Buy Low Canidate? (1 Viewer)

[War Eagle]

Your thoughts on these Buy Low canidates I am targeting.....

1. Cadillac - week 4 bye, sputtering so far, but offense has only scored 3 forcing PASS PASS PASS

2. T. Bell - still splitting carries, but M. Bell hasn't pulled away and one game could make TB the weekly #1

3. J. Jones - Week 3 bye, Barber just snaked a TD

 

[Big Score]

1. Cadillac

 

[The Contrarian]

Gado. Had as many yards as the other Rbs on that squad in jus 3 carries.

 

[gbill2004]

Lamont Jordan, and Ruben Droughns are also great buy low RBs.

Kevan Barlow could be a sleeper buy low as well with the surprising Jets offense so far...

 

[Blackjacks]

Clinton Portis

 

[David Yudkin]

Wouldn't really want any of the guys mentioned up to here.

Clinton Portis

Don't think you'll be able to "Buy Low" with Portis.

Trung Canidate?

I couldn't disagree more,of course it depends on who you are parting with to get aplayer like Caddy or Portis,but from a long term dynastystandpoint, most these players represent great value, if you canacquire them now for below market rates.In a redraft, values of these RBs are slightly diminished, IMO.

There are reasons all three of these guys qualify as "Buy Low" candidates. The reasons why they're "Buy Low", are also the reasons why you shouldn't buy them.

I have tried snagging Caddy but in both leagues both owners still want a ton for him. If you can get him for a value take him. He may have a couple more bad weeks so I didn't press to hard. I think when he goes on bye is when I will force the issue.

 

[Ron_Mexico]

I think LaMont Jordan's value takes a permanent hit

because opponents will beat the trash out of the Raiders weekly.

As for Caddy, I think this is a great opportunity to acquire

the top pick in last year's rookie draft.

Is value may mever be lower than it is right now.

Buy Low canidates

Damn.

I am thinking about going after Tatum Bell as well. Tater just looks so much better than mike he has got to take control.

Don't all players have value?

Comments for redraft only, not dynasty.Caddy - Wasn't high on him to begin with, current situation only lessens his valueTBell - Still RBBC for now and offense sttruggling to scoreJJones - Wasn't high on him either as he has not repeated his hot end to his rookie season. MBIII will continue to vulture work.Gado - I'm not sold he will be the clear starter any time soon. RBBC still the trend here.Jordan - Tke writing was on the wall that he wasn't getting 70 receptions. If the Raiders are way behind every game, they won't run much either.Barlow - NYJ haven't put up great rusing stats and have opted for a lot of passes. RBBC and not a productive one at that. Always a chance Martin comes back (although doubtful).Droughns - Currently has a shoulder injury and there's been talk of him getting pulled at the goal line. 2.4 ypc not exactly stellar. Tough schedule too (BAL, CAR, DEN, SD, ATL, PIT, CIN, PIT, BAL, TB) all between now and Week 16.Portis - Can't be productive if not on the field. Gibbs seems to want to hold him out until he's better (not sure what that really means). Could be a recurring problem this year. Portis owner will still think of him as a Top 5 RB. Workload will likely be lessened once he plays to keep him healthier.I suppose all of these guys might be worth a look if the price is low enough, but normally the price is only a shade off the original asking price. The true starters won't come cheap and in a redraft league unless you have injuries I would not overpay for them.

Just because a player's value is low does not make them a buy low candidate.

Putting anderson there makes this sound like a quote from last year.

Hasselbeck. Screw the O Line drama. Have you SEEN the schedule??

(Hi, I don't read topic descriptions very carefully...)

Hasselbeck. Screw the O Line drama. Have you SEEN the schedule??

dont buy him for 2 or 3 more weeks - i bet his value will be lower thenweek 3: NYGweek 4: @CHIweek 5: BYEthen ... cake schedulei often find that if i trade for a player just before their bye week, I'll get a better deal - i just can't use him that week ...

I didn't realize you were reffering to re-draft only.I tend to agree a little more with your views regarding these players in a redraft scenario.

3. J. Jones - Week 3 bye, Barber just snaked a TD

I would say J. Jones is a sell high. In my league he's ranked 13th in RB scoring and I don't think he'll maintain that ranking. I do agree with the Caddy as a buy low. He's likely to bounce back.

 

[wannabee]

i like the bear rbs as buy low. i do not know how it will shake out, but i feel confident that one of them will be very good as the cooler weather comes

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Maybe FWP after tonight's game? All the rumors of Davenport and the team's lackluster perfomance tonight may have lowered his value in some people's eyes.

I still think he'll finish as a top 12 back.

i'd almost rather roll with turner or norwood at this point

I too agree with Mr. Yudkin. All of the guys mentioned I had pegged as busts this season, especially Jordan. Taco Bell is going to be in some kind of committee (either Mike or Cobbs) all year. JJ doesn't get goal line carries and there are a lot of mouths to feed in Dallas. The Bears RB's are likely to share carries as no one has (or will IMO) distinguished themselves yet.

Crystal ball? BTW its only week 2

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Don't all players have value?

Nope. Depending on your league size and roster positions, many players will have zero value (replacement players) or negative value (everyone below replacement). For instance, in a ten team league that starts 2 RB's, Guys like Barlow have zero value or negative value.

Busts? Really? I really don't know what JJ's ADP was, so I can't comment on him, but I'm fairly certain Tatum, TJ, Benson all went very late. Had they gone in the second or third round, sure, they'd be busts (maybe, it is only week 2. so maybe not). But, given their ADP, they could be very good values. They all went fifth round or later in most of my drafts. Tatum, even with the current carry split, is still a value in the fifth round. Make the split 70/30 and he's very possibly the steal of the draft--hence, his status as buy low in many's eyes. I think you need to think more about what define's a "bust".

yes it does.

As long as they are cheap, maybe.

 

[comfortably numb]

Lamont Jordan, and Ruben Droughns are also great buy low RBs.

Kevan Barlow could be a sleeper buy low as well with the surprising Jets offense passing offense so far...

Who would you target then?

I would target McGahee. Not exactly a buy low but more of a buy him while you can get him. If the owner had a Gore/C. Taylor or someone else step forward they may be willing to deal him. He's had two good but not stellar weeks against two good defenses, Miami/NE. He's running very strong with great quickness, their QB/line play isn't nearly as bad as predicted and their defense is solid. The beat Miami on the road and came very close to beating NE on the road week 1. McGahee's value was so low due mostly to his "bad" surroundings but his surroundings don't look nearly as bad as they did before the season.

 

[Islander]

Kevin Jones



Played two very good defenses. Schedule is easing up a lot going forward.

He is very involved in the passing game so far.

He needs to stop the fumblitis however.

Trung Canidate?

What the hell ever happened to him anyway?

 

[AnonymousBob]

No, it does not. You want to buy a guy if his low value is a temporary thing. A player such as LaMont Jordan's value is low but I see nothing that would indicate it's going to increase this season. So he is a player whose value is low that you should avoid acquiring.

Clinton Portis

Clinton Portis

Because his hurt shoulder will magically get better? Because Gibbs doesn't have two other guys to share the ball with Portis?

 

[PatsWillWin]

Dynasty league, just traded Droughns for Jordan.
