Ray Rice as a possible buy low?
I've had an offer sent to me in my keeper league, Matt Forte for Rice. Forte is a high price to pay, but the guy always starts the year strong and then injures himself. I'm thinking about it seriously.
What does everyone thiounk? Would you value Rice higher than Forte in a keeper (6 player keeper)? I may go back at him and ask for a 3rd round draft pick as well as rice.
Wow, I;d much rather own Forte than Rice at this point. Rice still has Pierce to worry about and Rice's upcoming schedule isn't exactly great.
As for some buy low targets this week for myself, I'm fishing for In PPR Redrafts:
Tony Romo - In leagues where I drafted Wilson and/or RG, he's definitely one of the QB's I'm trying to target, most that drafted him either did so as part of a QBBC or even a backup and I like his upcoming schedule for the rest of the year.
Ray Rice - Not sure if he can be bought too low, all depends on the owner's team record and roster. But in the right scenario he can probably be had right now as long your willing to part with some quality.
Knowshon Moreno - People still seem a bit weary and shaky about him as a RB2 moving forward despite his production so far, I'm definitely trying to acquire him in the couple of leagues where I missed out.
C.J. Spiller - Yes, I'm a bit of a sucker for this guy, just love his talent and believe that he's too good not to breakout soon enough. Things look bleak right now with the lack of production, f-jax stealing touches and the injuries, but I view it as a perfect storm to buy low.
Danny Woodhead - Similar to Moreno for me, his trade value is probably still lower than it should be despite his recent production.
Marques Colston - The targets, receptions and yards have been there, and so the TD's will come soon as well. Colston also seems to have a knack for turning it on late in the season, good target right now.
DeSean Jackson - Still a top 10 WR IMO and coming off of 2 disappointing weeks opens up the door for a potential buying opportunity. The upcoming 2 matchups with the Giants has some serious FF potential for all involved.
Mike Wallace - Tannehill's looked solid this season, I expect him to start clicking with Wallace soon enough. Tannehill has good arm strength, Wallace has the speed so sooner or later Wallace is going to get going. Only annoying part is that he's prone to having complete duds some weeks,
Hakeem Nicks - Eli loves Cruz, the whole world knows it. Nicks looks a little slow out there to me. I still expect better days ahead and the potential for a trade to a better situation would be huge for his FF value. Might be worth a shot.
Antonio Gates - I love what McCoy's done with this passing game, and again like Woodhead and Moreno his owners might be thinking "sell while I can" and if I needed a TE I would certainly be interested.
Players that I own am looking to potentially sell high in PPR Redrafts:
Andrew Luck - Had hope that this might be his huge breakout season, but he's still too streaky/inconsistent during games. He's also had some nice early matchups and the schedule gets tougher moving forward, especially during the short-term(SEA, @SD, DEN, BYE, HOU) before it eases up again.
Trent Richardson - His YPC has been disappointing, but thankfully he's found the endzone in each game with Indy so far. Again similar to Luck, if I'm sitting at 0-4, 1-3 or even 2-2, I'm looking at the upcoming 5 weeks and I'm probably looking to move him for an RB with a better short term outlook.
Kenbrell Thompkins - With Gronk's return looming in 1-2 weeks and Amendola apaprently not too far behind, I'd look to sell Thompkins. It sounds as if Gronk might be out again this week though, so maybe he's a hold for one more week.
Dwayne Bowe - Maybe more of a "sell while you still can" situation, but I'd definitely be shopping him around.
