Week 10 - Buy Low/ Sell High (2 Viewers)

Amari Cooper and Allen Robinson owners are probably frustrated this week.  A-rob owners frustrated all year.  Anyone buying A-rob or trying to this week?
I bought A Rob last week (Jordan Howard & Cameron Meridith). After Thursday night I thought I got a steal. After yesterday it looks like we just exchanged each other's garbage.

Meredith didn't do much, I don't believe Howard either. Robinson schedule is tough, when will the garbage time come?

 
Is Cobb a sell high? With Adams, Montgomery and Nelson all getting shares is he worth a sell? I know Nelson is down right now, but the Packers can't run the ball, do all have value? or too hard to tell what weeks?

If you can get WR2 type value from him, or if you can use Cobb in a package to get an elite player, then sure, sell Cobb.   Rodgers loves to spread the ball around so I see Cobb as a good WR3 going forward.  But with Lacy out of the picture, Rodgers might be throwing the ball 50+ times a game.  I suspect Cobb will have 9-80-1 type games, but be prepared for the 3-35 type game as well.  Cobb works well as good WR3.

 
Last week I tried to sell Ajayi, Howard and a 6th rounder for Bell in a 1 player keeper. He didn't bite, but I will try with another package around Ajayi this week. The Bell owner is 1-6.

I bought A Rob with Howard And T Benjamin last Thursday prior to the game.  Thought that was a good deal for me.  Don't know now.

 
Is Russell Wilson a hold or sell low?
Hold and find a better option for the short term.  Wilson is clearly not 100% and the SEA OL isn't really good.  Much of Wilson's value comes from running the ball or scrambling and hooking up for big plays.  None of that is happening right now.

 
gotta hold.  no one is buying.  when his knee and ankle gets better (timetable?) he will put up some big games.  question is, how much longer?  ankle was week 1 or 2.  knee (dirty ####### tackle) was week 3.  seems like he should be getting better soon, but I don't know.  plays zona week 16 fwiw.

 
that said, don't listen to me.  I drafted Wilson mid/early this and last year.  dealt him last year right before he went off.  got arod in the trade.  cost me a championship (owned DJ, brown, and gronk)

I guess I'm not going to beat myself up on not trying to trade for Jay earlier in the year, but that's pretty much the subject of this thread and I don't see his name in here.

Booker may have happened just last night.

I think a lot of posts in here are shooting too high for established names instead of trying to find lesser owned or lesser prized players before they hit it.

Any other (currently) lesser valued RBs we can think of who might 'take over' who we could target or is it too late for that?

So what's the consensus on OBJ? I'm thinking of trying to move him. What's a reasonable return for him right now? I could use a RB. 

 
I got offered Jordy Nelson for him yesterday.  I've been offered Landry for him last week.  No RB's though.
I'm considering trying to flip him and Forte for something of value. Just not sure what at this point. Although, the Fitz to Forte dump combo is nice when Fitz is right (almost vomited typing this). Seems there might be a slight window of opportunity. 

 
Dynasty league. I'm tempted to offer Devonte Freeman or Spencer Ware for Todd Gurley. Am I buying too high?

Nope.  Likely won't get it done.

I offered in a redraft.  Ingram/Fuller for Gurley - He's on bye and has lost a few in a row.  I got the "let me digest for a day or two"  (AKA let me see if I can find anyone on waivers)

 
Allen Robinson and Jeremy Hill enough for Gurley (standard redraft)
Not the way Robinson is playing, now is the time to sell Hill more than any though.  I suspect he might not practice tomorrow.

You can try it, Gurley is on a bye, you'd be surprise what people accept.

 
Am I crazy to try and sell Drew Brees?
Totally dependent on if your team is likely to make the fantasy playoffs--as well as the schedule for your fantasy playoffs. Brees plays against the Bucs on both weeks 14 and 16--so if your fantasy playoff season goes through week 16--I'd be a buyer more than a seller. The same thing would go for Winston and Evans--as they get to go against the Saints those two weeks. 

 
I tried a package deal to a Bortles owner of Allen Robinson, Jeremy Hill, and Corey Coleman for Devonta Freeman and Golden Tate. I pitched it after Hill's breakout, but before news of Tevin Coleman being out was released. He rejected it because he felt Tate and Freeman had more upside....

Like I can't even give away ARob right now.

What kind of offers would you consider?
I would consider Will Fuller type players, if I could. If I could get Crabtree value for him I would do it in a heartbeat. Ideally, I'd package him off to someone who still sees value there to get a slight upgrade at another position. Asked Evans owner if he'd consider Jordy+Ajayi for him, as expected, solid no.

 
Any thoughts on what Nelson's value is right now.  I'm hoping to use his name to be able to get a RB.  I know there's a big Packer fan in my league and offered him Jordy and Niles Davis for Spencer Ware.  Does this seem like a fair deal?

No and it's not close. As a Ware owner, I am viewing him as a top 5-10 ROS RB with Charles still not able to get on the field in a meaningful way. Think you need to upgrade the RB you pair with Jordy to a rock solid RB2/Flex or aim lower than Ware. Just my $0.02.

If he's a huge homer, you have a chance. And I mean HUGE. Jordy is a major topic of discussion in a lot of places, done next to nothing this year and is being played to a draw FFB point wise with Adams. Davis hasn't done anything yet and may not. Ware is arguably a RB1 and will remain so as long as Charles' knee stays balky.

 
I'm "asking for a friend!"  Would it be inconceivable for "my friend" to offer Beckham for Marshall?   :rolleyes:
:loco: If you're not talking about DGB, that's nuts dude.  I own Marshall and did own Beckham in dynasty league.  I traded Beckham for Evans this week.  I would never in a million years give OBJ for Marshall even if it was a redraft league.  I actually feel a tad queasy about giving him for Evans.  I mean I see the eye roll but if you're at all serious, sheesh.

It is DGB, and thanks for the reply.  I'm just thinking out loud with this, here's why.  DGB (10.9) and Marshall (8.0) are averaging similar numbers in ESPN standard scoring, redraft league.  DGB (@ Pitt, Dal, Det) and Marshall (Ind, @ SF, Mia) may be a push with playoff schedules.  But, as SID2006 mentioned above, Fitz is coming back with a chip on his shoulder.  He can throw 6 picks a game, as long as he keeps feeding Marshall.  But Eli!  The best thing that happened to me in our draft was somebody beating me to him.  With no running game and Eli sucking, DGB may be the more skilled but I like Marshall's upside going forward.  Like I say, just thinking out loud.

The only problem with my team is I'm constantly streaming my D's and Kickers. I usually can't get the best WW defenses, leaving me tablescraps to work with. Who should I be targeting here for ROS/playoffs?

 
What's Booker's value today in a PPR redraft league?  Thinking a high end RB 2...think he has RB 1 value as long as CJ is out, but with the potential of CJ returning, knocks him down to higher end RB 2 value.
