Undervalued Dynasty WRs (1 Viewer)

[wiscstlatlmia]

I'm officially set. The guy is Andre Johnson....by far... He obviously still costs a pretty penny, but certainly not the cost of what he is actually worth.

Curious to hear what you'd give up for him?Multiple first round picks? AJ is a beast and his owners know it. I can't imagine he is being discounted by any savvy owner at this point. An injury and losing your starting QB is going to hurt anyone's stat line. But those are both temporary, and there is no reason to think he wont be flirting with a top 5 WR finish next season

So you dont think theres a risk to owning him now? a 30 year old injury prone WR, I'm sure some guys would be willing to trade if you give them a sensible offer. Dynasty value for WRs over 30 is a steep, slippery slope. Personally I would give up what is looking to be 1.4 and Santonio Holmes. I'm saying buy low for Andre Johnson, not just some guy.

It does depend on the owner. Youth is VERY overrated in dynasty leagues. I think Andre still has 2-3 years as a must start fantasy WR. But where I think youth is overrated, other owners can't get enough of it. If thats the Andre owner, than Holmes and 1.04 is in the ballpark.

so these injuries don't worry you? 31 next year and it seems like he's having problems staying healthy...

I posted that before last weeks injury, so yes...the injuries are now sitting heavier in the back of my head. But look at the stats he just put up with a third string QB and less than a full game. The guy still has it! Would you really trade him for Santonio Holmes and mid first? I'd take Andre risk over the risk of the later... I personally wouldn't call him undervalued, but if others think so, I don't blame them

I wouldn't call 1.04 a 'mid-1st' especially in next year's draft and Santonio Holmes has huge potential if Sanchez can get consistent. Probably depends on the make up of the rest of your team whether or not that is a good deal. Johnson's future years of production are certainly limited so he's only useful to teams in win now mode. Not many WR's can maintain production well into their 30's so I don't typically try to snag them.

ohhh, so your saying I can buy low on him because everyone is mostly thinking like you guys are? lol

Maclin? Djax could be on the way out. I think his price is still affordable.

I totally agree and disagree. I think Djax is on his way out and Maclin is a VERY Talented WR who is "semi-affordable". I tired to acquire him in two leagues and couldn't. One owner wanted V. Jax and a first round pick (8-12) range and the other owner wanted Tom Brady and Daniel Thomas which isn't a bad trade, but its not cheap.

I'd go the other way and go after Riley Cooper. If DJax leaves Cooper becomes the #2 and can be had right now for almost nothing. And he's shown he ca n produce when he plays.

you must have literacy issues. I'm saying that it depends on the state of the team. If a team has a shot to win you league with Dre next season they probably aren't going to trade him away, but if they are rebuilding they would certainly entertain offers
