Dynasty - Existing players you're targeting during offseason (1 Viewer)

[OrangeCurtain]

A Dynasty owner's work is never done so now that the majority of leagues have finished their championship games, lets get started talking about players to target for 2013. I'll start with a few. Admittedly my list is WR heavy since I really only have Stevie J., Austin and Julio as starting WRs, but have Mendy, Ingram, Wilson, MJD, Martin and Tate at RB.

Hakeem Nicks - team that has him is in rebuild mode and I think his down year has been exactly that. He should get back to form and is still pretty young

Larry Fitzgerald - Down year and I think AZ will address their QB situation one way or another. Fitz doesn't need a superstar behind center, but he needs better than Kolb/Skelton/noob214.

Torrey Smith - I tried to grab him before this season but another owner beat me to it. Despite Flacco being a total boom/bust QB, I think Smith is going to continue to improve and be one of those perennial under the radar types that's always in the top 15 despite being valued lower.

Josh Freeman - He's a serviceable backup IMO, and right now after Ryan I have Fitzpatrick who I'm hearing a lot of chatter about being replaced in Buffalo.

Kyle Rudolph - He's on my team but if he wasn't I'd be gunning for him, I think he's going to continue to get better and be a consistently solid contributor with a chance to break into the top 5 every year.

So who else should I be going after?

 

[ctrlaltdefeat]

Hakeem Nicks is terrible. I've been drafting him for the past 3 years but it seems like an eternity waiting for him to make it happen. Oh and I was in the fantasy championship yesterday and he put up a donut.

Good luck with Nicks... Plenty of other guys around Nick's tier that I would feel a lot more comfortable with.The problem with Nicks is you won't be getting him at a discount. The people that bought him or have him at one point or another valued him as a top 5 Dynasty WR and probably still believe he has the ability to do that.Obviously he has the ability but hes quite a gamble for what your going to have to give upETA: guys around his tier that would cost less and I would rather have:Randall Cobb Victor CruzMike Wallace Even Michael Crabtree is giving him a run for his money with CK

 

[Concept Coop]

Any investment in Nicks (and even Cruz) will have to be, somewhat, an investment in Eli Manning's arm. I haven't been following closely, for long enough to think of many examples of a guy's arm going out mid-season like that. I'll have to do my homework.

Last year's Giants offense was strong enough to support 2 top 10 WR options - is it still, moving foward? Throw Bennett into the mix - a middle of the field option that seems to take receptoins from Cruz, and redzone targets from Nicks. And, again, who is Eli Manning? A top 5-6 QB with a strong arm, or a the guy he was much of the 2nd half of the season?

I am still looking to invest in Cruz, but Nicks is starting to scare me some. The injury issue is one thing, but the Giants offensive issues on top of that? That is a lot to gamble on.

[Concept Coop]

Jordy Nelson is a big one I left off of my list. I will be targeting him pretty heavily in all places I don't own him.

 

[mikel2014]

Looking to buy:

Mark Ingram

Shane Vereen

Daryl Richardson

Randall Cobb

Kyle Rudolph

Emmanuel Sanders

Greg Jennings

 

[Chazzhawk]

Guys I am targeting

Crabtree - Think he will get better with Kaepernick

Kaepernick - I only have Brady rostered right now

Wilson - I think he will get even better

Cruz - Hoping his second half struggles will be remembered by his owner

Lamicheal James - I like what I see from him

Larry Fitzgerald - Hoping I can get him for wide receiver 2 or 3 price

Gronk - Maybe injury will sour some owners

Stafford - Best receiver in the game and no running game still

Rueben Randle - I think Nicks moves on, I like the little I seen from him.

Stewart - Williams will be gone and I think Carolina has realized what a real running game will do for that team

Guys I am selling

Foster

Andre Johnson

Reggie Wayne

Marshawn Lynch

Roddy White

Mcfadden

Forte

Shorts

Romo

Peyton Manning

Chris Johnson

Steve Smith

Doug Martin - before I get killed let me explain, I traded Mccoy just before the start of the season for Martin, Harvin, Rudolph, and a 1st rounder this year. If I can get that type of deal again I am doing it Martin's value will never be higher, and the way he finished the year scares me a little.

 

[Concept Coop]

Looking to buy:Mark IngramShane VereenDaryl RichardsonRandall CobbKyle RudolphEmmanuel SandersGreg Jennings

I really like this list, with the exception of Jennings. Where do you see him ending up and what kind of offers will you be sending for him? Do you like him more than guys like Maclin, Austin, Bowe?

 

[EBF]

Some good candidates:

Ryan Mathews - The stench of his 2012 failures should cause his price to plummet.

Rashard Mendenhall - Very likely to emerge as a starter next year, IMO.

Jonathan Stewart - Getting a bit tired of his constant disappointment, but he's still young with plenty of talent.

David Wilson - I think it's only a matter of time until he gets an expanded role, and his value will rise when he does.

Toby Gerhart - A forgotten man after Peterson's monster season. Free agent after next year who might get a shot somewhere.

Justin Blackmon - A top 12 receiver over the last 8 weeks of the season. The thought of Tebow scares me, but if they keep Henne or someone comparable then he could be really solid next year.

There are also quite a few prospects who have high upside at a relatively low cost. Guys like Bernard Pierce, LaMichael James, Daryl Richardson, TJ Graham, Kendall Wright, Rueben Randle, and Chris Givens.

 

[cusefan115]

Ryan Williams could be an interesting buy low. Beanie Wells is making noise about wanting out of Arizona. I'm not sure, but the feelings might be mutual, given his injury problems.

I would be surprised if Arizona doesn't acquire another capable back to compete with Williams, and I'd put my money on the other guy likely being more valuable.

Good question about his landing place. First place that comes to mind is the Redskins. Synder loves to spend the big bucks in free agency and I doubt that will change with their lack of early picks. I have those guys ranked Maclin (decent gap), Jennings, Bowe, Austin right now. You can probably add Maclin to my list of buys now that I think about it. If I had a late first I wouldn't hesitate turning it into Jennings.

 

[yankdog]

Are Jennings owners selling him for a late first? Either way i like your list-very economical with upside.

 

[Chazzhawk]

I also forgot to mention, Chris Ivory. Hopefully he goes to another team.

That's a good one, but I doubt anyone would sell him before he signs anywhere .

Foster, Roddy, Marshawn, Andre, really? I can understand wanting to move a guy before he gets old but there seems to be considerable tread on those tires. I considered moving Andre before the season but no takers. Everyone thought he was past it... He was a big part of my championship run.

Had the same problem with MJD, and his season didn't do anything to take that perceived stink off, so there is some merit to selling early depending on situation.I'll probably get less now than I could have gotten last year, but that's the thing with trying to time it. Sometimes you're early, sometimes you're late.Ivory is one I should have mentioned, nicks owner also has him so I might try to get a package if I can make it work.

 

[ShaHBucks]

Call me crazy but Ryan Mathews value can't get any cheaper.

 

[SSOG]

Call me crazy but Ryan Mathews value can't get any cheaper.

It could if he broke a third collarbone.

 

[Eminence]

Alshon Jeffery (RZ threat, Cutler likes throwing to him).

Kyle Rudolph (even at his current price, guy could be real good with a different quarterback).

Russel Wilson (huge upside, once Marshawn Lynch slows down a bit this guy will have the reigns of his offense).

AJ Jenkins (1st Round talent, a few owners may have given up on him a bit).

Torrey Smith (hasn't had his career year yet).

Rob Housler (immense athleticism, showed it off against the Bears.)

Michael Floyd (once a Quarterback emerges, all of Arizona will have value.

Andre Roberts (see above).

Ronnie Hillman (if he can prove capable in pass protection, Peyton will find ways to get him the ball).

Sam Bradford (talent is there, he needs a true #1).

Andy Dalton (there's something about this guy I like, think he can be a GREAT QB).

Stephen Hill (like his game-tape, give him another off-season, huge upside).

TY Hilton (awesome talent, Donnie Avery will be gone next year, give him another year with Luck).

Kendall Wright (quietly caught 62 passes in 14 games as a Rookie without a quality Quarterback).

A Saints Wide Receiver (something tells me Drew Brees hasn't found his next favorite yet, not sure who it will be yet).

Denarius Moore (think he can improve and become more consistent).

Oh wait...you wanted EXISTING players. my bad.

(sorry. Too much egg nog )

 

[JetMaxx]

My offer will be Roddy for Garçon.

 

[Nagle2998]

QB P.Rivers- I really think Andy Reid is going to SD so I would take the chance and add Reid because you know whatever team he goes to will throw a ton. Now even if Reid doesn't go there I have to believe they will get a better coach then Turner.

Rb D. Wilson- Coughlin doesn't love rookie and Bradshaw is an every down rb so I expect Wilson to be much more involved next year and become a workhorse type rb

Rb B.Tate- Tate had an awful year because of injuries but I think he is a very talented rb and Foster has to slow down sooner or later

Wr Josh Gordon-I think he had an up and down year but I think he has the skills to take a big leap next year

Wr Jeremy Maclin- For whatever reason he didnt seem to click with Vick but he looked much better with Foles and McNabb.

Wr Greg Jennings- Of course it will depend on where he goes butI think a lot of peopleare down on him and I believe he can still be an elite Wr

Te Klye Rudolph- I think he takes a huge step next year into the top 5

Marshawn is 26...

 

[BeTheMatch]

I think people are giving up on Brian Quick too... well, quickly. For all the talk of A.J. Jenkins being a first-rounder, Quick was the first pick of the second round. So very similar "pedigree." Coming out of a small college, you could pretty much bank on him not making too big of an impact as a rookie.

Givens is getting a bunch of hype, and deservedly so, but Quick seems like a bargain. I got him off the waiver wire in one league late in the year.

My concerns are that I'm not a believer in Bradford really at all, and Fisher tends to want to focus the offense around a running game, but there will still be opportunities for Quick.

Deffinitely looking to grab L. Miller in as many leagues as I can.

 

[jonboltz]

Jordy Nelson is a big one I left off of my list. I will be targeting him pretty heavily in all places I don't own him.

He's a guy that is pretty much untouchable on my dynasty league, because I don't think I'd be getting near fair value for him. With Jennings gone, and likely Finley gone, I'm expecting them to role with Nelson-Cobb-Jones next year.

Maybe a year, maybe 2. But I'm buying the guy to be a RB2 or 3, whereas the other owner had him as his foundation RB. Risk is worth the right price.

 

[Sabertooth]

Deffinitely looking to grab L. Miller in as many leagues as I can.

I think its about 70% chance Bush isn't playing in Miami next season. That said, Lamar Miller didn't earn much playing time. I would love to see him featured this week.

Mathews is the top of my list at RB. I think the owner has given up.

How soon will you also give up on him? How much injury is enough? Not to mention his fumbling issues. I haven't kept up with him lately, has that improved?

His fumbling issues are overblown. He fumbled 2 times this year in 223 touches. Going back to 2011, he has fumbled 3 times in his last 330 touches.I have been a big Mathews supporter. I'm definitely not as high on him now as I was a year ago, but I still think he has the potential to be a top 10 RB for the next few seasons. If I can buy low on him, I will.

Yes, of course, we both know Johnson's age and injury history... Doesn't everybody in your league know that too? Doesn't his market value already reflect that?

So, I ask because... what are you going to get that makes it worthwhile? If someone is offering you the farm then, by all means, take it.

But, if you're going to move him for the sake of moving him, then you might miss out on some solid productivity.

But, if you're going to move him for the sake of moving him, then you might miss out on some solid productivity.

You can look at just age (by the way they will both be 27 before the season starts next year) but I try to use more. I already brought up Foster's heart murmur, and his career low in YPC. I look at them as early warning signs, if I can get Mccoy and a pick for him from a scared Mccoy owner I am running with it, or something like that. No Roddy isn't old but sooner rather than later Julio is going to take over as the guy in that offense, if I can get wide receiver one price for him I am taking it because he won't be a wr1(fantasy wise) by 2014, I happen to think it is next year.

Lynch runs very hard, I actually think he will be a top 10 guy next year, but I am being proactive. Why? because when guys that run this hard fall off they really fall off (I feel like I am repeating myself and you didn't even read the other post but whatever) Eddie George, Marion Barber, Jamal Lewis. If someone offered me Spiller for him I would do it. A lot of good backs seem to fall off around the 1800 to 2000 carry mark and after this post season Lynch will be 1500 + carries for his career, and he just runs so physically.

Johnson might be hard to sell in the off season but easily can be sold during the season to a playoff contender, and you can get a nice price for him.

 

[petenice15]

I can't believe I'm going to say this, because he's one of my least favorite people in the NFL, but I think Desean Jackson is a great but low. If the eagles bring in Chip Kelly, he's going to figure out a way to use him and use him often. Sure Reid is a great offensive coach, but maybe a change of leadership and a long time to recover from whatever injury he has now will do this moron some good.

 

[GeeYouknit]

The main guys I'm targeting are:

Ryan Mathews

C.J. Spiller

Jimmy Graham

Larry Fitzgerald

Lamar Miller

Doug Martin

Percy Harvin

Torrey Smith

Aaron Hernandez

Other than Spiller/Martin/Harvin most of these are buy low guy's, and my team is pretty deep so I feel I have a good shot at getting some of them

Foster, Roddy, Marshawn, Andre, really? I can understand wanting to move a guy before he gets old but there seems to be considerable tread on those tires. I considered moving Andre before the season but no takers. Everyone thought he was past it... He was a big part of my championship run.

Foster had a career low in yards per carry and add in this heart murmur and I am scared and going to getting rb1 value while I can. Lynch still has another year probably but when runners like him hit the wall they hit the wall. Think back to Eddie George.

I can't believe you would even ask about Johnson, this is the first time in a while he has played all 16 games and he is going to be 32 or 33 this year

Roddy White this is me being proactive, I think he will continue to be solid but his days as a wr1 are numbered and next year will be the year Julio Jones passes him for favorite target on the Falcons. I want to get wr1 value while I still can.

OMG... the sky is falling!Lynch, Foster (26?) and White could be studs for at least a couple years. Roddy White is my no means "old". Add to that the likely retirement of Gonzalez and their are plenty of balls to go around in Atlanta.

Yes, of course, we both know Johnson's age and injury history... Doesn't everybody in your league know that too? Doesn't his market value already reflect that?

So, I ask because... what are you going to get that makes it worthwhile? If someone is offering you the farm then, by all means, take it.

But, if you're going to move him for the sake of moving him, then you might miss out on some solid productivity.

You can look at just age (by the way they will both be 27 before the season starts next year) but I try to use more. I already brought up Foster's heart murmur, and his career low in YPC. I look at them as early warning signs, if I can get Mccoy and a pick for him from a scared Mccoy owner I am running with it, or something like that. No Roddy isn't old but sooner rather than later Julio is going to take over as the guy in that offense, if I can get wide receiver one price for him I am taking it because he won't be a wr1(fantasy wise) by 2014, I happen to think it is next year.

Lynch runs very hard, I actually think he will be a top 10 guy next year, but I am being proactive. Why? because when guys that run this hard fall off they really fall off (I feel like I am repeating myself and you didn't even read the other post but whatever) Eddie George, Marion Barber, Jamal Lewis. If someone offered me Spiller for him I would do it. A lot of good backs seem to fall off around the 1800 to 2000 carry mark and after this post season Lynch will be 1500 + carries for his career, and he just runs so physically.

Johnson might be hard to sell in the off season but easily can be sold during the season to a playoff contender, and you can get a nice price for him.

Johnson was WR #6 in our scoring system and his 150 yard game in week 15 was the main reason I survived that week and eventually won the league. If I'm competitive, I want a potential top 10 guy on my roster even though the shelf life isn't forever. Agreed that, in a rebuilding state, I'd have a different approach. Or, if I'm clearly out of it, his value could peak at the trade deadline.

The main guys I'm targeting are:Ryan MathewsC.J. SpillerJimmy GrahamLarry FitzgeraldLamar MillerDoug MartinPercy HarvinTorrey SmithAaron HernandezOther than Spiller/Martin/Harvin most of these are buy low guy's, and my team is pretty deep so I feel I have a good shot at getting some of them

I don't think you'll be buying Graham low. Yes, his production fell, but the rest of the TEs fell by just as much, so he still wound up giving you an advantage over everyone but Gronk and Gonzo, and Gonzo says he's going to retire. Speaking of Gonzo, if I didn't already own Gronk, I'd be offering a third or fourth round pick for him. Worst case, he retires, and that's one less cut I have to make to fit my rookies. Best case, he doesn't retire, and I got a difference maker for peanuts.

Love that idea

I have Rueben Randle in most of my dynasty leagues, but if I didn't I really like him. I think Giants let Nicks walk when his contract is done and they keep Cruz and Randle

Yeah I know he's still one of the top TE's I'm just hoping that the owner see's him as a liability because he also has Gronk.
