Buy Low / Sell High (1 Viewer)

[beavers]

I'm trying to sell Dominic Rhodes to the Addai owner as we speak.I have maroney and he has Dillion. I'm scared of the Indy RB situation...

I imagine he is too. Are you trying to give Rhodes and get Dillon?

Yes, I am trying to get Dillon and give him Rhodes.Doubt he will go for it though.

I think Deon Branch may be a sell high. WRs that switch teams rarely do anything the first year with the new team. Branch didn't even have an offseason with Seattle

Reggie Bush is the guy I'm looking to move.

Unless you can get a top 5 RB in return you might want to think twice about trading him.

Yeah, tell that to Donte Stallworth who singlehandedly made me 0-1 in my big money league.Sometimes WR can make the switch if the system is similar.

Selling high on Stallworth and Lewis might be a big mistake. These guys could be in store for big years

I agree on Lewis. However, I just don't trust Stallworth yet. He's let owners down a lot in his career thus far. I think if you could work a deal to get a more reliable WR, then you should pull the trigger.

For those talking about selling Gonzalez or Winslow high I have one question for you. Unless you drafted two top notch TE's, which most do not do, who are you going to target in return? Nobody is going to give you a better TE than either of these and if you upgrade a WR then you just shot yourself in the foot at the TE position. As for people picking up on Winslow and gameplanning him, people have been trying to do that for years with TE's that are their teams #1 receiver like Gonzales has been many years, Gates has been the last couple of years, Sharp the year he was in Balt., Heap, and others.

Colston perhaps

I wouldn't buy Cadillac. It's only week one and already he is having durability issues. Look for that to continue.I would buy Big Ben though.Not sure I'd put Frank Gore or Jamal Lewis in the sell category. Jamal played against a tough Bucs D and had 4.33 yards per rush. That's pretty impressive. With McNair keeping D's honest he might have a good year especially since he was drafted in the majority of leagues around round 4/5.

Week 1 Buy Low / Sell HighBuy Low:- DeShaun Foster (CAR)

I strongly disagree. Historically, DeShaun Foster has always feasted on the worst rushing defenses in the entire NFL and looked lost against even a mediocre rushing defense. Atlanta was the worst rushing defense on Carolina's schedule. Two of Foster's three career 100 yard games came last year against Atlanta. If Foster couldn't run this week, he's never going to be able to. If you have him, sell him while you can before he goes all Kevan Barlow/Kevin Jones on you.

Normally I agree with your posts as you use solid stats to back them up, but I disagree here. This current Carolina crew does not come out the gates fast and without Smith stretching the defense there weren't many holes. His production was quite good in the first half, in the second it became a game of catch-up. I was encouraged that he tallied ALL of the carries. Eventually the Panther defense will be very stout and Foster is going to get his.

Stallworth never had a QB like mcnabb, id hold onto him.

Also, is there anything to be said for Atlanta's defense getting BETTER since last year?Or should Foster perform the same way this year against them as he did last year?

One guy I'm pretty nervous about right now is Donald Driver.If the Pack is this horrible all year (and there's no reason to think they won't be), the switch to Aaron Rodgers will be more "when" than "if".And as soon as those whispers start, DD's trade value will slip, and probably both quickly and dramatically. I'm real worried about being left holding the bag when the bottom drops out.

That's a good point, but his reward will be so high if they continue to stink it up and still hang with Favre. Tough call. If they lose to NO this week, and DD has a big game but rumblings of Aaron Rodgers start, then it might be a good sell high time.

I agree with most of the guys on the buy low list, but I don't see this as being realistic after a week unless you have extremely panicky owners in your league. I also don't see owners getting so excited about guys like Pennington, Moulds, Bryant, etc...that they would be willing to go HIGH for them. I know you guys are going to jump on this since you can see that I'm a Packer fan(avatar). I'm from WI and have been a Packer fan from birth. I honestly don't think I'm being delusional when I say that I really don't believe that Favre will be benched this year. Whether or not he should be or shouldn't be is irrelevant. He's a legend in football, but he's an even bigger one in Green Bay. I also don't think that Favre would have even considered coming back this year if this was a possibility.(I would be shocked if this wasn't discussed)Anyway, Green looked solid yesterday. Considering how bad the O-line is and how good the Chicago D is, I think this is a good sign for Green. He looked strong, ran well with no holes, and caught a few balls. I'm assuming that he represented very good value in most peoples drafts this year. I was able to pick him up in the 6th round in one of my 12 team redraft leagues. I doubt you could get anything near his actual value if you tried to trade him. Too many concerns about injury and the Packers in general. You could possibly use these things to grab him for a reasonable price however.I think Driver should have another solid year. The ONLY way I would give up Driver is if I believed Favre was heading towards the bench, but I just don't see it happening. Favre is not the problem with this team. Last year injuries killed them. This year it's inexperience. If any of you have actually been watching the Packers(both the first game and preseason) you would be watching Favre running for his life. This O-line is terrible.What I was surprised about yesterday, was how bad the defense looked. Last year they were actually pretty solid. They were making Grossman look great yesterday. I posted this stat on Favre in the GB game thread yesterday:(last years INT's)INT in games when leading 4INT in games when tied 2INT in games when trailing 23Favre is always going to try to win. He doesn't care about the stat line. This is part of the reason why we have loved him for 15 years and why he can be frustrating. BTW, for the most part, I have stayed away from drafting Packers. I personally just want to enjoy watching them, but like I said, Green represented too good of a value to pass up and Driver is a very good WR that is going to be targeted a ton this year.Let the begin!

 

[ericttspikes]

I'd add McGahee to that buy low list. The Buff. run game actually looked ok on the road versus one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL. It won't get any harder than that the rest of the way.

I took a gander at the Bills messageboard and fans are already calling for McGahee's benching?? I thought he looked good too, but apparently he didn't even know it was 4th down when he got stuffed, and fans loved what they saw from A-train. I find it laughable, especialy any team ever wanting Thomas at their starter, but stranger things happen in the NFL.

I was very down on Foster in the first place, and the fact that he had such a poor showing against such a poor defense has only made me that much lower on him.

Also, is there anything to be said for Atlanta's defense getting BETTER since last year?Or should Foster perform the same way this year against them as he did last year?

The only major changes Atlanta has made to its front 7 from last year is that it added John Abraham and returned Edgerton Hartwell from an injury; however, Abraham is a 1-dimensional passrusher of the highest order who is incredibly weak against the run, and while they returned Hartwell, they lost him all over again and he didn't wind up playing. It's possible that the unit all of a sudden gelled for no reason whatsoever, but I see no personnel changes that would have possibly improved Atlanta's run defense.

Bryant should easily outperform his ADP . . . if Jennings stays healthy at LT, Smith sowed yesterday that he can get the job done . . . also, that offense made big strides when it FINALLY kicked Barlow to the curb in favor of Gore . . .

im curious as to why Mike Bell would be labeled as a sell high. i have the same weird feeling about him but no facts to back it up. is this because you think the Broncs will struggle, or because Tatum will get the majority of the carries, or some other factor?

just curious..looking for some facts to back up my hunch and move him..

i dont mean to turn this into a hijack on the over-argued Den RB situation

A few of you listed Gonzo as sell high, why do you feel that way?

Gonzo will be heavily relied upon, in my opinion, when Green isn't playing.

 

[brednbuddah]

Sell High:

Antonio Bryant

Gonzo

Deuce McAllister

not so sure about this one. Smith has shown in the pre-season and in the first game that he locks on Bryant, almost to a fault.If it weren't for a holding penalty that called back a 52 yard TD to Bryant, he would've finished as the best week1 WR with 5/166/1.

Selling Gore high I think has to do with his injury chances more then ability. Gore has always had the ability but its the injuries that will make him inconsistant..

What about "sell low" guys.

Lamont, Brooks, Moss... maybe some people didn't see the game and will go "eh, must've just been a tough day." As opposed to those of us who watched it and had flashbacks to Minny's o-line from last year..

I'm just saying, it can't hurt to shop him around. SF isn't going to be playing ARI every week, and if you can get a huge return on your investment, dealing him now can't hurt you that much overall.

 

[scratcher]

What are the opinions for stats for Chambers? Won't he just get double-teamed consistently? I don't think Booker merits much worry from other teams. Am I off-base here?

I was thinking about buying low on Moss.... any thoughts?

 

[AnonymousBob]

Why sell Bennett? He had 17 targets last week! There's no way he'll play the Jets every week but it's not as though the Titans won't be forced to pass a lot this year.

 

[Master Shake]

with the addition of Najeh Davenport to potentially vulture TD's what are your thoughts about Fast Willie Parker as a sell high.
