Top Sell High Candates... (1 Viewer)

Here is a list of my top Sell High Candates (players to trade away, while their value is sky high, but you expect to fall off).

1. Lamont Jordan

Bad team, plus Rhodes comes back to steal carries

2. Chicago Defense

Losing players by the bucketfulls. If Greise falters, then what? This team could be a disaster.

3. Jon Kitna

An injury waiting to happen. Was sacked 9 times against Phily, and O-line is banged up.

4. Roy Williams

If Kitna goes down, so does evey Lions player

5. Brett Favre

Great 1-2 weeks, but will it continue? I think the interceptions are dying to come out soon, and they will run the ball more when Morency comes back.

6. Matt Shaub

I like this QB, but I think the Andre Johnson injury will linger, and they have nobody else to catch the ball.

7. Joeseph Addai

I know, he has been great. But the reason I did not draft him is he has never carried a full load. I stand by my prediction that he does not finish the year.

8. Brian Westbrook

Always gets hurt, always. Was already banged up against the Lions, and more is to come.

9. Trent Green

Let people think that one great week makes a player.

Honarable mention....

Vikings Defense, Jeff Reed, Tony Romo, Clinton Portis.

Kitna was sacked 63 times last year (most by 14 sacks) and still managed to play 16 games. Getting sacked is not a big surprise, to me at least. Yes, he's an injury risk but I would look for a good back up as opposed to dealing one of the top qb's in possibly the top passing offense in the league.

I'd also buy Portis if owners were foolish enough to sell and the same goes for Westy/

I think Kitna was lucky to make it through last season, and I think this year it will catch up with him. I read a stat line that last year was the first of his career that he ever played in all 16 games. He is already banged up with a concussion.I am a Lions homer, so I think it is coming. I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
 
Westy gets banged up every week and he gives his owners agita with gametime starts (especially Sunday Night and Monday), but he is a stud when he's on the field. I don't see him as a sell high since everyone is aware of his injury history, and otherwise, he is not playing over his head.

Just check out his stats and you'll see that's not true.

It may happen but I'm not going to deal a guy who's performing exceptionally well because he may get injured. Of course, I'd rather he take less abuse but like I said, the better move IMO is to get a good backup so if/when he does get hurt you have a good plug in. While he's healthy enjoy the top 5 production for as long as it lasts.
 
1. Lamont JordanBad team, plus Rhodes comes back to steal carries
Ummm, did you forget to update your preseason notes?Last time I checked Lamont was producing yards when he touched the football, which happens to be about 25 times a game. If you were Monty Kiffin, would you really turn this into a RBBC, unless you absolutely had to? Unless Lamont gets injured or for some unkown reason his production dramatically drops off, he's their #1 guy. I wouldn't take anything less than a RB2 for him right now.

The average rank of the defenses he's faced over his first 3 games has been 25th. He's had a dream schedule to start and it will get tougher from here, couple the return of FA acquisition of Rhodes this is his peak value. I would definitely look to package him for an upgrade.

why would an owner sell a top 5 QB(Kitna), a top 5 WR(Williams) or a top 5 RB(Jordan and Westy). Kitna and Jordan where great value picks in redraft leagues. I got Kitna in the 6th round in one redraft league and Jordan in the 6th in another.

I can guarantee you that Monty Kiffin won't change it to RBBC in Oakland. Book it!!

I believe the whole idea of "sell high" is to take a player who is currently highly ranked and sell them before they fall from their ranking. You can't exactly "sell high" a guy who hasn't produced, now can you?

I don't buy the weak defense excuse. He's doing very well against these weak defenses, which is more than you can say about half of the 1st round RB's this year. If LJ or LT or Gore had the Raiders schedule thus far and had produced Lamont's fantasy numbers, then they would have been making their owners happy. Nobody would be saying that their production was the result of facing weak defenses.I think Lamont's value right now and for the rest of the season is the RB8-RB12 range.

what player would you target if you where trying to trade a player like Kitna, Jordan or Westy. I am a Kitna owner in a redraft league and I would only trade him for Manning, Brady or Palmer.

A lot of the 1st rounders like LT, LJ have faced the toughest run defenses in the league which has effected their stats. Jordan didn't all the sudden get great and these other guys didn't all the sudden become bad. If LJ or LT or Gore had the Raiders schedule thus far and had produced Lamont's fantasy numbers, then they would have been making their owners happy. Nobody would be saying that their production was the result of facing weak defenses.I think Lamont's right now and for the rest of the season is the RB8-RB12 range.
whether you buy it or not, RB's facing bad defenses run for more yards than they do against good defenses. To ignore/minimize SOS is a huge mistake. Jordan has faced 3 terrible run defense and did well but I think you are kidding yourself if he's going to keep up near this pace. Over the next 11 games he faces the #2, 3, 6, 9, 9, 10 and 12 ranked run defenses (as opposed to the 23, 29 and 31 ranked defenses over the 1st 3 weeks).

There are no guarantees in this game. Trading away a player because he *might* get hurt for a game or two doesn't make sense to me. How many people expected SJackson to get injured? Maybe its just me but I like it when my players put stud numbers. In fact, I try to get as many of them as I can. If an injury happens, I try to have some depth to fill in for the missing weeks. If the Roy Williams owner in my league wants to trade him, I'll gladly add him to my roster for the right price.

 
This isn't a list of players to "sell high" but rather a list of players that have outproduced their draft position (with the exception of Rhodes).

Honarable mention....

Vikings Defense, Jeff Reed, Tony Romo, Clinton Portis.
Am I the only one that disagrees with pretty much this entire list?Jordan - maybe if his back problems scare you, but personally I'd hold unless you get a great return for him. He's 2nd in rushing in the league. Why would any coach mess with that? I think his value will drop from where it is now, but I think he still finished near the top 10. And who in their right minds would trade you a top 10 back for him now?

Kitna - will continue to put up monster numbers, just as everyone expected. Philly blitzes all the time! He's not going to get sacked 9 times a game.

RWilliams - right, lets cut bait on the top WR on the one of the top passing offenses in the NFL just in case the QB gets hurt. Seriously?

Favre - playing as well as he has in recent memory. A great late pickup for many teams. Morency is going to hurt Favre's numbers? Huh?

Schaub - he threw for more yards without AJ (and Jacoby Jones for part of the game) in week 3 than either of weeks 1 or 2! Plus you could only hope to sell high to someone who doesn't know that AJ and Jones are injured. Good luck with that.

Rhodes - why are we talking about Dominic Rhodes!? What could you possibly get for him as a sell high candidate? And if he's not going to finish the year, then why is Lamont Jordan on your list?

Westbrook - has a history of injuries. Great update. He can also win you a championship if he stays healthy. Very few players I'd let go of Westbrook for straight up.

Green - I don't disagree with this, but what could you possibly get for Green at this point? He's got some value in start 2 QB leagues, but that's about it.

Romo - he just tore the Bears to pieces. What proof do you need that this kid is for real? What reason do you have to not believe he's going to be a stud this year?

Portis - Campbell is looking great and he's just going to get better. The Redskins offense is heading up. It will only mean good things for Portis. I guess if you're really scared of him getting injured...

 
all of that and you forget to mention the most obvious sell high candidate... Deshaun Foster
I'm on the fence with that one. He's looked good, is getting the goal line looks, and is getting the run the clock out carries. Yes, he's not going to finish top 15 but I don't think anyone would seriously expect that but I don't even know what you would get for him. I think he'd probably have more value on your team than you would get in a trade. could be wrong though.
 
all of that and you forget to mention the most obvious sell high candidate... Deshaun Foster
Maybe, but my problem is that his value is higher than his perceived value. I think it'll take a few more good games for him to shake the RBBC stigma. I feel like he's worth more than you'll get for him this year.

i disagree with the lsit this is the worst sell high list in the history of FF

 
One guy that I would look to sell is McGahee. I know a lot of people will think I'm nuts but he's played a soft schedule and his numbers are ok but I expected more in this soft part of his schedule. After he has a good game this weekend against Clev, I'd look to package him for an upgrade.

Didn't mean to come off sounding quite so harsh. I appreciate the effort in putting together a list like this but it would be more useful if you'd suggest reasons more than "he'll probably get injured". Schedule? OL injuries? Also let us know the kind of players you take when you sell. Take Westbrook for example. If you're going to sell high on him, who would you take? If you're saying "sell high" because you think you could get a top 5 back in return for him without an injury history at this point, then I might agree that selling is a good idea.

Off the top of my head:

1. Braylon Edwards

2. Roddy White

3. Jon Kitna
wow, two of those are buy/holds to me. Edwards is going to continue to put up good numbers week after week. They will be behind in the 2nd half of nearly every game and he and Winslow will get totally meaningless stats.

He obviously means Joseph Addai
 
As a former and current Westbrook owner, I am looking to move him. The GT decisions killed me last year and I don't see his value getting much higher.

Already shipped Kitna for Eli and Bowe in a dynasty league.

IMO Romo's floor is top 5. If you move him now, you will be losing value.

Didn't ask you if you agreed or not.If you are so smart, lets see your list.

 
The most obvious sell high candidates to me are;

1) Derick Ward

2) Brian Leonard

3) Randy Moss

4) Lamont Jordan

5) Terrell Owens

The only reason I included Moss and Owens is because of their past off the field behavior. Moss and Owens might just behave this year, but in a dynasty league they are both sell high guys.

I'd be a buyer of either two...

He's 2nd in rushing in the league. Why would any coach mess with that? I think his value will drop from where it is now, but I think he still finished near the top 10. And who in their right minds would trade you a top 10 back for him now?

Kitna - will continue to put up monster numbers, just as everyone expected. Philly blitzes all the time! He's not going to get sacked 9 times a game.

RWilliams - right, lets cut bait on the top WR on the one of the top passing offenses in the NFL just in case the QB gets hurt. Seriously?

Favre - playing as well as he has in recent memory. A great late pickup for many teams. Morency is going to hurt Favre's numbers? Huh?

Schaub - he threw for more yards without AJ (and Jacoby Jones for part of the game) in week 3 than either of weeks 1 or 2! Plus you could only hope to sell high to someone who doesn't know that AJ and Jones are injured. Good luck with that.

Rhodes - why are we talking about Dominic Rhodes!? What could you possibly get for him as a sell high candidate? And if he's not going to finish the year, then why is Lamont Jordan on your list?

Westbrook - has a history of injuries. Great update. He can also win you a championship if he stays healthy. Very few players I'd let go of Westbrook for straight up.

Green - I don't disagree with this, but what could you possibly get for Green at this point? He's got some value in start 2 QB leagues, but that's about it.

Romo - he just tore the Bears to pieces. What proof do you need that this kid is for real? What reason do you have to not believe he's going to be a stud this year?

Portis - Campbell is looking great and he's just going to get better. The Redskins offense is heading up. It will only mean good things for Portis. I guess if you're really scared of him getting injured...
Didn't ask you if you agreed or not.If you are so smart, lets see your list.
:football: If you're gonna post lists like this you're gonna have to take criticism plus learn that its going to create and open debate.
