Best buy low candidates (1 Viewer)

[Big John2]

In re-draft leagues only (since keepers can get very complicated), what players do you have as low buys going forward?

Here are two I am considering:

Miles Austin: He has top 10-15 potential forward, and with his two bad weeks in a row he might be available well below his value.

Jahvid Best: He was a top 12 RB until his injury, and the idea he might sit out the season has some owners scared stiff. I think he can be had cheap, and if he does play again would be a steal.

Who you got?

 

[shadyridr]

Roddy White should have a huge 2nd half

I can tell you that I've tried to sell Best cheap in a lot of leagues and the bites have been minimal. You could probably make a really good deal for him if you are interested. When I finally did get someone to buy him and Harvin for Larry Fitzgerald and Lynch, my league vetoed it, saying that it was unfair with Best's injury concerns. Damn veto happy leagues.I think the following are good buy low candidates...Roddy White - Good schedule prior to the playoffs, when it gets really tough. He may be a guy to target now and enjoy the stats, and then trade him just before the playoffs begin.Vincent Jackson - I am a Jackson owner and would sell him for much less than he is probably worth right now. This is a good time to buy him if you think he will turn things around, because owners are fed up with him.Tony Romo - He has had a few bad weeks so far, but is in a good position to improve as the weeks move on. I think he's a guy who you can get at QB10 value, and end up with QB5 or 6 production by the end of the year.Marshawn Lynch - Not a sexy pick, but he can probably be had for peanuts right now. He'll never be more than a good flex option, but he should be able to get decent production for you.Daniel Thomas - He's been injured and hasn't done a ton when healthy. He has a nice schedule down the stretch.

Man, I hope you guys are right about White and Best lol... I'm honestly not sure who is a buy low. If I had to take a few stabs...

Mike Williams (TB) - Simply because he is getting the targets for production just hasn't been playing at the caliber he did last season. I'm sure that can turn around at any given point...

Matt Ryan - His season hasn't even been half of what people thought it would be, however the team is turning it around the past few weeks. Now they are coming off their bye week AND he finishes out the season with 7 of his 9 (possibly 8 of 9) games in a dome. If there has ever been one big consistent on a scouting report of Ryan it is that he is on a entirely different level in a dome.

Carson Palmer - That first game was a fluke, while I don't think OAK should've paid what they did for the guy he will put up numbers. If Run DMC gets back and now with Houz there he has solid shot at finishing off the season well.

 

[Insein]

Andre Johnson if you can pry him away from his patient owners. I grabbed him 3 weeks ago.

Best and White are also good.

You can get CJ2k for nothing at this point if his owner is desperate enough. Might be worth a RB3 or RB4 to get him just to see.

 

[FGITLOTR]

The whole SD offense-too good not to turn it around by the time we reach the fantasy playoffs

 

[Kuz]

Roddy White should have a huge 2nd half

- this was the 1st one I thought of as well - also think you can add Matt Ryan too..

 

[jim k]

I agree with the ones listed except for Best - I ended up moving him for Deangelo Williams and I am a Best fan. If/when Best comes back, it will be as a 10 rushes a game rb. Any upside will be all in passing yards.

Adds to buy low list:

James Starks - weather gets worse and he will be the guy in GB.

Brandon Lloyd - Bradford will give him 12 looks a game. He should have 3 big weeks in him.

Roy Helu - not a guy to buy low and start right away but a guy to buy low who you can plugin when he heats up.

 

[AcerFC]

Im not seeing the Roddy White turn around. What makes everyone think he will be any better then the 7 games he has already played. Add in a healthy Julio and the fact that Tony G is getting looks and I see White scoring a lot more 10-12 point games then 20+ point games

I think I would probably agree with you. I am waiting until the day that he returns to practice and is expected to play, then I'm going to sell him on potential. I like him a lot, but I am not going to feel comfortable starting him, knowing the risk.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Holmes?

Hes been dinged up early in the year. According to all reports hes now 100% healthy after the bye. Also, he has a track record of being a stud. Their schedule gets very easy in the 2nd half which should help Matt Ryan bounce back as well. Bottom line, White has had a down season due to a lot of little things which IMO reeks of a perfect buy low candidate.

 

[TheFanatic]

Not necessarily in redraft, but in dynasty, CJ and Wayne. Both those guys were traded in my dynasty league yesterday to a guy who is 2-6 and writing this season off. I thought it was a great move for him...

 

[Sabertooth]

Sidney Rice. His production with Tarvaris Jackson at the helm has been.

OPP Targets Rec Yards TD QuartersARI 10 8 109 0 4ATL 6 3 79 1 4NYG 5 4 38 0 2CIN 10 5 80 0 3
Per Game that's about

9 Targets

6 Catches

94 yards

.3 touchdown

15.3 fantasy points per game would put him just behind Larry Fitzgerald and just ahead of Steve Johnson, Brandon Marhsall, and Roddy White.

With a little continuity these two could hook up quite a bit. Great schedule down the stretch too with the Rams a couple including playoffs.

 

[FF Ninja]

I was thinking Miles Austin and Mike Williams. I'm not a MW fan, as you can't get too high on a guy who only catches every other pass, but he's been the top target in 5/7 games, with only 1 game below 8 targets (4 in week 2). He's averaging 9.1 targets/gm compared to last year's 8.0 t/g. He's still not catching many of them, but you have to like the sheer number of balls thrown his way. The TDs could easily turn around.

Miles Austin is a little disturbing due to Robinson's emergence, but his last two stinkers have come on games where Tony just didn't throw the ball a lot (8 targets out of 59). I think he's definitely worth a buy low shot. He was a stud when he was getting 9-10 targets a game. Not sure that's going to happen the rest of the way, but it very well could as I don't have much faith in Murray or Felix.

Torain could probably be had for pennies. No clue if he'll pan out, but I'd say he's worth a shot. No one is going to want to start him against SF this week, so maybe you can squeeze a deadline deal.

 

[rizzler]

you may have to overpay a bit now, but Manningham is THE boy-low candidate for the rest of the season.

Reap the rewards, my friends.

 

[ponchsox]

Mendenhall and Fitz are good buy-low targets. I'm sure their owners are really down on them.

 

[johnadams]

I'm looking at DHB as a buy low candidate. He's been doing well, which is counter-intuitive to the buy low concept, but he still gets no respect from football fans and the recent add of Houshmandzadeh seems to have a lot of people nervous about the WR situation in OAK. He seems like his perceived value is significantly lower than his current production. I'd rather make a play on a guy like this than someone like Manningham, whose importance to the offense has clearly faded from a year ago.

You need to watch some recent Giants games my friend.Buy low.7.5 targets a game this season....Nicks 8.7/game.5 targets in the redzone this seasonnicks = 5 targets in the redzone this season.Faded role?

Matt Ryan and Roddy White will both post good numbers rest of year imo.Roddy White should reduce the drops, get explosiveness back with improved health and regain chemistry with Ryan.

 

[FF Ninja]

Matt Ryan will not "bounce back". The guy already has inflated stats. He's throwing the ball 36 times a game. He's not going to throw the ball any more than that. His 6.7 ypa is up from the last two years. People need to face the fact that this guy is average at best. Last year he had a ton of attempts coupled with a spike in TDs and a dip in INTs. This happens from time to time. It doesn't mean a guy is suddenly elite. Drew Brees IS elite and he's only come close to a 4:1 ratio once. Matt Ryan is on pace for 21/18, not far off from 2009 when he was 22/14. Matt Ryan is a poor man's Joe Flacco who gets more attempts.

I'm trying to pull him from an owner right now but is the asking price of Desean Jackson too high?

Up to you.Desean clearly has the potential for the huge play, on any play... but this season has been pretty lame.I think Manningham is clearly on the rise, has Manning's trust, and Nicks isn't healthy. I'd personally trend towards Manningham, but Im sure many others may disagree.

 

[shadyridr]

shonn greenes schedule is very easy coming up. im wondering if hes a good buy low. thinking a sell high of battle for greene makes sense

 

[RushHour]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I kind of agree on Greene, though if I was a Greene owner, I wouldn't trade him for Battle. Maybe LeGarrette Blount as well coming off injury? Nice playoff schedule.

Agree with Rice and Austin as buy low WRs.

I own Nicks and the other guy owns Vick. Would you be adverse to playing both Nicks and Manningham every week after Nicks returns?Also are you concerned about Ramses Barden still targets and GL looks? I don't know much about him other than he's a huge target for Eli to throw to?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Miles Austin

Roddy White

Percy Harvin

 

[J Giles Band]

James Starks - weather gets worse and he will be the guy in GB.

Brandon Lloyd - Bradford will give him 12 looks a game. He should have 3 big weeks in him.

Roy Helu - not a guy to buy low and start right away but a guy to buy low who you can plugin when he heats up.

Lloyd has 25 targets after his first two games as a Ram. Bradford should be back this week. And the Rams soft 2nd half schedule includes the Cardinals and Seahawks each twice.

And of course Bradford is thus a good buy low. In a lot of leagues you can pick him up off waivers. With a good WR in Lloyd, Clayton coming back at some point, a rising SJax, and a much softer second half schedule he's a great pickup.

 

[outlaws27]

Holmes?

I could see Holmes blowing up in the 2nd half of the season. He leads the league with the most targets without a dropped pass. He hasn't been the problem, but it's Sanchez not being able to find him in time. He's getting open, he's just not getting the love.Hopefully the Jets caught onto this as well, and that us Holmes owners will be able to reap in the rewards of some VERY JUICY match ups in the 2nd Half.Buy on Santonio, people!

 

[solorca]

I'm guessing it's not a good thing when almost all of your team has been listed as a "buy low" in this thread? Thank God for Lesean McCoy and Fred Jackson carrying my team.

Here are a few more that I think will be good buy low options...

Felix Jones - He probably will not be the starter when he comes back, but as we've all seen in the past, he can put up very solid numbers in the third down/change of pace role. You can probably get him for one of the last options on your roster...if not off of the waiver wire in some leagues.

Greg Little - PPR option only, but last week was miserable for him and Colt McCoy. That doesn't change the fact that he's getting 10 targets a game recently, and mostly 5 yards deep. The yards will not add up, but at some point, McCoy is going to be accurate enough to complete a five yard pass. He's a WR3 that you can probably get at WR5 prices right now.

Average number of carries for Michael Turner when Julio got a start - 16.8Average number of carries for Michael Turner when Julio was out - 27 (10 rushes per game more)Average number of targets for Roddy White when Julio got a start - 10.8Average number of targets for Roddy White when Julio was out - 7.5 (a little over 3 fewer targets per game)Average number of passing yards for Ryan when Julio played a full game - 284Average number of passing yards for Ryan when Julio didn't play a full game - 183 (over 100 less passing yards)So I'm not sure how anyone can say that Julio returning (and Roddy getting healthy) is anything but good for both Ryan and Roddy.

 

[cheese]

Tebow.... getting killed in the media for terrible football play. Still very likely to put up fantasy numbers the rest of the way. Costs next to nothing right now if you have a weak QB and missed out the 1st time.

Agree with Manningham above. Maybe VJax.

Atlanta is back to winning football by running the ball more, that is what changed when Julio was out and that isn't going to change when he is back.

No disrespect intended here, but Tebow - really? He and Ryean Leaf will be sipping the college good-ole days Kool-Aid shortly. He IS that bad, but granted the Denver front office is not doing much to support him with a little thing like - oh - an offensive front line. Would rather have a draft pick for owners looking to part company. Concur with Mario though if you can get him. This weekend with Nicks likely out will tell us a lot about the kid though - stay tuned...

 

[scrumptrulescent]

The hammy should kill the Miles Austin buzz. What about Dez, would he be a nice grab now?

 

[rizzler]

So, 2+ weeks ago I pleaded with you guys to buy on Super Mario.

did anyone bite?

2 weeks straight w a TD, a nice amount of looks, and decent yardage.

#'s will only get better, especially once Nicks gets back, to drain the coverage.

Buy if you can... at an obvious higher price than 2 weeks ago.
