be an upgrade over Mark Bradley). I'd love to see Muhammad gone myself (I see don't him being the type to take what he's worth. Probably 1-1.5 million).I'd like to see Olsen featured more first and foremost (sp). I don't think it's essential to go throw 3+ million/year on someone like Stallworth/Bryant Johnson (as I think if that's the case, you should pay Berrian -- who is closer to a #1 than the other 2 previously mentioned).While some of the calls to Hester didn't work out, I actually like the whole idea of getting the ball in his hands anyway possible.

Dwayne Bowe '07. Oh wait He only ended up with 995 yards. Never mind. Maybe Herm knew what He was doing. :popcorn:

He's the ultimate sell high. Only reason he's gotten the playing time he's had is because there's only been 2 games that Branch and Hackett have played together. He took advantage of his opportunities but he's still the WR4 on Seattle when everyone is healthy. Unless you're banking on consistent injuries next year, you're wasting your roster slot.

Evans is too up and down to be a true top pick per se, a good WR#, yes, but to inconsistent to be a WR1 or WR2.Steve Smith(Giants) is the wrong WR on the team to focus, the one you want is Sinorice Moss..he'll be a 3rd year WR next season, and he's been working into the lineup slowly but surely.once he figures out how to catch the ball, he'll do well..Chris Chambers is a nobody, always will be..James Jones will be a future Pro Bowler, he is deadly.

I completely disagree. Smith is just back from injury... has some of the best hands and runs great routes. Last week in crunch time against the Pats, Eli continued to look to Smith and not Moss (I'm not even sure if Moss was in on all that much). If anything, when Toomer goes, Smith takes his position since he's more of a possession guy. Smith, IMO, is the WR to have on the Giants right now and he can be had at a reasonable price.

Along the same line of thinking, I took a gamble on Rashied Davis.

I also think Sin Moss is a great "buy low".They have been working him into the lineup.I don't see him flying under the radar for too much longer.
 
Any thoughts on Johnnie Lee Higgins from Oakland?
He's the WR3 right now. Didn't get a lot of opportunities this season, but could get more targets in the future. He has speed and has flashed decent hands (went behind himself to snatch a laser out of the air in week 16). A longshot with some upside.

:confused: I think Smith may be one of the most under rated guys going into next season. Injuries killed his season this year, and he's got that possession label tagged to him. He's 6'0" and 197lbs and ran a 4.44 at the combine. Same build as Driver, Ward, Jimmy Smith.....Toomer is going to be 34 next season and isn't exactly Harrison, Rice or Owens, and Sinorice Moss has failed with his opportunities. I don't know that we'll see 1000 yard season next year, but I think Smith is a great buy low.
 
Smith got a lot of praise in training camp and is a natural WR who will eventually make an impact. Nevertheless, I'm not really excited about his FF prospects since he never really struck me as more than a future #2 WR. I saw him a lot in college and he never looked like a guy who had the dynamic qualities needed to be a perennial 1,000 yard WR. Maybe I'm wrong though.

 
Nate Burleson is possibly the worst 1,000 yard receiver in NFL history.
I disagree..I watched Seattle alot this season and was very impressed with Burlesons speed and after the catch running.
:goodposting: Didn't watch a ton of Seahawks' games this season, but always LOVED the guy in Minnesota. Would have been nice to have him in purple this season! He is underrated and has good hands and deceptive speed.
 
In many leagues you'll probably find Hackett valued just a little more than Burleson, especially after this years total #'s. Thats the SEA WR you want.
