buy low/sell highs (1 Viewer)

[Stryker]

Havent seen one of these for this week yet, I tried the search option and failed.

Buy lows, Schaub? Not watching any of their games but the stats are showing somethings not right.

Jennings? With Finley out does he see more targets?

Mike Wallace-get him when you can

Ryan Mathews- Is this the week, finally?

Desean Jackson? As a Djax owner I am not 100% willing to "just deal him" with Kolb last year he had big games and with Vick this year hes been solid as well, does he and Kolb find the chemistry?

Sell High

Eli Manning after this week vs Det, he still must face the NFC east defenses which are usually pretty stout. But as an Eli owner Im holding onto him and then seeing what I can get.

Matt Forte-Just dont see him being a stud consistently on a week-week basis.

Malcolm Floyd? Had a huge week vs Oakland but I guess this is just what your opinion is, I just traded him but I feel bad about it. I think he could have a huge, huge year but at the same time another thing tells me that he may not be consistent now that other teams now know he is a legit threat in that offense, and maybe they get back to Ryan Mathews a little bit?

Terrell Owens

feel free to pitch in

 

[xenon]

I just sold TO for Shonn Greene. Green gives me insurance to LT and I have pretty good depth at WR although I'm week at RB overall. I may even start both LT and Greene.

All the Carson Palmer arm issue stuff was playing on my mind and with the Bengals struggling and TO possible to implode, I just didn't like him moving forward.

I like the move to acquire Greene, but I think T.O. is the Bengals' main guy going forward..Ocho is shot.can't see T.O. imploding, he's getting the ball, he's the main weapon now..

I would sell Hakeem Nicks high, there is no way he keeps this pace up. If you can get a top 5 WR for him, do it now.

At this juncture, who are the "Top 5" WR's for the balance of 2010?

 

[AngryPatriot]

You're kidding right? NICKS IS A TOP FIVE WR, lol. At a certain point it makes no sense, turn a good team toward the worse.

Charles may be a buy low, Pierre Thomas with the injury, Mike Williams (TB)...

I believe TO leads the NFL in targets. So long as that continues (and there's no reason to believe it won't), he ought to remain a strong WR2, at worst.

I know I would trade Hicks for most of them, but I doubt anyone would trade you any of those WR for Hicks. At this point he is lumped in with that group and I feel he stay there (He is number 1 in WR scoring in my .5 PPR leauge). If you don't try make package offer for one of those 5.

 

[GManiac]

mossajaustinroddywayneif u would keep nicks over one of these 5 ur crazy

Strictly in redraft maybe. At this point I think you could argue Nicks vs Wayne or Austin honestly. Well , by years end at least when he shows the consistency that he probably will because he IS that good.

 

[fightingillini]

mossajaustinroddywayneif u would keep nicks over one of these 5 ur crazy

I don't know about that. I think Nicks is a top 5 WR going forward, and I agree with your list but substitute Moss for Nicks.I would trade Nicks only if I can package him and acquire an elite RB.

 

[tdhartis]

Beanie Wells buy low?

i think I agree with this. I'd trade moss for nicks. the other 4 (redraft), that's debatable, but not quite as likely, IMO. Nicks is a stud though, no doubt. (I don't own him.)

I feel like I screwed up by trading away Floyd recently.On the other hand he has had low games.

But now with the news that Vincent Jackson will be back for the playoffs I'm feeling better about things. Considering that Jackson himself will not be available until Week 12 maybe he is still a buy 'low' considering that there will be several weeks until then and some people may want production now. And Floyd would be a sell high off his game last week.

I agree. Nicks has some of the worst pass defenses (vs. opp WR) in the league remaining on his schedule.JAX #32SEA #28WAS #27 (x2)DET #26And the others are all middle-of-the-road:GB #15DAL #14 (x2)PHI #13 (x2)MIN #9He's ranked ahead of 4 out of those 5 guys right now, and I don't see that changing too much going forward

 

[dagwood]

mossajaustinroddywayneif u would keep nicks over one of these 5 ur crazy

Why exactly would their owner trade them for Nicks? Unless you threw something else of value in the pot.

 

[solorca]

Beanie Wells buy low?

I was just able to get Beanie Wells for Johnny Knox in a PPR. I did nice double flip of trading Marion Barber for Johnny Knox last week, and Johnny Knox for Beanie this week.I'm not 100% convinced that he is a great buy low, but if the price is cheap, like it was in my case...I think it's worth a shot.

 

[CrossEyed]

Why would you even consider selling Nicks right now? It's not like the guy doesn't have the pedigree. He's a first rounder who had a very nice rookie season and has taken it to the next level in his second season.

Too many ff owners overthink things.

 

[Steel Town]

Sell High:

Tomlinson. I think the split will favor Green as the season progresses, and you can likely get a strong return for him at this point.

Brandon Jackson. His value won't get any higher, and his game last week may lead an owner to overpay for him.

Marshawn Lynch. With all the talk out of Seattle that Carroll will lean on Lynch, I am willing to bet that he doesn't live up to the hype. I think his value will begin to decrease after the Bears limit him to 15 carries for 35 yards.

Matt Forte. He has had a few explosive weeks, and will likely serve you well as a borderline RB1. But his value is sky high right now and if you are going to deal him, now is the time.

Buy Low:

Pierre Thomas. You may have to wait a week or two to plug him in, but the Saints will rebound and PT will be big for teams in the final weeks of the season.

Knowshon Moreno. While no sure thing to produce, as the Bronco run blocking isn't what is used to be. I have to think with the potency of the passing game, Moreno will have some opportunities for big plays moving forward.

Steve Smith (NYG). With the emergence of Nicks, Smith owners may be inclined to deal him. In PPR leagues, I think Smith has strong value.

Calvin Johnson. With a sluggish start, the shoulder injury and the week 7 bye - this may be the perfect storm to acquire CJ. Owners who took him early are likely to be disappointed with his performance.

Larry Fitz. You have to think he comes around - even with Max Hall at the wheel. His value can't get much lower, with a pretty high ceiling.

This stuff always makes me laugh. "He just can't keep it up". Any particular reason why? Do you watch Giants games? Or is this a box-score induced hunch?

He doesn't against play the Texans secondary every week.

NICKS for god's sake man, not hicks. t's quite easy. There is no H.I personal would rather have Nicks than Wayne. Better redzone potential, obviously the top target, whereas Wayne is more of a #1a and #1b to Collie's 1c and Clark's 1d, if that makes sense.

True, but in his first 4 games he has 21/279/4. Which averages out to 5 catches for 80 yards and a score. Nicks has done it against other defenses as well as the Texans.

 

[Hopeless]

Surprised there has been no mention of Brandon Lloyd yet as a sell high. Might be a hard sell, though, as I doubt many owners believe he will continue to produce at an elite level. Still, he's worth shopping around if you have solid WR depth.

No, but he did play against CHI, CAR, and will play MIN, SEA, DET, PHI, JAC, WAS, and GB which aren't exactly pass-defense world beaters.

Been a very difficult to sell to get returned value in redraft. In Dynasty it is almost useless. The name Brandon Lloyd and system get used most frequently in response.

I think Nicks belongs in a category of guys that are outeprforming expectations and their peers by a wide margin but arent sell high candidates because they are the real deal. The other potentials for this category off teh top of my head are Antonio Gates and Arian Foster (and maybe Miles Austing depedning on what your expectations were going into the year).

Check my post from above. Houston ranks #31. He has FIVE remaining games against teams VERY similar to Houston........and the other 6 aren't too tough either.

 

[wadegarrett]

[Dexter Manley]

mossajaustinroddywayneif u would keep nicks over one of these 5 ur crazy

Nicks is easily better than Moss and Wayne. I would trade either of those 2 guys for Nicks in a heartbeat.I love AJ, but the problem is that he's not healthy right now (ankle). So there's some risk in trading for him.Nicks vs. White is a wash, imo. Making a trade with these 2 guys is like betting on coin flips.Leaving Austin as the only guy on that list that I would trade Nicks for straight up without any reservations.

 

[Nicolas Cocaign]

I love Nicks, I think he is definitely a top 10 WR the rest of the way. But if you can get an AJ, Roddy, Miles, Wayne for him right now, I think you have to do it. His value is similar to Arian Foster's a few weeks ago when Foster was being traded for top tier RBs (which you probably cant do now). Once he has a couple of average games in a row, that opportunity will be long gone. There is nothing wrong with holding onto him, but I think he is at his peak value and if you're going to sell him (for a stud WR -- nothing less) now is the time to do it.

Agreed. I don't trade Nicks for another WR at all. If I'm trading Nicks it's to upgrade at RB or QB. And I'm not selling him cheap.

 

[solorca]

Like Jamaal Charles as a buy low candidate

Same here. Oddly enough, I've been trying to get him in two out of my three leagues (have him in the other), and the owners will not budge. It seems like everyone is expecting him to blow up soon.

Exactly!! The whole buy low/sell high concept is to be ahead of the curve. If you have Nicks, you're already there, considering where you probably drafted him.Ride it out!!

 

[Ariakis]

I don't think JC blows up this year but he will have big games. Try to predict when they will be playing from behind and/or facing a high powered offense. When they can manage the game and play close to the vest then it's going to be the TJ show.

Right, cause that's the only good game he's had in 5 weeks.I don't think Nicks will finish in the top 5 but he'll be comfortably in the top 10, and I really doubt you'd get a top 5 WR in return in a trade.

 

[Chigurh]

Sell High:Tomlinson. I think the split will favor Green as the season progresses, and you can likely get a strong return for him at this point.

I agree, but I'm trying to figure out just how high I can sell him. I honestly have no clue how to gauge his value because some people are not convinced that he's back no matter how much evidence there is. Then there's the fact that the Jets' playoff schedule looks tough for RBs. If you're sitting at 4-1 with LT, it might not be a bad idea to find an RB or WR with an attractive-looking playoff schedule, even if that RB/WR isn't in the top 10 at his position. Figuring out what you can get for him is maddeningly difficult.

 

[PR Sparty]

I just bought Brees on the low. I think the owners that paid big bucks / drafted high are frustrated that he's not putting up crazy numbers. I just got Brees, R. Bush, and VJ for Matty Ice, B. Jacobs and Crabtree

 

[rizzler]

Funny that not one person sees Colston as a buy low.

Scooped him up last week... The TDs are going to come, as is the yardage.

 

[BringItOn]

Sell High: Ryan Torain

Perhaps not this week, but next week after facing Indy

 

[Sir Chadwick]

I've been fooled into thinking Colston would eventually come through once for me... not falling for it again.He'll have his big weeks. The problem is knowing when they are.... too inconsistent w/ Brees spreading the ball.But if you're buying low, he's definitely got the potential.

Chances of acquiring any of these guys straight up for Nicks? I'd say less than 2% in most leagues.

Not quite straight up, but I received Miles Austin for Nicks and Torain.
