After touting McGahee and Andre Johnson as "buy low" type of guys over the past few days, I really go to thinking about this week 2 bye situation. I orginally chalked it up as a plus as the guys now have more value due to the fact that they can be played every week while other players get bye weeks. So while this might be nice to get you through week 10, what next?
This week really wasn't a real bye week for the teams. They practiced like any other week only to have the game called off a day out. How fresh are these guys going to be down the stretch and during the FF playoffs? We hear players every year say how huge the bye week to rest, recover and refocus.
Taking a look at the FF playoffs for these two teams...
Houston
Week 14 @GB
Week 15 vs Tenn
Week 16 @ Oak
Baltimore
Week 14 vs Wash
Week 15 vs Pitt
week 16 @ Dallas
Those are some tough games. I have a hard time thinking either Houston or Baltimore (Don't jump on me Homers) will be in serious contention for a playoff spot come week 14. While at the same time going up against teams who will likely be in the hunt or playing for a first round bye.
I'd still be on board with these guys for the next 8 weeks or so, but that might be the right point to unload. or am I over-reacting to this week 2 Bye?
