Buy low:
QB Candidates
Matt Ryan - Wait until a bad game to do so, but he looks like the real deal. Good coaching goes a long way for a QB's development, and ATL has found themselves a gem.
Drew Stanton - The theme is buy low. Calvin on the outside, this guy can be had for peanuts. Not saying he will amount for much, but with his running ability he may be just what the Dr. ordered in DET. Then again...it is DET.
Joe Flacco - Coming off a poor performance...wait...he is a rookie. Big arm, quick release, and some mobility in the pocket is what you look for in young QBs. Reminds of a more aggressive Big Ben at the same age.
Matt Leinart - This thread is about cheap buys with upside....right? I was NEVER a fan of Frat Boy, but with Fitz and Boldin (hopefully) this is a recipe for QB success. Owners are willing to take a well made sandwich at this point.
Brady Quinn - Still cheap if you believe he is the next coming of greatness. I do not...to each his own.
Matt Schaub - After seeing Rosebuds light up Indy until the debacle, it is great time to buy if you are a believer. I am torn on this one, I can see Matty being nothing better than top 15.
RB Candidates
Ryan Torain - Captain obvious. Risk/reward...for me...I will never touch the DEN running game. BUT..he offers high upside at a reasonable price.
Felix Jones - The only reason this guy is a buy low is the fact that he is not the starter. Test waters on this one...dabble...see what it takes.
Ray Rice - I know what I saw in college. You may be able to stash him for a good kicker.
Darren McFadden - Injury prone..who knows. If you believe the time is right. I don't think this guy has the vision to be elite but that is for another day.
Stephen Jackson - If this team improves SLIGHTLY...you missed your shot. If you likey, put out the feelers. I love this guy especially in PPR.
Jonathon Stewart - No better time than after DWill blows up. JS is still the goal line RB and will continue to improve.
Chris Johnson - NOW. Granted he is not a buy low...BUT he is coming off a mediocre game vs. BAL and has a bye this week. Find the owners weakness and make the offer.
Ryan Grant - Perhaps the biggest buy low. I will admit, I am not sure at all about the Packers running game. Lumpkin looks like he may be the best cost/reward at this point.
WR Canididates
Anthony Gonzalez - One catch and a cloud of dust last week. May be the best opp to get him before he establishes as Peytons Robin (to Waynes Batman of course)
James Jones - If you are liking buy now. Driver = old. (same can be said for Jordy Nelson at half the price...maybe waiver...I like Jordy more FYI)
Dwayne Bowe - Has not explode yet. After Hot Carl and Hazing Herm are exterminated..Bowe has a chance at being a star. Not cheap...but at a value price.
Devin Thomas/Malcom Kelly - Zorn appears to know what the heck he is doing. Pick one and try to reap the rewards.
Braylon - obvious
Tired.............Good luck!
