Post season: Who ya Buying?/Who ya Selling? (1 Viewer)

Disagree, the longer you wait on selling Redmond the closer to coming back mendenhall will be.
Fine, then at least wait until redraft starts up so they can hype him up as a RB2 sleeper

Jonathan Baldwin is someone who will dramatically increase in value after this season. Get him now before camp news starts spreading on him being a beast.

I've seen some hype on Bennett lately since he joined the Giants. Will Eli make him better? Honest question here but IIRC he didn't impress when given the opportunity in big D. Dropped passes, missed assignments. I don't recall was he a better blocking TE?

I'm hopeful.Better, winning atmosphere.Tougher coachBetter positions coach.Strong group of vets.We shall see.
What opportunity? Witten hasn't missed a game in how long? PFF has Bennett ranked very highly as a blocker by the way.

Well checing his stats they are not too bad last year 17 catchs on 26 targets. 144 yards. His most productive year was 2008; 20 for 27 283 yards and 4 TD's.Add that to better coaching and a good blocker... I'll watch him.

The hype on Bennett is likely tied into situation more than anything else. Bennett wasn't going to supplant Witten in Dallas but has been hyped as an athletic tight end who can be a factor in the passing game and is a better blocker than most believe. He isn't as good of a blocker as Witten (which can be said of a lot of tight ends). The Giants like to throw to their tight ends. Given their strength at wideout a good tight end has a good chance of putting up some numbers as he won't get major attention from defenses due to Nicks and Cruz. The Giants have been able to get by with overachievers that aren't nearly as talented as Bennett (Pascoe, Ballard, Beckum, Boss). The hype on Bennett is because he's a more athletic and complete player than any of those guys and is stepping into a peach situation. That being said, it's all hype at this point. Bennett has to prove he can deliver but he's in about as good a situation as he could land.'GECKO said:

I've got a motivated Mendenhall owner in my league who isn't RB rich. Hopefully I can move him there. However if I ship S Jax and or/Bradshaw I may keep Redman out of necessity. Basically, I'm selling RB, just don't know which one will be bought first!'moderated said:

Great summary.

Guys I like:
By Position:
QB...guys I'd want Luck/Stafford/Newton/Rodgers/Bradford/RG3/ young upside. Rivers/Eli/other. Maybe tannehill if he drops to #12 pick.
QB Alex Smith value should increase w/ weapons. Sell to SF WR owners mid season.
QB Russell Wilson long term...Sell when he scores big.
QB Palmer should have a good year. Hold then sell.
QB Locker/Ponder/Dalton/Weeden/have upside. If they start that's good. I'm in 2QB league.
QB Cutler should have a better year.
QB Freeman should have better year. Surprised by his bad year.
RB Ingram's value is low,
RB Javid Best value is low but is medically cleared. Could probably get a deal on him...don't pay too much obviously...may not last long.
RB Vereen. Upside, talent and could be NE #1 RB. But it's NE.
RB JCharles I think he'll be fine after injury.
RB Forte's value could be low until he signs etc. Good player.
RB Hardesty...value in the tank. Only handcuff. Hold and see if he gets moved to new situation.
RB BLOUNT value down, perhaps he moves to new team in year or two with Martin OR good handcuff to Martin.
RB Hillman DEN RB..McGahee older, lots of comp but he's a good player. Other Jerimiah Johnson perhaps.
RB Ryan Mathews if owner isn't as big on him.
RB Edwin Baker if Mathews gets hurt
RB David WIlson NYG good and evaluating RBs. Value? I don't know could go #5 in our league.
RB Doug martin TB I like him to start in TB. I own blount so it makes me sad.
RB Spiller RB long term guy in Buff. Closer to 50/50
RB LaMichael James: Could do well as rB3 in SF. has upside and speed. Stronger than he looks.
RB POLK in PHIl was hurt has upside. You could do worse
I think a lot of the WRs are valued accurately in my league (or over valued).
WR Nicks if injury= buy low situation
WR DJAX I own, value is low and capable of much better numbers. Boom/Bust bugs me. Advise against as WR1. Needs to be WR3 w/ WR1 upside some days.
WR AUSTIN injury could = lower value for upside.
WR COBB like upside long term.
WR Decker I own... likely hold and keep.
WR DHB: could have bigger year. Still skeptical but doing much better.
WR R Wayne: Could be had cheap for 1-2 more years. Solid WR for young QB.
WR D. Avery: could do well if he' has his speed.
WR L MOORE WR3 in NO better than WR1 on some teams.
WR Marvin Jones CIN
WR Mohamed Sanu CIN
WR Lester Jean HOU
WR Greg Childs MIN
WR Austin Collie could be good INDy's WRs kind of like crap shoot of STL WRs. Who will emerge?
WR Chris Givens STL
WR Steve Smith STL
TE I like Jimmy Graham, Gronkowski, Hernandez, V Davis, Top Guys.
TE: Finley, Fred Davis, Pettigrew good
TE: Cook has upside.
TE: Fleener rated high...but so was Lance Kendricks last year. As was Kyle Rudolph.
TE: ALLEN Waldman's RSP loves this dude more than Fleener long term.
TE: Julius Thomas could be sleeper in DEN...project. Only like 4th year of Football. I know the Trainers from PSU. college team.
TE: Gates...I'd sell, I own him and Rivers but injury keeps him out of games. I have Hernandez.
TE: Tamme in DEN probably upside w/ all of the talk going to Decker/Thomas.
That's what I think.
I generally try to wait until value increases and trade the player to front runner making a title run.
2011 I traded Willis McGahee...for #1 ranked team's 2nd Rounder 2012 and 3rd Rounder (3.09). But if he won the league he'd get my 3.02 pick. If he didn't he'd get my middle of three 3rd picks and if I somehow won the league he got no picks back.
It was tiered where I bet on his success. Gave him incentive where guys are usually trying to screw you over in a trade. I get the #12 overall pick for McGahee. I'm looking at Tannehill/Isaiah Pead at that spot. Not too bad.

I generally make title runs.

pump the breaks on the Marty B bandwagon:
(KFFL) New York Giants TE Martellus Bennett (hamstring) has not been participating in organized team activities because of a hamstring injury. Tight ends coach Mike Pope said Bennett weighed 291 pounds last week and does not think Bennett's legs can support that weight while doing the things the team has asked him to during workouts.

Probably just some muscle he added during the offseason.
Is he trying to become a reserve DE or LT?

i agree i am a gore and Sjax owner and have been trying to trade one of them. theirs values are low. I would rather keep and start them this year
Black&Gold
Footballguy
Agree with SJax and Gore. I acutally think SJackson could have a career year under Fisher. Gore will still be used heavily and should see his receptions increase back to the norm. Turner will still be the bellcow but I see the Falcons going pass first this year. While Turner doesn't catch many passes, his value will be in TDs. As for FJax, I think he'll play second fiddle to Spiller. Spiller between the 20s and bring Jackson in the red zone. You really can't get much for FJax or Turner though. If you are playing for this year, keep SJax and Gore. If you are playing for future years, sell those 2 for what you can.

Question - How does a real life NFL defense focus on shutting down one WR on a team with great passing ability and great depth at WR and TE (like New England, Green Bay, etc.)? Wouldn't the other receivers be able to have a field day against a defense that played like that?

I think that buy was in large font and bolded.
