Guys to Buy and Buy now in a Dynasty

Slaton

Mendenhall FWP looks terrible, Mendenhall will get his chance

Forte - Cutler will settle down

P. Thomas - Perfect Oppurtunity

J. Stewart - Elite Talent

B. Jacobs - Should still have 15 tds

Boldin

Jennings

E. Royal

I am really targeting P. Thomas, Slaton and J. Stewart. because they are cheap.

I like P. Thomas to have 12 Td's and 1100yds still this year. Is that wishful thinking?

You will not get Mendenhall or Stewart any Cheaper and I own D. Williams

Think Stewart's value has increased since the season started, not sure about buying him cheap.
 
Maybe they won't come cheap.

Slaton Mendenhall and P. Thomas I think will. DIRT CHEAP

Are these guys worth a shot? I think yes.

Am I Crazy?

I truely think P. is in a perfect situation.

In a dynasty league where owners know what they are doing these guys will not be as cheap as you think. Owners invested an early first round pick in Mendy, and both Slaton and Thomas carried their owners last season. Most owners will knwo now is not the time to move these guys.
 
I'm a Jennings and Jacobs dyno owner, I ain't selling low on either.

The only one of any of the other guys I think could be buy low's right now is Boldin, the rest I either think are not buy low's (Slaton, Forte, Mendenhall, Pierre) or their owner's won't sell them as low as you think (Royal and Stewart).

However, You would buy low now if Possible!
 
Pierre Thomas. Perfect time to buy on the guy. He's a stud. Just wish his owner in my league didn't know that too.

If you can get him, do it. Wish I could.

I'd rather have Moreno, although I think it'll be easier to buy low on Jacobs.As to Pierre Thomas, though, I have him on a couple of my teams and not really sure I would sell him. His value (especially on this board) seems too low as I've watched him for a couple of years now and still think he's a 1k 10td guy this year.

this is about as ridiculous a statement as you could ever make..you do realize Chicago played Pittsburgh last week, right? you do realize it's hard to run on them, right?

and the Bears played div rival GB in week 1..with a new QB who needs to get his feet wet with the new team in 'real' games, not preseason fake games...that was Cutler's mulligan/breakfast ball type of game..

you really think Orton made Forte better?! c'mon now..

come monday, we'll all be praising Forte's 100+ rushing yard, 2 td performance

Not sure Pierre Thomas is a dynasty buy, unless you're talking for the short-term. New Orleans was talking about adding another back this past offseason. I'd be concerned about them drafting a back next year or getting a back via free agency.

I don't believe Slaton is a buy low either. He was in the right spot at the right time last year and produced. He's looked sub-par thus far, though it was against two strong defenses in NYJ and TEN. Chris Brown received a number of 4th quarter carries last week... that's not helping Slaton.

Jacobs is another guy that I don't like. I was selling this offseason and I'm sure not buying now. That running game without Plax has struggled. I think Tefertiller wrote up an article analyzing Jacobs before/after Plax and it was a huge deal. None of the WRs are getting doubled... defenses are bringing up the safety instead. Bradshaw is the guy to own in dynasty leagues for the Giants. With the lackluster red zone performance, I'd be shocked to see Jacobs hit 15 TDs. I'm staying away in dynasty leagues.

I like the list, but disagree with these three.

I am seeing owners get frustrated with Stewart and injury-prone concern, but he's still not cheap.

ETA: Love the Royal call... you can probably even wait a few more weeks. Orton isn't helping Royal at all so far. They'll get a new QB next year, which will help big time.

Most of the guys listed here are not buy low if you're in a league where you have several savvy dynasty owners.

Some guys that probably are available (and are at this point in our league):

DHB (he got whacked last week)

Johnny Knox

Michael Crabtree

DHB has drastically underperformed, but he still has a very good skill set (size and speed). He's still a rookie learning the NFL game.

Knox could become one of Cutler's favorite targets. He is amazingly fast (by some reports, faster than Hester), plays fast, and made some pretty impressive catches in the rain last week. I guy with speed and hands on an offense with a QB of Cutler's ability is always a viable option.

Crabtree hasn't signed yet - but many "experts" think he will as he continues to lose leverage. The 49ers are winning without him. The Jets are winning (i.e. they're pick next year could be fairly low). He wont help you this year, but many see him as a top WR when he does start playing. If he actually does end up playing with Sanchez in NY, I think his value is even higher than it was with the 9ers.

I understand that Forte has had two tough matchups. I was referring to the fact that Orton really likes to Dink and Dunk. Unlike Cutler. In a PPR format that was refrenced I think Moreno will be good.I drafted Forte #3 over all in a redraft league. I myself am aslo hoping for "come monday, we'll all be praising Forte's 100+ rushing yard, 2 td performance".

Really? Have you seen him play? Speed is the only thing he has going for him. He runs bad routes and he has absolutely horrible hands. This guy is a complete bust (as is his QB).

As you know, I am a Slaton owner and pimper. However, I am in other leagues and am trying to buy him.I believe in the PPR format Slaton only has upside. If you watched both of those games, the simply wasnt opportunity for either Slaton or Brown to produce. If you take a look at Hous schedule, there is a lot of cush in there. Also, 13, 14, 15 should be big producers.

Because he's backing up the leading rusher in the NFL, and one of the two best backs out there?Dead roster spot.

This is a dynasty thread. If you think Gore is injury prone Coffee is a great get, because SF is running a lot and running effectively. However, I doubt any dynasty owners expected him to get carries over Gore, so I don't think his value has dropped.
 
The thing about "buying low" is that a player doesn't have to be CHEAP to be cheaper than he should be. For instance, I'm a Jonathan Stewart owner who is sky-high on him... but that doesn't mean somebody couldn't "buy him low" from me. If someone offered me a top 5 dynasty RB, I'd take that deal in a heartbeat. If Stewart wound up posting multiple 2,000 yard, 20+ TD seasons, then history will show that you "bought him low". If you're convinced that Steve Slaton is the #8 dynasty RB, and his cost right now is commensurate with the #12 or #14, then it's still time to buy, whether he's "cheap" or not.Despite that, I don't think it's time to buy on Slaton (who's still overrated based on residual hype from last year) or Pierre Thomas (who I'm not convinced is the kind of guy who can withstand challenges for his starting job year after year).

Of course you can still get him. Anyone is "gettable", especially someone like Pierre Thomas. An offer of 3 first round picks and the best player on your team would certainly do the trick. If you think Pierre Thomas is the next LaDanian Tomlinson, that deal might even be a fair one. The fact that you "can't" get him just means you don't think he's worth as much as the other guy thinks he's worth.
