Perry is very talented, I like his pick. I don't get the Fason pick, however, but he's not just listing random young backup RBs. Barber and Perry make a lot of sense.

Buy "Low's", Sell "High's" (1 Viewer)

ok, i agree that Perry is talented, perhaps even moreso than Rudi, but if a guy is nowhere near seeing the field (barring injury) anytime in the next several years, is he really a "buy low" candidate?? seems like a hold strategy to me (at best) on both sides. esp considering Perry is the one who's been hurt...though i guess its easy for me to be critical when i haven't offered any buy lows of my own. here goes:Jones-Drew = i honestly think he'll be the starting RB by year end. i'm not sure his value will ever be lower. he seemed to run a lot harder (and better) than Taylor from the clips i saw last week, and we all know Fred's history....Michael Clayton = TB can't be this bad forever. rest of this year? maybe. next year, he'll be back to form...Reggie Bush = honestly, he'll cost you a ton, but his value will never be lower. Deuce may not even be in NO next year, and god forbid Deuce gets hurt this year, the Bush owner won't even take your call.Benson = i refuse to believe Thomas Jones is the long-term solutionSinorice Moss = way off the radar right now, but he's built like Santana, only faster. as a Giants fan, i can tell you Coughlin won't be able to keep him off the field next year.

I just bought low on Lamont Jordan in a playoff dynasty league. Brian Griese + Thomas Jones for Lamont Jordan. With any kind of improvement in the Raiders' offense, Lamont Jordan should have no trouble outproducing Thomas Jones the rest of the season...and he has an easy schedule coming up. I'm not a Cedric Benson believer by any means, but the fact is he's looming for Thomas Jones owners...especially in a dynasty league.Also bought low on Brett Favre after week one's performance. Michael Bennett & a 5th round pick for Favre.I love all this buyin' & sellin' talk. But I am curious to see if it is just that: TALK.How many of the dynasty posters on this thread were able to "walk the walk" and make trades this week? If so, let's see your sell high and buy low deal(s) !
I think a lot of guys are dismissing Fason too quickly. It was widely known that he was extremely raw coming out of school- he is going to take some time to develop the necessary skills. He can be had for relatively nothing and I've seen him hit various waiver wires as of late- even in a 26 person roster league.He's a guy that should be on a roster- he's a good bet to get a shot should CT go down.
i suppose if you're rocking a **26** man roster, sure, he could be on there. hell, i'd be carrying barry sanders in a league like that...

I don't play in a Dynasty but red some of these threads because I play in a keeper league and I can usuallu find some useful info here. However, I'm not sure 'buy low' thread in dynasty really work. Its hard enough to gamble on a 'buy low" candidate and have him pay off for THIS season. Buying low for a dynasty seems to be too much luck. Take a look at the orignal posters list. How many of them were listed LAST year and have they payed off THIS year? If so, why are they listed again?
ya, i get that. i'm saying he SHOULD be on a roster in a league like that. i'm saying in a league of a more reasonable size (mine is a 16 man roster), there is no way fason should be rostered. in one your size, i'd roster tony hollings, william green, ki jana carter, blair thomas, and OJ.
16 man dynasty roster? that seems VERY small. even 26 is average. I see lots of 40+ dynasty roster leagues.All depends on the size of the league of course, but 16 man really makes it hard on the "dynasty" part. I guess with 12-16 teams, but man that seems small.
fair point. you're kind of forced to carry guys who contribute to some degree each week. maybe in my league i don't need quite the very-very-long term outlook that you would in a larger league. however, i still think Fason amounts to nothing.

Turner is not buy low in any league. His owner has either had him and is eager to reap the rewards or has traded for him and eager to reap he rewards. He will cost a ton. He may be worth it, but you are not buying low.
Same thing wih Reggie Bush. He is not buy low. He was the #1 overall pick in almost every league. He looks good. He is not buy low by any stretch of the imagination. His value could easily dip a bit.

Turner may have the highest price-per-touch in the history of fantasy football.
in what circumstance would Bush's value dip even a little bit? because as i see it, he'll never be getting less touches in the backfield than he's getting right now. and if you want to get him, your only chance might be that the Bush owners may be getting antsy seeing him line up out wide so often losing GL touches to deuce all the time. barring injury, and considering deuce may not even be in NO next season, i can only see his value going up... thus making him a strong buy low candidate.we can disagree, and that's fine. but back up your blanket statements.

Before this Sunday I posted this, "Last week my Buy low's were Kevin Jones, Jake Plummer and Javon Walker. I got walker in 2 of my 3 leagues and Kevin Jones in one (and then just sold him yesterday), although I still like him to do well. The others I had been trying to get that started two weeks ago were Matt Hasselbeck or Delhomme. Hass went crazy last week and Delhomme I would expect to see do better as Smith gets back into the fold.Other buy Lows for me are Thomas Jones, Tony G (if you can get him cheap as KC is not a good situation), Randy Moss and Aaron Brooks. I am looking at later this year the latter two really pay off. People are forgetting Moss but the Raiders can't continue this ugly all year. I know Brooks is not sexy but before last year he was a top 8 QB for 4 years in a row.I love all this buyin' & sellin' talk. But I am curious to see if it is just that: TALK.

I would sell Favre, Pennington, Westbrook (if you can get top dollar) as well as Gore (I just don't see him staying healthy - dump after he is declared healhy) and finally trade Betts to the Portis owner now.
"
KJ and Javon Walker were good choices. Hass and Delhomme I think will be good as well. T. Jones had a good week as well off of 3 - 6 point weeks so hopefully that advice was taken. I did pick TJ up in one of my 3 leagues (so I slightly walked the walk). I still think Brooks off the waiver soon and Moss at a real low for someone like a KeyShaun, Cotchery or Antonio Bryant would be great.
Looking ahead some more, I would look to trade for Daunte as a backup (not huge value) as his history shows him to be better as the season goes on (Usually very bad in September) and things can't get worse with the OL). You may also want to look at Barlow as Cedric Houston is hurt and the Jets are jelling some (again not giving up a lot). Looking at some guys who just had a bad game/start, I would focus on Caddy Williams, Plaxico and even a guy like Tim Carter as the Giants should be throwing a lot.
Good luck

I'm going to have a lot of trouble picking two to keep in my Keep 2 league next season. I've lucked out with good drafts the last couple of years -- my RBs are LJ, Kevin Jones, Gore, Maroney, and Turner. I'm definitely keeping LJ -- and I'm tending towards Maroney with the second pick, although Turner is tempting. Maroney will go early if I don't protect him. Thing is, if Turner stays with SD next season he may be a decent pickup say from round 7 through 12 (somewhere in that range). Now with Jones's performance as of late, he's looking like a higher tier keeper candidate as well. I'm going to be pulling my hair out over this one

I already backed up my opinion. He was the number 1 overall draft pick in 99% of dynasty drafts. Many teams gave up a fortune to get that pick, others refused a fortune to part with the pick. People knew he would split carries this year as soon as he went to NO. The season is 4 games old. NO ONE who has him is going to dump him cheap, yet. It simply won't happen. He doesn't look like a bust. Most owners will simply tell you that he is not available in any trade. However, that could change if he continues to not find the end zone and we continue see highlights of Maroney, Jones Drew and Norwood every week.Here is how his value could dip: He could get hurt. He might continue to produce as he is and not score touchdowns. An owner in a high stakes league might find himself close to a championship around week 10 but want stronger rb play. He could trade Bush for a player like Rudi is there is $1000 or more on the line. I can assure you, you could not have gotten Reggie Bush for Rudi on draft day.Also, there will be huge hype next year for Adrian Peterson, especially if he runs a fast 40. Marshawn Lynch could skyrocket after the combine. If Bush puts up similiar statistics throughout the year, you could get him, in some leagues, straight up for the number one pick. That was not imaginable last year. He was seen as a much better prospect than previus number #1's.

Please reply back, anyone, after you buy Reggie "low". Post your league and your transaction page. I would love to see the low price that he is available for.

It's easy to pick any under-performing or hobbled-with-an-injury guy and throw him in the "buy low" category, but I too would like to see some concrete trades that have gone down to get some idea of the actual perceived value of these players. I've seen Gore mentioned as a "sell-high" candidate for instance in this thread. Today in a Zealots (Schizo) league, he was traded away for Larry Fitzgerald. I'd love to see others chime in with recent trading activity involving some of the players mentioned in this thread.
