LHUCKS' Top 10 Buy Low (1 Viewer)

LHUCKS

Footballguy
For those of you who aren't fortunate to see all of the games, here's who I see as solid buy low candidates.

1. Titans Passing Game - McNair, Bennett, Calico, Troupe, Kinney

Let's not forget how good Pittsburgh's defense is at home. The Titans will have better passing weeks nearly every other week this season.

2. Lamont Jordan

At New England hasn't been a cakewalk traditionally for fantasy runningbacks and Lamont looks primed for a breakout season after his showing on Thursday. Don't be surprised if he finishes among the top 10 RBs this year.

3. Isaac Bruce

Don't give up the farm because Curtis' and McDonald's targets do concern me, but Bruce isn't going to fall off the face of the earth after putting up 1290 last year.

4. Mewelde Moore

The more I see of Bennett, the less I'm impressed.

5. Hines Ward

Pittsburgh will have to pass more than it did against Tennessee. Snag him if the value is there.

6. Mike Anderson

He's the best RB in Denver and torn rib cartilage is a minor injury.

7. Andre Johnson

Week 1 will be his worst week of the entire year.

8. Jermaine Wiggins

Was targeted a lot and had two TDs called back...if you need a TE and he's cheap, Wiggins wont disappoint.

9. Ahman Green

He'll be relied upon even more in '05 with Walker out and he's been hated on a fair amount in the preseason. If you can get him from a discouraged owner pull the trigger.

10. Frank Gore

Looked solid in limited action and Barlow was far from impressive. Could be huge for your second half.

:yes: Barlow was putrid until he punched in that one TD. I see Gore getting more and more carries as the season progresses. Get him now while he's cheap...

7.  Andre Johnson

Week 1 will be his worst week of the entire year.
You heard it here first. He is good for at least 400 total yards and 32 receptions.
you never know...I see panic every year...one more bad week and you'll see him dumped in a lot of leagues.

So you think there's owners out there that drafted Andre Johnson probably within the top 5-6 rounds of their draft that will dump him after two bad weeks....hardly. :no:
 
9. Ahman Green

He'll be relied upon even more in '05 with Walker out and he's been hated on a fair amount in the preseason. If you can get him from a discouraged owner pull the trigger.
He'll also be keyed on more, and Walker's injury isn't going to improve the line play. I think Davenport benefits more than Ahman.

In many instances yes...definitely a guy to keep on your radar.

Favre is good enough to keep'em honest. I doubt you're going to see 8 in the box just because Walker went down. Ferguson is very capable.

Bubba Franks is a redzone target to begin with, his stock only increases with the weak line and the double teams Driver will see.
 
Could the Packers be last years 49ers?? Bad defense, they lost Walker, etc. Not exaclty the same thing, and Favre does probably keep them in some games. But I just don't see them putting up a ton of points.

I was being tongue in cheek of course, but it wouldn't shock me to see his average stat line be closer to 2/25 than what his ADP would imply (5/80 or so). I have him in 1 dynasty league that I inherited, and I do love his talent, but I would never even consider him in redraft at his ADP.

I have him in zero of my 15 leagues so I didn't like his value this preseason either. I'm merely pointing out that he could be a solid buy low guy if his stock drops enough.
 
Agree on all save for AJ. Always overrated. He won't score that little again? Great, he can double his output and start sniffing double digits. Anquan Boldin?DD?Tony Gonzales? There's fears you can toss out there for the other owner to worry about. Boldin has Fitz, DD has the Texans and Gonzo now has LJ. Just some guys IMO you could at least plant the seed for future trades. :popcorn:Edit to add I also don't like Moore. He's looking as fragile as Bennett and hardly all pro. :hophead:

I thought about DD but since I listed AJ I didn't select him. The Cards offensive line has me scared stiff so I wouldn't touch Boldin. Gonzo is a pretty tough buy low guy...I'm not in many leagues where you'll see him on the trading block.

3. Isaac Bruce

Don't give up the farm because Curtis' and McDonald's targets do concern me, but Bruce isn't going to fall off the face of the earth after putting up 1290 last year.
Bruce had 61 yds and a TD week one. I dont see him as a buy low guy right now :confused:

I know his stats, but owners may be weary of the Curtis/McDonald targets. I think the game was an anomaly from a targets perspective.

It's the targets, but you're probably right - can't be had for that low in most leagues b/c of the TD.

For McDonald maybe but I think Kevin Curtis will get 100+ targets this year in that offense. The guy has earned the looks with his consistently good play of late.
 
Not a bad list, but I don't agree with the Mewelde Moore call. 1. Bennett may not be that great, but Tice likes him and his is the only opinion that really counts2. Even if Bennett gets hurt, I wouldn't be shocked if Moe Williams gets more carries than Moore3. Their offensive line is not nearly the force it has been in the past. So even if Moore gets the call, I don't think he'll be nearly as effective as he was last year.

 
Pretty good list. I'd add Michael Clayton in there somewhere. Joey Galloway will NOT outscore him very often. Steven Jackson is a definite buy low possibility.Reggie Wayne might be another one to target if someone is antzy about him not scoring and only getting 50 yards. Other possibilities - Trent Green, Ashley Lelie, Nate Burleson and Roy Williams.If you are lucky enough to be dealing with an impatient imbecile, you might be able to trade a high scoring 2nd or 3rd rounder for Edge, Dominick Davis or even W. McGahee or S. Alexander, all of whom were denied the end zone this week.

1) True, but Moore is a proven performer and when push comes to shove if Bennett continues to not get it done, Moore will get his shot IMHO. 2) It's not as if Moore is expensive

3) The O-Line didn't have any key losses that I'm aware of so I'm not sure what you're basing your third point on. :confused:

4) I agree that Moe Williams may get a shot, but my opinion is that Moore is better.

While I like the list, heck I even have half these guys, I wonder about the notion of "buy low" after one game. I doubt many Ahman Green owners are selling right now. Same with Gore, maybe in a redraft he'd be on WW in some leagues. Anderson is probably the prime "panic trade" due to the injury.

In many instances you wont be able to buy low, but you can keep these guys on your radar. I'm in some leagues where trades are almost made every day so it depends on the culture of your league.
 
If you can't trade for them yet you can at least plant the seed for next week if there's another bad outing.
exactly...I guess I should've been a bit more clear. Obviously a lot of owners are going to hold off on pulling the trigger one week into the season.
 
Not a bad list but I was down on Ahman before the season and I have no reason think he'll be much better. I wouldn't want him as my #2.

I don't think Gore is anything special, but Barlow still looks horrendous. I can't believe this is the same guy that ran with so much authority pre-2004. Might as well take a shot on Gore.He now runs like Troy "tentative to the line, down on 1st contact" Hambrick -- and really their careers mirror each other. Hambrick also looked great when he was relieving Emmitt.Pretty good list.

I wouldn't say panicking yet but some things have surely caught their attention.
Like what? Who is going to "miss" the aformentioned targets and such? Who doesn't realize that Tennessee was AT Pitt? Tell me, who is going to give away Hines Ward after week one? I'd like to know.

Lamont Jordan was AT New England. AJ was IN Buffalo. That stuff gets by who exactly?

Call me crazy, but I think this is the year Joey Galloway is resurrected and finishes top 15.All the pieces are there: Gruden offense, proven playmaker opposite side, he's finally 100% healthy, etc.

Not a popular pick, but talent has never been an issue with Joey.

Agreed. I think at the end of the year Joey & Claytons numbers may look just about the same.

nOObs. we all play in a league or two with local friends/co-workers who don't follow the game nearly as closely as we do. You can't pull the wool over owners in FBG leagues, but there are panicking fools out there.I'm out - new Laguna Beach is comin' on MTV right now. GYEAH!

No, I implied there were other players that were more likely at pick 1.08.Doesn't mean the upside isn't there.

No here is what you wrote..My thoughts on LaMont:

"I agree that taking LaMont in the first is early but he caught five passes. That was my only negative reason for not ranking him so high going into the season. But in the preseason and in the first game he was targeted while he was in there. He caught five passes in the first game. Combine that with the fact that he played a very tough Defense in New England, I think that Week 1 will be one of his worst weeks statistically and he managed 16 points. "

Then you follow it up in another thread with

"Top 10 numbers"

Face it, you have been busted.

I feel sorta panicky about Priest Holmes... :unsure:
How could you not know what you were getting in to? That was the most talked about issue, on here especially.
I didn't believe it was actually going to happen. More importantly, i knew he would get some carries, but I didn't think he would look so much better than Holmes.

Also McKinney and Rosenthal are banged up. Their O-line is definitely not what it was even last year. I doubt Walter Payton in his prime could've done much with what I saw from the O-line yesterday.

9. Ahman Green

10. Frank Gore

Tennesse should do better in the passing game, they played in a very tough place vs. a very tough defense.Hines Ward is a good football player and will have a few solid weeks but with the defense and running Pittsburgh has, he isn't going to be a top 13 WR for fantasy football. How many times did Big Ben even throw the ball..............11 times. Come on, and they were happy to do that too. I don't like Hines as a WR1 at all.

Bruce will be fine and was fine on Sunday, he caught a TD. He produces like that all season and he'll end up with 16........I usually find it hard to trade owners for players that just scored a TD, not sure he's low.

Meweldee Moore......maybe in PPR. I don't like the Vikings RB game at all. I'm staying far away from that mess. I'm proud to say in 10 leauges I have Moe Williams in 2 of them as like 15th round picks. I can't stand the Vikings running attack.

Lamont Jordan- I like him, he's a horse. He won't get you a lot of TD's but he'll be a decent RB2 for you or an outstanding flex.

Mike Anderson- Didn't like him before the injury, still don't.

Ahman Green- Didn't like him before the season and still don't.

1. Marcus Pollard- Could be on the waiver wire as many 12 team redrafts only carry 1 TE and most at the end didn't draft him. I liked the way Joey looked to Marcus straight down the field and looked his way a few times near the endzone.

2. Bubba Franks- Sure Donald Driver will see more targets.........you know what so will Bubba Franks. Farve has relied on Franks for years and I look for Bubba to be solid.

3. Nick Goings- Not now, but eventually I just have this feeling he's going to be running the ball over in Carolina at the end of the year if not sooner. Can Davis really hold up? If Foster was any good he would have won that job, give me a break. Shelton's out so.................

4. Domanick Davis, Andre Johnson, David Carr- Buffalo has an outstanding D and were at home. Houston plays Jax this week, another solid D. I am making some solid trade offers for Davis and Johnson right after another sub performance vs. Jax. They're going on a bye week 3............you will see some owners not winning, their players are going on bye and aren't producing. They could bite and you will see these players putting up starting fantasy points during mid season.

5. Ashlie Lelie- He had plenty of deep targets. Plummer just player poorly. Miami played good D so when Denver gets KC twice, San Diego twice and Oakland twice, there will be some games there where he cashes in on those deep balls.

6. Chris Chambers- Looks good. Could have / should have had a better game than he did the other day. He will have the best year of his career this year.
