In pretty much all my leagues I got Galloway as a 3rd or 4th WR and as I projected he's having a nice season. But my question is when is the best time to sell high? He's coming off a great game vs the Saints but has some more nice matchups coming up. How high will his value get?

Honestly, I don't know if you want to sell high on Galloway this year. Reasons:
* He looks like he's 26, not 36. Not many DB's can keep up with him.
* Given the fall from grace that NO has had, TB has renewed vigor that they can win the division this year. Between NO, CAR and TB that division is going to go down to the wire which means Gruden will try extra hard to get the ball in the hands of his playmakers and Galloway is #1 on that list.
* In leagues that offer bonus points for long TD's...Galloway has a little extra value. He'll be good for another 3-4 long TD's this year.
I'd probably hold Galloway, but that's just me. He has 11-1,200 yards and 8-9 TD's written all over him and that's damn good for a #3 WR.

Who do you want for him? Seriously, what are your expectations because regardless of what I tell you, everyone in your league has a different idea so it really doesn't matter.You want Lee Evans for him? Who are you targeting?Tell me what would excite you to say something like this: Hey, I just got _________for Joey Galloway, yes!!!!Then I'll tell you if it is feasible.
I targeted Galloway in all my leagues as I had Tampa Bay making a huge offensive turn around this year. So far so good. I wouldn't trade Galloway unless you're getting a stud RB in some package deal. He'll perform as a #2 WR all year. I projected him for 10 tds and 1200 yds...
obviously no one is going to trade him just to trade him. But if you need help at other positions then Galloway is probably the best trade chip as a reserve WR (assuming you got studs or solid starters like Steve Smith and Wayne/Housh). My question wasn't really "should I trade him" but when is the best time to trade him to get the best possible return especially if you need to get a solid RB. Going by your responses it will probably be best to hold on to him longer because if he keeps this pace up other owners will feel safer trading for him.

Just traded Fitzgerald, Galloway, A Green for Roy Williams and Javon Walker. Hope this gives some prespective on these players value.
*14 team league, Galloway and A Green would not be kept, I will be keeping Roy and Javon. Also I am banking on Kevin Jones being my Flex starter with the loss of A Green.
I figured Galloway's stock is pretty high right now, and while it looks like he is line to have a nice season, I am looking a little more long term. As for Fitzgerald, I am just not confident in the AZ passing attack this year and in the near future.

Look, I thought the same thing in 2005. He started off well and I figured he'd get hurt. The year before he only played like 10 games and I just figured he's HOT, I'm gonna get rid of this guy and get somone reliable.
I made the move, can't remember who I got but I know that Galloway finished top 5 as a WR that year and it was a BAD trade. Galloway had a good year last year and he's off to another great start.
Do NOT make the mistake I did and give him away. In fact, he could very well end up being your NO.1 WR on your team easily by year's end.
I again don't have him on any of my teams somehow but if I did right now, I'd be happy and truthfully, he would be virtually untradeable.
Let's face it, you're not going to wake up in the morning and get a trade offer from an owner with Steve Smith or Chadd Johnson or Marven.
There's NOBODY, and I mean nobody that you're going to trade for and get equal value for Galloway.
In fact, I'd go the other way. Keep Galloway and get rid of whoever it is else you have at WR for whatever your needs are.

Will not trade with Garcia as his QB. He knows how to get the ball to WR's in stride. That means LONG gains for Joey.

I'm not sure what you are going to get for him. Galloway is being Galloway. He is UNDERVALUED just about EVERY year he's been with Tampa. I've grabbed him 3 years in a row across most leagues... as my #4 WR... and has aptly filled in as a #2 about 2/3 of the time when I've plugged him in (which is great)... for instance last week. I can't find the thread I posted on before the start of the season, but I found that he's been putting up 1,100 and 8.5 TDs a year with a combined QB rating of 40-something. Much less a revolving QB rotation. Granted Garcia is going to go down at some point (unfortunately).. but if anything his true value isn't realized yet.I see stats closer to '05 around 1250 and 9 or 10 TDs.Look at his schedule too. Some very decent matchups during the bye week season.F'Guys have him as the #18 WR going forward... ahead of the likes of Lee Evans, Deion Branch, Berrian, Colston, Hines... so unless your trade partner values him around the Boldin/Driver realm... then you probably won't get good value... and just way too many fantasy owners aren't big Galloway fans. Reminds of Tiki for a few years, it took ppl to realize he was a Top 12 RB.So yeah... until ppl finally get it, and understand his value... but me thinks they won't. LAUGHABLE....In 2005 - 7th in YARDS, 5th in TDsIn 2006 - 16th in YARDS, 17th in TDs with QBs in the most abysmal ratings/performanceYet, despite an upgrade in QB, a coach in the hotseat, slightly improved o-line, stillllllllllllllllllllllll no #2 like he hasn't had for years, an "allegeldy" healthy starting RB....He went as the 28th WR.I usually utilize him only at home though, over the last 3 years -HOME - 80/1302/13AWAY - 74/1249/6

Galloway has been painfully underrated for years. WHy would you want to trade such a good plater?

I drafted Galloway 98th overall in the 10th round. That is value... I started him as my flex thanks to Footballguys. but his value is high right now. I would definitely entertain offers... He is playing younger right now but the guy gets an IV every game in the half or third quarter. Can he produce all year long???

I got him off the WW in a ten teamer. Nobody will trade for him because they think he will be a one week wonder. He might be, but the 23 points I got in that one week sure was nice, instead of watching him go off on my bench.....

The problem with trading Galloway now is that he falls into that category of an old WR who always gets undervalued and outperforms his draft spot. Due to his age his big game probably does not change perception much. You will probably get more value by keeping him. It is always good to see what offers might be out there but I doubt anyone is ready to see the farm for him.

probably true. i have the "all over 30" wr corps, as i waited late to take them while the run was going on. just needed a couple to outperform. joey looks like my winner, though i still have hope for toomer and booker.Warhogs said:

Good points.I think he may be undervalued even after his big week 2.Warhogs said:
Therefore, despite his performance, he may actually be a good "buy low" because his perceived value may never supersede his actual value.
In a redraft, I like to sell a young WRs dripping with athleticism and potential for a vet like Gallaway as the second players in a trade to upgrade at another position. The other owner frequently sees the young guy as an upgrade (therefore he is willing to downgrade at another position) while, in actual fantasy points, I can upgrade at both WR and the other position.

He is up there in age, but the stopwatch doesn't lie. Nor do the breaway TDs .....Galloway is less than a year older than Marvin. Not saying he's Marvin.. but Joey has had a lot less work, on grass vs turf.... although he's been in the league 13 years, has only about 9 years worth of wear and tear. WRs can keep productivity for awhile... course injury is more apt. Stay tuned.

Footballguy
I don't think you'll see many in this thread who disagree with your general assessment that Joey is still quite productive. The question is, what will he get back in a trade or, to phrase it another way, what is his general perceived value amongst the general fantasy football populace.
Mystery Achiever
Footballguy
Marvin and Joey are my two starters. Youth is overrated!
This is true.. Galloway tends to dissapear on you some games, and those 0's kill your team that week.

Why would you sell Joey Galloway.
#1 - you drafted him cheap in the first place
#2 - he put up numbers last year in one of the worst offenses in recent memory
#3 - he is one of the very few WRs who is the sole target for his team
#4 - age is just a number/ statistics don't tell the story, the story tells the statistics (the whole "36 year old WRs have done this" argument going around this preseason was a bunch of BS.)

Its taken 34 games now for teams to realize they need to take away Galloway? I'm not buying this at all. The guy has been very good for 2 years running now.
BRONG
FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY
Then why haven't they stopped him before, with lesser QBs, a lesser line, and no running game? You think now it will somehow happen? Please.Most WRs have some lean weeks, especially those drafted where Galloway was. No news there.

Over the last 2 years, the guy has put up 2300 yards and 17 TDs. Defenses noticed him a long time ago...they just can't seem to stop him.

Galloway is hard to trade, I think he keeps up this all year, only maybe 10 WR's will finish better if than him. He's a permanent fixture in my lineup as part of my 7-headed old school kung fu Mr. Miagyi style crane kick wax on wax off on my oppenents:

Came in here to start a thread on Galloway, but noticed this one is already here. I just picked Galloway off the waiver wire over L. Jordan and B. Edwards (10 team league). His last two years he finished as WR5 and WR15 respectively. Now he has a better QB in Garcia. I keep thinking back to the chemistry Garcia had with Owens, and I see the possibility of the same thing happening. Plus, Galloway looked great Sunday. Don't think he's lost a step.
