Um... Steve Smith already has more yards and TD's than all of last year with 2 TD's coming from more than 50 yards. Oh, and he is second in the league in receiving yards trailing only Welker. For where he was drafted, I am pretty sure he would currently be the definition of a sell high if you could find an owner that wanted to get a part of the Cam Newton love.
Potentially but he was gone in the first/second rounds of most redrafts. Owners will want more than he's worth right now.
I believe Stafford is performing like a large number of posters here thought he would if he could stay on the field.If you are at all a fan of Strength of Schedule, it starts to become meaningful about now. Of Detroit's remaining 11 games, 7 of the remaining matchups are more favorable than all five matchups so far (i.e., Weeks 1-5), two are subpar (unfortunately, one is Week 16 vs. SD at home) and the other two are middle of the road. SoS is hardly the be all and end all of analysis, but these numbers at least suggest there is little reason to suspect Stafford's value so far has been inflated based on opponents.More importantly, while Best ripped off two huge runs yesterday, Detroit has shown an inability to run in the red zone, and to me, that makes the QB someone to target, not trade away. Talent -- checkSupporting cast -- checkSchedule -- checkScheme (run/pass balance, etc.) -- checkOutside of potential injury given the history with Stafford, there is nothing to suggest he is performing well above capability in this first third of the season.
judging by his numbers, i'd agree. but from the eyeball test, he's looked like the fastest, quickest guy on the field each week. as long as carolina is throwing 30+ times a game, i don't see smith dropping out of the top ten... i say thank your lucky stars you got a WR1 with such a late pick, and unless your team has a major need or has great WR depth, hang on to him since anyone who has him is probably dominating the league in WR points...
Why? I think his current production is sustainable. He may even improve as the season goes along... He looks good and Dalton looks good enough to keep Green as a top 20 receiver going forward.
I'd be surprised if anyone shipped one of the Bronco receivers for anything of value right now. might as well hang on to them or cut them for a waiver gem. for what it's worth, i couldn't move lloyd in an auction/contract league for two weeks. he was the 15th highest paid receiver in the league, so probably slightly overpaid, but not bad. i finally had to cut him to make salary room for bowe in a trade. other owners didn't even want him.
I doubt it's too late to acquire him. He didn't look good on Sunday after making slight progress each week... I'm sure most of his owners are struggling and willing to cut their losses with him.
I have McGahee and I think he is a buy low. The Denver schedule against run defense has been brutal and while Denver will use Tebow as the goal line back McGahee is going to get more carries with a run 1st attack led by Fox/Tebow.
While the bolded seems obvious, I'm gonna w/hold judgment on that. One of the rationales for McGahee getting the nod over Moreno is that Fox trusts veterans more. Why would that all of a sudden change at the GL? The QB he purportedly didn't trust/like/whatever is gonna get the rock in the scoring zone instead of a vet he brought in?
What's the case on Moreno buy low... Are others seeing more of the same that we saw last Sunday with Moreno as scat-back in Tebow offense?
I'd note as well, if you have Stafford and are afraid of injury, you can pickup Hill as a handcuff for the price of a roster spot. Look at the numbers from last year, the dropoff from Stafford to Hill is very small. This isn't true for most other top QBs. The drop-off from Brady, Rodgers or Vick to their backups is steep, but not the case with Stafford.
True but I still think most Mendy owners are really down on him. I think he will produce nicely the rest of the season.
It all depends on who your other QB is. I just sold high on Stafford last week and got Maclin and Best in return. I have Vick as my main QB and just snagged Tebow off waivers. I am happy as a pig in #### right now. Everyone's team is built different so it's tough to make blanket statements.
wow...in the same exact boat...Vick, Stafford and just snagged Tebow.
