Worth more? I'd guess Mathews
Who would I take? Ingram.
Who would I take? Ingram.
An argument can be made either way. I'd rather have Ingram, but neither are worth enough to act like there's a big difference between the two.
2-3 Calvin owner checking in (4th/12 in points, 9th in standings, bad luck on matchups)
I wouldn't sell very low.
I own each in multiple leagues and the two together in one league.
Tough call, but I've been valuing Ingram more highly.
Disagree.
6.0 yards per carry through the first two weeks. And it showed, it wasn't a fluke or broken plays or great blocking, he was kicking ### and taking names.

Agreed but he's going to get 9-12ish carries a game and minimum receptions. lot's of sub 10 point games with that usage.

Whoops, misconstrued this as a deep sleeper thread for some reason.

The Gronk/Hernandez model is back where the killer has been replaced by Wright. Get Brady while the price is still cheap.
Alonzo Mosely

Doubt it. Own him in one league and if I held him this long I'm not selling low.
MattFancy

Agreed. He should be back next week, so if an owner had held onto until now, I don't think he's going to sell low on him.
Absolutely.
I might be bias as I drafted the guy and started him from week 1, but I held him and people have made offers along the way...didn't even consider a single one.
I tried to grab him in another league...that owner was not at all interested in anything I had to offer, either.

I still think Victor Cruz has some buy low potential. Also--I'm just forecasting here---but if Romo has a bad game in Seattle this week--which is very possible--I would automatically put him the buy low category for next week.

I'm looking at Colston and wondering if things are going to get better or if this is the inevitable decline happening some people have been predicting the last few years. Can't decide which side of the coin to land on that.
People fully expect offenses and offensive players to struggle at SEA though. Romo's season has been just fine, what we expected, no reason to believe it won't continue like that. I don't understand how a bad week @ SEA could possibly make somebody a buy lowjvdesigns2002 said:
(In many leagues/typical scoring, Romo is QB12 right now...that's about right, isn't it?)

I actually expected Romo to be a top 5-8 fantasy qb this season going into the season--and I believe that he's trending upwards as the season progresses. However--with Romo--much of the fantasy community feels that he's untrustable. One bad game--and he goes from being a decent fantasy qb to being a "trainwreck". if he does have a bad game against seattle--I assure you that many of his owners will abandon much of their loyalty towards him. In fact--there might be a buy low window now--ahead of the seattle game--as Romo owners might fear what happens in that game.
Agreed. I'm trying to buy low on Marshall. The Marshall owner in my league needs a TE so I'm trying to deal Terrance Williams and Delanie Walker for Marshall and a bench RB. Might be too low though.
I'm looking at Jason Witten. Value is rock bottom but I think that's more because they have faced the 2nd, 6th, 7th, and 9th worst defenses for TEs.
Four of the next 5 weeks include the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 8th BEST match-ups fantasy-wise for tight ends.
I also think that teams are going to start piling against the run to slow Dallas down and that will open up the passing game. Witten hasn't lost anything this year. He's just being asked to block more. I think that if teams are susceptible to the tight end he's going to be featured more.

Who do you play with that you think they will panic and sell low on a guy because he plays at SEA next week? That just doesn't seem to make any sense.

I am going to say Allen Robinson. About #20 in WR targets overall and # 9 in the past 3 weeks. Bortles will get better as the season progresses. JAX D stinks and there should be lots of PPR garbage point available. I am not usually high on rookie WR but I like this situation alot.

I don't think we are seeing eye to eye here. Many people that drafted Romo expected him to be a top 5-8 fantasy qb. According to your own stats--he has performed at QB12 so far--which to a lot of Romo owners is under-performing and possibly disappointing. Many fantasy owners who own a player that is not performing to their expectations may very well be motivated to sell that player prior to a matchup that they view as being very tough. I'm not sure how this dynamic is considered unique to the leagues that I play in?

Agreed. As a Stacy owner, I'm trying to sell but without success. He might be running well but there's not enough volume with Cunningham
around, and he has a tough schedule coming up (oh and he's dinged up). I'm finding he has not much trade value - people don't see much upside and don't think he's very talented.
Hopefully not too many.
FFC has his ADP as QB10 with the next three guys after him as Newton, Kaep, and Griffin.
Top 5 is asking a lot when you have Manning, Brees, Rodgers, Luck, and Stafford as basically the consensus top 5 and then Newton has been top 4-6 (varies by scoring of course) every season of his career to date. And then of course Matt Ryan with both WR's healthy

I think its the opposite....sell price is pretty good now and the risk that KRob is still going to be part of the committee looms large.

I agree with your top 3 for sure at draft time. I think most would have put luck in the 4 position--and ryan, stafford, cam, romo--somewhere in the 5-8 range. Prior to the football regular season starting--many (including myself) predicted that the cowboys defense could be one of the worst defenses in the history of the league--and that the cowboys would be playing a lot of "catch-up" or be in a lot of shootouts because of this. This catch up generally tends to be a treasure trove for qb's when it comes to fantasy--so lots of fantasy owners saw some very high potential value here. Part of why I think Romo is still a buy low is because I'm still not sold that they are as solid as a team as they appear to be. I see lots of room for this "playing from behind dynamic" and "shootout" type games in the future. The cowboys still play the giants twice, the eagles twice, the redskins once, they play the bears, and the jags all before week 15. Aside from seattle this week--the only other game where Romo might not be a solid starting option is against Arizona--and frankly--they don't intimidate me much. If it comes to a buy low window--anybody that is interested in romo should either look to make a move now--or to hope for a bad game on Sunday and then act accordingly. The cowboys schedule the rest of the way appears to look very favorable to Romo in regards to fantasy.

Mark Ingram is a MUST HAVE player for the long haul..
final 6 weeks of the season, games against Ravens, Steelers, Panthers, Bears, Falcons, Bucs..
typical fantasy playoff weeks ( 13-15) in bold..
I mean really, can it get any better than that..Panthers/Falcons are home games, Bears on the road..
Chicago Dec 15th, perfect time to pound the Bears the running game..
for this week, I'd say Randle if available, J. Hunter

Marshall is a guy I'm targeting heavily.
Also foles is Another guy that I want. Chip should get that offense performing at a high level sooner than later

Who would you recommend the rest of the way....Ingram or Moreno? Both are available in a short bench league.

I'm trying to buy low on any of Foles and Newton and possibly Big Ben, although he may not be considered "buy low".
Mainly because my qb sucks and they are the only guys out there that I still think could salvage some upside as the season goes on.

Moreno is intriguing as a buy low candidate right now, IMO. I was hoping someone would mention him as I am curious to hear thoughts on his outlook ROS.

Storm for the Jags, and Hillman for Big Den
My #2 guy that I'm trading for this week is Victor Cruz. He's 27th in targets but is 7th in YPC (among the top target leaders). As the Giants offense rounds into shape, with people now having to defend both Randle and Donnell, as well as a re-surging ground game with both Jennings and Williams, I think the field is going to open up a bit for Cruz. I would not be surprised to see him make the jump into the top 15 in targets ROS and add 6-7 TDs to his already decent yardage rate per game. For reference, I was able to trade Cooks for Cruz this past week (non-PPR... in PPR I'd rather have Cooks).
His schedule is also pretty good, with JAX, WAS, PHI, and two games against DAL left.

Bishop Sankey. Greene was DNP two days in a row. Up next: Jacksonville.
Incorrect. Many people that drafted Romo HOPED he would be a value pick and a top 5-8 fantasy QB. He was solidly in the QB10-QB15 range preseason. Big difference as if they expected him to be a top 5, they would have drafted him top 5.

I expected Romo to be a top 5-8 quarterback that I could draft in the 10-15 range. I expected Dallas to need to pass much more frequently and not have the running game that they have.
