Buy Low / Sell High (1 Viewer)

[Sabertooth]

Kenny Britt might be a sell high. His touchdowns were both razor thin with the long one coming off a shot-put type of pass from Hass and the Jags D looking like the three stooges out there.

 

[JamesTheScot]

If you can sell Britt really high, I would. He had a joke of 80 yard td and is known for completely disappearing for games. Not even value but if you can get a Larry Fitzgerald type for him I would.

Can't get a handle on Britt.Like his talent but dislike the 'tude. And I still question the surrounding cast. I know it's early in the season, but I expected a bot more from Hass. Britt's other catches looked pretty good in isolation, but his overall stat line isn't nearly as impressive without that one freaky play and he isn't going to get a TD every week. So I tend to think his "normal" day in Tennessee will look more like the stat line without the 80-yarder than with it. That won't be a bad year, but I get the feeling many are pegging him for solid WR1 performance rather than solid WR2 performance and someone who needs a WR1 would be willing to take the chance on him.

Would you guys give up for Bowe as a buy low? Is Tate to the Foster owner too high a price to pay if you have good runningback depth but issues at WR?

Personally, I would not even contemplate trading Bowe for Ben Tate for more than .5 seconds. He is a backup RB, backing up the NFL's leading rusher from last year, who practiced fully today. If you can get Bowe for Tate, you HAVE to make that trade, and then pour a glass of champagne to celebrate it.

If someone traded Bowe for Tate in an of my leagues I would be fuming. May as well trade Big Ben for Shaun Hill.

Well, I pulled the trigger so let the fireworks begin. Now, where did I put that bottle of champagne...

Posted in other threatd, didn't realized this existed.

Just wondering what people are looking at as good, quality buy lows. There were several high round picks that under preformed this week that I was looking at:

Manningham

Panicked Charles owners

Panicked CJ2k owners

Fitz

Deangelo

Harvin

Bowe

Mathews

Felix Jones

Dez

Panicked Gore owners

Panicked Mendenhall owners

With that in mind, who seems to have the best upside with the caveat of being relatively easier to get...i.e don't think anyone would be willing to give up Mendenhall, CJ2k, but maybe Bowe or Felix.

I'm thinking about selling High on Reggie Bush and targeting one of the above...thoughts?

Charles is interesting. He may be the high pick that owners would be more likely to panic with. Panic isn't a bad thing if it saves your hide. If it's the early 1900's and your ship just hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic, you might be justified in ignoring those who claim the ship is unsinkable and all will return to normal.He split carries last year and scored well. So this season he gets bumped because people can't believe that Haley won't use him more. Haley just has too, right?

Except that Haley indicates otherwise. And there's the tougher schedule this season. And then McCluster gets some touches in the opener and is a similar style back. And Charles doesn't score much against what looks to be one of the better match-ups he'll see this year.

So Charles does in week 1 what every Charles owner secretly feared but bet against...

So with Charles it doesn't look like a fluke, it's looks like the prophesy that might actually come to pass.

So does a Charles owner who KNEW there was some risk with that pick ride it out or do they try to move him and take advantage of someone who thinks that week 1 was just a fluke?

 

[Shutout]

Anyone happen to have a thought on whether JSTEW is a good/bad buy low at this point? Seems like a lot of times people get buzzed up in the offseason and then when their guy isn't the starter, all heck breaks loose in the early part fo the season and they get forgotten..But DWIL has been nicked up at times (and they actually play JSTEW anyways). Any chance he could be a second half of the season darling?

Kinda thinking it is just going to be a diminished year for Charles. Not saying he won't be good but all the things you mention are kinda against him this year.

 

[tommyboy]

That reminds me - Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb (if you actually drafted him in a redraft) sell high. Too many targets in GB.

Not sure about Jordy Nelson......he definitely looks like the 2A-2B option with Finley, behind Jennings. Can't see how Nelson doesn't continue to get a nice piece of that pie. Should be a decent #2WR going forward. Should end up with something like 72-1000-7 stats. That said, we now have a great opportunity to use Nelson in a 2-1 type deal and get an elite player.

would you trade jordy nelson straight up for kevin kolb?

Hey guys,

How about this? Both of us buying low I guess. Also tell me what you think of the deal.

Ppr 6 pts all tds

I give jamaal Charles

I get Vincent Jackson and beanie

He offered it to me.

 

[dagwood]

Interesting. Probably depends on your roster and scoring rules.

 

[wiscstlatlmia]

Adrian Arrington? From the talks of the audible last night...its worth a shot for me. I trust them

Editbvious im talking about him as a buy low.

I'd keep Charles.

I don't know much about Adrian Arrington. Who is in front of him on the depth chart?

 

[eaglesfan7]

My lineup is strong:rb1 Charlesrb2 Hightower (he's okay right now)wr1 Fitzwr2 Austinwr3 Kenny Brittflex Jordy Nelson or ManninghamI look at it like he's selling High on Beanie and I'm buying low on Vincent Jackson. The time is now to get VJax in all leagues as I think he'll only improve from last week. I'm not sure I believe in the Chiefs this year with a much tougher schedule and no Charlie Weis. Not trying to turn this into a trade help post but I thought it was interesting that we were both selling players in a different way. I'm obviously looking to deal Charles before the Chiefs implode. Anyone else a doubter of Charles this season or am I on the wrong path?

As a genearal rule, with the strength of your roster, it is you who should be looking to trade 2 good players for 1 stud. I actually really like this trade, though, because I've been high on Beanie and low on Charles...I would like like hell to move Britt, though. I want nothing to do with Tenn this year.

 

[eaglesfan7]

Crazy Tony,

looking forward to your Week 2 'targets' post.

 

[atcdav]

Did I buy low or sell low? I gave Hillis and Hernandez for Chris Johnson and Manningham

team #1 below

 

[Run It Up]

Did I buy low or sell low? I gave Hillis and Hernandez for Chris Johnson and Manninghamteam #1 below

At this point its a pretty even trade leaning his way. But honestly id rather have Hillis and his easy schedule and Hernandez over CJ2K and the giants #2 unless im super thin at WR

 

[eaglesfan7]

No chance. I'll take cj2k and Manningham all day. You sold high on Hernandez and bought low on cj2k. Good work. And Aaron just got hurt.

 

[atcdav]

Knew about the injury. A Pat homer wanted him since he would only be out 2 weeks

 

[eaglesfan7]

Right now is the ultimate time to buy low on cj2k.

Also a good time to grab Vick as people are probably afraid of his slight concussion.

 

[NoGum]

You're right about Vick. I was offered Vick for Cam Newton and Lance Moore in a non ppr. I'd be surprised to see many offers like that in other leagues, but it's just an example of people being a little scared about Vick.

 

[footballguy#1]

buy low on Big Ben?

 

[ChuckLiddell]

buy low on Big Ben?

I think it is a perfect time to buy low on him. The defense may be getting a bit old, and they may start to give up a few points on weeks in which they dont play Seattle. This will create more opportunities for 4th quarter passing stats. The WR corps is young, fast, and good with Wallace/Sanders/Brown. Ward is still relevant, and Cotchery (their 5th WR) would be starting on a few NFL teams. He hasnt started out the season on fire, but he has elite skills, and great weapons. Only knock is the OL which may get him killed before he can win you a title, but thats a chance you take.

 

[rascal]

Is CJ still a buy low or is he in the avoid catagory with DeAngelo?

Any other potential targets?

 

[LittlePhatty]

Is CJ still a buy low

I'm quite sure most owners will sell him for pennies on the dollar.He'll have batter games this season but based on the way he has looked so far, I don't expect him to return to "studly" status anytime soon. With Britt out, CJ might pick up some stats though. Munchak and Hasselbeck have made this an entirely different team compared to the Fisher years.

 

[cubbie5150]

I'm trying to start talks w/ the CJ2K owner in my league. I know he wants to move him, just not sure I have the bullets to get it done. Gonna try trading from my good/decent WR depth + my depth of crappy to mediocre RBs

 

[Timmay]

What other RB's besides CJ2K are people trying to target as buy low candidates after week 3?

 

[RCon]

What other RB's besides CJ2K are people trying to target as buy low candidates after week 3?

Ingram?

 

[Instinctive]

Ingram?

That's who I would say. Although you may be better off getting Stevan Ridley - looks to be in a similar situation in NE where he'll be more useful as the year goes on, and WAY cheaper. Less immediate production, but I think the price may outweigh that (heck, he' son waivers in a lot of redrafts)

 

[shadyridr]

hakeem nicks is a great buy low imo

 

[footballguy#1]

What other RB's besides CJ2K are people trying to target as buy low candidates after week 3?

Steven Jackson?

 

[Superbowl Shuffle]

I'm making a run at Brandon Marshall this week in a PPR league. Hoping to get it done for a borderline RB2/3 type following a down week (vs Haden).

 

[Crazy 88]

I'm making a run on Starks after Sunday's performance. Have a trade pending to acquire him for S. Moss.

 

[oldmoney]

What other RB's besides CJ2K are people trying to target as buy low candidates after week 3?

Pulled the trigger on Foster... straight up for Stafford (ostensibly my #2 QB). Best case, I'll coast to championship with this move; worst case, I'll have to QB shuffle between Roethlisberger and Newton.

 

[Scooter71]

Have been trying to lure Chris Johnson away from his owner for two weeks. He's still holding out hope that he will get it turned around, so he's sitting tight for the moment. Can't blame him since he spend over 25% of his auction $$ on him. But as I told him, the more lousy games he puts up, the less trade value he'll have.

 

[The Doctor]

best has a bruised thigh and was limited on sunday. some may see this as the beginning of the end. who knows - just throwing it out there

cedric benson is dirt cheap if anyone cared

 

[KPBruin]

buy fred Jackson low ( if you can).he's going to be a stud fantasy RB this season..

buy low:

Ben Tate (if you can get him)

Anthony Armstrong

E. Dickson

J. McKnight ( how long will the Jets stay with Shonn Greene and not give someone else a shot?)

Kolb

B. Gibson

N. Burleson

Niners defense

Sell High

Rex Grossman

Jamaal Charles - it's going to be a very long season in KC...if the Chiefs can't sustain drives Charles won't get his numbers, he won't produce at a level anywhere near his ADP..the loss of C. Weis was on full display yesterday, I think this offense will struggle this season...

M. Stafford - he can't possibly stay healthy, can he?

M. Vick - Eagles' o-line was shaky and Vick did a lot of running which eventually might catch up with him

I have been holding on to Armstrong for a while now thinking he would be a decent contributor this year. Alas, he seems to be fading into oblivion. As for McKnight, I really think LT and Powell will end up getting the carries, with potentially Powell being the lead next year. I drafted him in a dynasty for that very reason and I hope it shakes out that way.

 

[The Kuhn]

Anybody selling high on McCoy? Think he can continue to prosper while the rest of the Eagles underperform?

 

[fred_1_15301]

McCoy is a beast. Wouldn't trade him for anyone other than maybe Rice, ADP or McFadden

 

[Winning IS Everything]

In a dynasty league I sold Steve Smith(Car) for Steve Smith(Phily) and a 2012 1st rounder (likely Top 5).

 

[Mistabishi]

I'm trying very hard to acquire Dez Bryant and/or Miles Austin. Its interesting that Dez hasn't proven anything but his owners still have him as an elite receiver. I think I'm going to give up my dream of buying low on him.

Comments/Additions?

Tampa mike yes. I won't touch gore in that offense. Rivers yes. Cj2k I'm not sure about, especially without britt. I wouldn't sell high on Fred Jackson (real, no fluke dynamic offense with a good oline). I wouldn't sell high on steve smith (bad defense constantly trailing and must throw, qb huge arm to throw downfield, still has elite speed). I'd probably sell Daniel Thomas but Reggie bush can't stay healthy and the dolphins will feed Thomas 20 to 25 touches per game. Just my opinion of course.

Bowe has to be the most underrated fantasy wr of all time. All the guy does is consistently put up decent fantasy pts. Yet he's always perceived as underperforming. I don't get it.
