Buying

Eddy lacy: he has faced 2 of the strongest run defense in the NFL. Things will turn around for him soon and if I can pick him up for pennies from a panicked owner I am.

Alshon: when he gets healthy big things are going to come for this guy. Some owners that are sitting at 0-2 might be more willing to part

Jordan reed: same as Alshon above panicked owner with a losing record might take someone like clay or allen.

Cameron: Cleveland offense is accrual looking pretty good. Which is going to equal a lot of td chance for Cameron.

Selling

Ridley: if I can turn ridley into someone that is more consistent I'm doing it automatically sure there is a chance that he gets you a hundred yards and a td also a chance that he fumbles and don't play for 3 weeks too.

Bradshaw: even though he looks good it's only a matter if time before the injury bug gets him.

Foles: not really a sell high but if I can trade him away for cutler and a upgrade elsewhere I'm doing it. Foles looks bad this year has missed a lot of throws wife open guys he doesn't see. He is lucky Kelly is his head coach or we would be talking about him as a bust this year

 
Disagree with Reed, Ridley, and Foles.

Reed has been totally injury prone in his career, I'm buying his talent but not his ability to stay on the field. He's really a middle of the pack TE this year anyway so I see no reason to trade for him.

Ridley should continue to get carries, and he has a fantastic matchup next week with the Patriots being 14 point favorites against Oakland. If you want to sell high, wait until next week.

And lastly, why are we selling Foles exactly? He continues to perform, and if it's the system so be it. He's in the NFC East so he still has at least 6 great matchups left this season.

 
Buying:

Keenan Allen - Faced two strong defenses early on, should only get easier.

Eddie Lacy - Similar to Allen, he's stil a RB1

Torrey Smith - If you can get him for WR4 prices, he will provide value going forward

Victor Cruz - The Ginats are terrible, but Cruz has to do better then he is right now

Selling:

C.J. Spiller - Saved his day with 2 big plays, Fred Jackson will never go away

Zac Stacy - Just don't believe in the talent holding up and the team is likely to be behind often

 
buying :

locker - due for a breakout season with weak conference

golden tate - one of the best if not the best wr in league

selling:

aaron rodgers - ceiling maxed, bought high sell high

forte - rbbc written all over system. serious candidate to be injured, again. ceiling reached week 2, sell high immediately

I'd agree with all of this. I'd also definitely argue against selling high on Spiller. In fact, I'd try to trade FOR him, but he's not really a buy low. I certainly would never sell high on Aaron Rodgers or Matt Forte either. I see no RBBC for Chicago. I just don't see Keenan Allen as a buy low though.

Buying low:

Jake Locker is a good mention since his star has faded after Week 1.

Josh Gordon is a possibility.

Rob Gronkowski is a guy I'm looking at with a slow Week 2 after Brady only threw 22 passes.

Dwayne Allen of Indianapolis is a target after having a lackluster Week 2.

Selling high:

Darren Sproles

Antonio Gates

I think there is a strong possibility this poster has a schtick going. It isn't a good one. Just saying, I think there is a possibility that there are attempts at fishing with this schtick.

I guess I don't understand. You're saying he's going to tank now, or that simply because he won't have 350yards and 3TDs every week means you should punt?

That said, Green Bay's offense is clearly not the same without James Jones, Finley and the offensive line injuries (again) have not helped. I also think Rodgers will struggle at Detroit, possibly significantly, this week so he may be a sit candidate if you have a capable backup.

But when you take the whole season into account, he's still a top-5 QB even though the numbers he's had the last few seasons won't quite be there. But they'll still be pretty good.

You must have meant someone else instead of Forte.

Selling the two bolded guys at a low? What are you expecting to get for them?
Click to expand...
I was confused by that as well as buying Chris Johnson when Ivory has looked very good. Unless Johnson was just stuck there because of his poor Week 2.

 
why are people selling Sproles (at least, in a PPR league)? Guy looks like a beast and an integral part of the offense. I imagine if you are needy for a WR and good at RB, go ahead and sell him, but I'm riding this one out.

 
I was going to sell high after this week but with the way he is playing and that offense still is not firing on all cylinders I might be rolling out sproles, mccoy, foles, and ertz on a weekly basis

 
The RB situation in fantasy football and the NFL right now is just absolutely crazy.

Aside from the the hot pickups like Knile Davis, and the injured and possibly suspended players you could maybe somehow get and stash, who should be targeted at RB?

It's only two weeks in, someone is going to have to emerge out of this pack in the next 4 weeks as a possible Top 5-10 RB?

 
Buy low:

Cam Newton-has the best weapons of his career, and looked as confident as a passer as I've seen him look last week. I'd want to get him before he drops a monster game on the terrible Steelers defense.

Shane Vereen-still think he is the Pats back to own in games they don't win by 20+.

Keenan Allen-likely faced the two toughest matchups he will have all year already.

Torrey Smith-been disappointing so far, but he's the most talented player on the Ravens offense.

Marques Colston-zero catch games always worry people, but the Saints occasionally have these kinda games. Very possible he drops 100 and 2 TDs this week.

Rob Gronkowski-a slow start was always to be expected. Owners might be nervous about his snap count, but it is a very short term concern.

Sell high:

Matt Ryan-just don't think his protection holds up. He can carve up a bad defense but anything even average will slow down the Falcons offense.

CJ Spiller-he's a big play guy, who has hit the first 2 weeks. He's still a 15-20 guy at RB for me.

Emmanuel Sanders-can't see his targets maintaining with Welker back. Possibly the #5 option once Welker gets back to form.

Steve Smith-heavily targeted, but hasn't been efficient with his targets. That should self correct.

Roddy White-similar to Ryan. Think he is a distant second fiddle to Julio going forward.

Charles Clay-Just think he was a one year wonder. He isn't near the target he was a year ago. Wallace is looking like the #1 WR that they payed for.

I'm sorry I can't make much sense of your sell highs.

- Sell Steve Smith when he looks just exactly like Steve Smiff?

- Sell Roddy because he has Julio to draw coverage and no Gonzalez?

- Sell Charles Clay high?

What about Knile Davis?

What have you guys traded him for or seen him being traded for?

Or...

What have you gotten for him?

 
Out of curiosity, is anyone thinking about trading FOR Adrian Peterson? His value couldn't be much lower than it is right now (unless convicted) and if he does play later this year, you can't argue what he could add to your roster. Giving up a low level RB2 or even RB3 could do it.

You honestly think he's going to play again this season? If so, will he have his head in the game and be effective?

Torrey has always been big play dependent which doesn't bode well for consistency and now you add Steve Smith who is his slightly better clone sucking up touches? No thanks.

People are in complete denial of Cruz. This is the EXACT situation that was taking place for 14 straight games last year. I feel his head is no longer in the game. All sorts of drops and half azzed routes. Blame the team, blame Eli, blame whoever but no one should want any part of him right now. It's all name and no game.

Stacy does have talent but he needs the supporting cast to succeed. It's not there.

I totally agree with the rest of it as well. :thumbup:

 
FYI....I was trying to buy low on Ryan Mathews, but the owner wanted Edelman. If Cruz and Vincent Jackson weren't playing like crap I would jump on it.

 
Buying:

TY Hilton - maybe not a a buy low since he's posted decent stat lines, but he hasn't connected on any big plays yet. I feel a break out coming, so I'm buying.

Keenan Allen - looks good, so numbers will come.

Tom Brady - likely not another 22 pass attempt game for the Pats this season.

Pierre Garcon - Barely missed on a few from Cousins, and passing game will improve with new QB.

Greg Jennings - shadowed by Revis says it all. Belichick knows who's the best receiver on the Vikings.

Selling:

Julian Edelman - not feeling the super high usage will continue.

Jay Cutler - we've all been on the roller coaster called Jay Cutler. The line is getting shorter though.

DeAndre Hopkins - touchdown dependent so far, and soon that will even out with Andre.

 
I'm not saying Donald Brown is a buy low per se, but I think he's being underestimated.

I suffered watching a lot of Trent Richardson games with the Colts last year, but what became obvious is that Brown is a much better NFL back at this point. People are spending a lot of money nabbing Knile Davis off the waiver wire - and I understand why. But the Chargers like Brown, they paid him good money, and Ryan Matthews is a free agent next year. I think Brown will be a steal.

 
sell

Doug Martin before tonight's game, after it, his value is likely to drop like a stone when Rainey gets through with the soft Atl def.

Cruz, to the guy who still "believes"

Montee Ball while he's still the starter

L. McCoy - the numbers just aren't quite there.sub 4ypc avg, Sproles stealing his thunder..looks like opposing defenses have figured out Chip Kelly's rush attack..this is likely a trend with McCoy, not a thing of bad matchups or whatever..sell sell sell

R. Cobb

buy

D. Brown - likely a much bigger part of SD offense even when Mathews comes back.

Chris Ivory - Jets #1 rush offense, and that will continue. Ivory has been a beast thus far

B. Rainey - see Doug Martin above..

B. Quick - running game struggles mean more passes needed for St. Louis..Wes Welker type of PPR stats.

Cody Parkey - Eagles can move the ball, can't score TDs..enter Parkey, a top 5 kicker in the making.get.him.now.

Someone offered my Colston for him, but this was before the news that Charles is practicing. I might accept the trade with the latest news...

 
Some one offered me AJ Green for Charles. Deal is still on the table but I'm hesitant to accept it. Charles sounds like he could come back as soon as next week, and AJ Green has an injury of his own.

Agreed. Not like this is just a slow start. This is more of the same problem that goes back a ways.

Yea, the day before week 1 I traded Charles for Julio/Julius Thomas. I saw the writing on the wall.

That trade just won me the league. I've been blowing people out every week and ahead by 43 already before playing Sunday's games.

Trading him now? Good luck.

I would snap that. AJ is playing this week and played through the injury to the tune of 22 points week 1. The injury happened the first quarter so all of his production came afterwards. He can clearly play through it. Charles is clearly the first-round bust this year and Green is still a top 3 WR.

The KC def is a sieve so they will be running the ball less than last year and Charles just lost his 4th offensive lineman.

If you can get anything like a top-tier WR you gotta deal him.

You don't give up on 1st rounders that quickly, like Lacy still has potential to put up big numbers, but Charles is definitely a sell-before-his-value-plummets-further player.

Yeah, I've been back and forth on it quite a bit. I had made the offer initially and the AJ Green owner declined. Then after yesterday's news about Charles practicing, he came back and put the offer back on the table.

What's got me leaning towards making the deal is what you said -- Jamaal Charles is looking like the first round bust this year (we know there's always at least a couple). Going into the season I knew he wouldn't put up the same 19 TD's that he put up last year, but he had a nice year the season before that, albeit not top-3 pick nice.

Now with the injury and the clear offensive line issues, I'm wondering if Charles, at BEST is going to have numbers in the 12-20 range among RBs.

Aside from Green's injury, working against him is the fact that the Bengals want to run run run, though I can't imagine they're going to let their top talent at WR sit there and rot.

Just unloaded Cruz in a combo deal that netted me Watkins. It feels like quitting a dead end job or breaking up with a dull girlfriend. Such a relief.

Does no one realize had Charles not sprained his ankle he would have likely had a bigger day than Davis did? I'd take 5 catches 80 yards and 2 tds all day from Charles. It's been 1 week and your jumping ship?
