If I had written BLSH this week, one of the top BL targets would have been Calvin Johnson - Im afraid he might break out this week and deny me the chance to feature him next week. Heap is also a great buy low right now. I would definitely be selling Chris Henry (CIN), seems like a ticking time bomb, and PHolmes/KSmith and Fargas if I had them on my roster this week.
I saw in the 5 Minute drill that there is not much love for Fargas. I understand why, and the reasons are certainly valid. I do not think he has too high of a sell value though based upon his history and the perception of the offense that he plays in. I am personally of the opinion that he is not worth selling right now because I dont think you can get much for him and he does have some nice upside as a potential featured RB on a team that seems hell-bent to run the ball. I also think that while there is risk involved, it makes sense to hold him for this week at home against the below average Chicago run D. If he has another 100 and 1 week, he may actually command some solid value.
I am hoping to keep him as a quality starter myself. If not for the reasons above, then because "Fargas" was the name for "Bizzaro Newman" in a classic half hour of television, and his name makes me smile every time I hear it.
Fargas!
