Week 10 - Buy Low/ Sell High (1 Viewer)

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. 
Hard to tell until we have clarity on Anderson. I'd probably be asking for about that high-end RB2 range, but honestly he may have more value as a hold for the next three weeks. Could produce solid RB1 numbers, that you wouldn't get from any sensible trade target.

I would agree with this. If CJ is definitely out for the season then you could get good value for him. Your best chance would be before Sunday. No body knows how booker will do with a full load but a lot are assuming he is a rb1. That may or may not be true so the only way for his value to go is down after Sunday.

This is all only relevant if CJ is out for the year. 

 
Dez a sell high? Great game last night, only 4 catches on 14 targets, his name value could help you net a top 15 WR in a package.  Dallas wants to run the ball and limit Prescott?

 
I was very encouraged by the number of targets Dez had yesterday.   He was very close to having a couple more TDs if Dak made better throws.  I am optimistic that he is top 15 wr rest of schedule. 
I just think the game script playing catch-up helped him get those targets. Dallas wants to pound the ball and I think over the second half of the season Dak will play worse, opening up a possibility of Romo coming back, which could be good. Even though the Cowboys are winning from what I saw in a few people watching the All-22 Dak had some terrible mechanics last night and missed a ton of throws. The 14 targets are encouraging however it might be a good time to pounce and sell him if you can end up with a Cooper or someone in a package.

 
Anyone selling high on Booker or holding? Fumble and then lost a goal-line carry but still had a solid PPR day.
I would hold.  DEN best chance of winning is running the football a lot.  Not many RBs are getting 20+ touches a game.....and Booker should get that every week.

Sell only if have excellent RBs already and Booker is a luxury.

 
I got Dez in a trade last week and Im holding.  I also liked the 14 targets and was encouraged by the few shots they took to Dez and the one jump ball type target near the goalline.  Maybe them being a dominant running team will allow Dez to be single covered more frequently. Dak's stuggles dont bother me because Romo will be healthy at some point this year.  Not saying there should be a change at QB, just that if they do change you get Romo instead of a typical backup QB.

He's getting a second test on a shoulder injury... my guess is it's nothing

Regarding his fumble, I think this was commented on that he's has a history of this, which is unfortunate. I'm not a fan of going back to college days to say someone has fumbilitis, but the stats in his limited NFL action aren't real favorable so far. 

I am holding... I tried trading him to the Anderson owner. Offered Gio and Booker for Gordon. He declined. This was the day the news came out about Anderson. He declined before Anderson was put on IR, but this was when I was on here telling people to buy Booker if they could. I wonder if I offered it now if he'd accept. I'm not sure I would, but it'd be nice to rid myself of the headache that is Gio.

In 2014 when Demarco had his huge year, Dez went off for 1320/16. Dallas pounding the ball and Dez being productive are not mutually exclusive. Dak had a rough game but he is still building chemistry with Dez. Dez still had 114/1.

Regarding Booker, the fumble wasn't that bad, he didn't give it up on a simple hit or anything.

He was changing the ball from hand to hand on the sideline in anticipation of reaching it out over the goal line, but the defender closed quickly and made a nice play to pull his arms away from the ball as he was trying to grip it.

Sucked cause it cost him another TD, but that seems like more of an experience thing rather than bad ball security. I haven't seen a ton of him outside the last two weeks though so I'm not sure about any issues he's had in the past.

Coming out of the bye more healthy-- with Cutler back and playing for his career basically vs that schedule... I see NO REASON alshon jeffrey isn't a top 15 WR as he was drafted ROS.... I would try to buy wherever I can. He shoulda had 3 tds last night. Dropped one right in his hands, worked Rhoads on a post corner but Cutler chucked it over his head, and than finally scored on that in-break.

Dude is gonna get the ball a lot.

Shoulder injury?

 
Thinking of offering Enunwa for Martin but have heard nothing on Martin's progress or lack thereof, only that he isn't practicing yet.

Worth the risk or stupid move?

 
Tyrell Williams for my 2 2nds 18 and 2019 I traded away? Is that a sell high.

I plan on rebuilding. 2nd in 18 should be a 5-12 rookie pick. not sure about 19'

 
Thinking of offering Enunwa for Martin but have heard nothing on Martin's progress or lack thereof, only that he isn't practicing yet.

I assume Enunwa isn't starting for you.  So to acquire a potential top 15 RB for a WR that is a WR4, sure it's worth the risk.  The Martin owner would be selling pretty low.

 
Am I crazy for trying to move Ware and a receiver like Marvin Jones for Gurley? He is thinking about it. 
Yes. I think that's crazy. I essentially traded Gurley to get Ware (and Kelvin Benjamin) a couple weeks ago. I'd have done it straight up. Ware is a top 10 PPR back and could be better than that going forward as long as this concussion doesn't become a problem.

If you have the WR depth, I'd do it. When/If Martin comes back, he's got a pretty clear road for a ton of carries. No Simms and Rodgers is banged up now too. And the Bucs have a really nice schedule going forward.

 
He turned me down.  He countered with Martin for Mike Evans  :rolleyes:
In a redraft, if we knew Martin were healthy.... nah, still wouldn't do it unless your lineup is like 3rb and 3wr.

As much as I like Enunwa, he isn't worth Martin.  Doug's true value is somewhere in the middle here.

It is a redraft.  We start 2RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE).   The guy is fairly loaded at RB:  Ajayi, Murray, J Stewart, Coleman, Langford, J. White and Martin.  His WRs are AJ Green, DeShaun (both on bye) and Diggs and Lockett.  So I thought he might bite, no harm in trying.

But then he counters with Martin for Evans.   Now I know that Martin is a potential top back and so I can understand him turning down the trade but at this point Martin still isn't practicing and there is no word on when he'll return and at what capacity when he does.  Wanting the #3 scoring WR in the league seems like a pretty lofty price tag.

FWIW, I wouldn't give Evans either. But, with that lineup, RBs, especially workhorses are simply worth more than almost any WR - Evans being one of the few exceptions.  IMO, Evans/Martin is closer than Enunwa/Martin (FBG's top 200 forward seems to agree); I'd guess he sees your offer as a lowball and in response he asked for more than he expects you to give. 

DeShaun?  

 
Yes. I think that's crazy. I essentially traded Gurley to get Ware (and Kelvin Benjamin) a couple weeks ago. I'd have done it straight up. Ware is a top 10 PPR back and could be better than that going forward as long as this concussion doesn't become a problem.
I don't think it's crazy at all.  Ware has had 3 really good games this season and the rest were sub par.  Now he's questionable with a concussion and West is going to get more carries.  Marvin Jones has fallen off.  Gurley has been consistent and still has the potential to go off.

If you look at past performance it looks like a bad trade but looking forward I think it's worth considering.  Not crazy.

 
I've been struggling all week trying to 2 for 1 and upgrade.   Cobb, Sanders, Ingram, Gio, Moncrief.    I'm trying for Jordy Nelson, Hopkins, and Allen Robinson.  We only start 1RB, 1WR and then flex positions, so positions don't matter as much.  I've also tried Graham and a player to go after Gronk.  I've tried for Miller and Freeman in separate deals, not much luck.  Obviously starting as high as I can go.  A lot of players are bunched up in ROS projections at FBG's

I agree, but if you look at it from his perspective, you're asking for last year's #3 FF RB, who SHOULD be returning soon to a situation where the HC has shown a desire to run the ball A LOT, where he will likely have little to no competition for touches, and has a pretty nice schedule ROS.  In exchange, you are offering a WR who (after this week) is going to be part of his rotation at WR2 (I wouldn't put Enunwa clearly ahead of Diggs or DJax; he'd likely have to play matchups at that spot each week).  You were attaching a pretty lofty price tag to Enunwa, so he probably figured he'd respond with a similar offer, tilted in his favor, figuring you might bite, no harm in trying.

Fair enough.

Worth considering but I'd rather have Ware than Gurley. They're both the focal point of their respective offenses and that's not going to change (except for possibly this week due to concussion). Yeah Marvin has slumped but still a starter in most any format.

FBG top 200 projects Gurley at 14.8 PPR going forward and Ware at 14.6, both top 10 players so it's just who you prefer personally.

non PPR, I had D lewis last year, but not sure there are enough mouths to feed in NE.. but he was damn good last year.. but the injury.

Spec adds:

D Lewis, Rawls,

Which is the better pre-emptive pickup for a 2nd half push?

And is it worth canning McKinnon for them in a Non-PPR standard league

Lewis. I'd rather have the guy in the much better offense if they both get healthy. 

 
Trade for Ware this week. I guess you can say Ware is a bye low because he's out this week?   Used Gio Bernard and Moncrief.

12 team PPR league Q-R-W-T-F-F-K-D (4 bench)

Wanted to swing a 2 for 1 to try and pick up Gostikowski. (4th waiver claim- hopefully get him)

Next week I can drop Janikowski for a WR to replace Moncrief like Coleman/Britt/Parker/John Brown or Ebron at TE.

RB's now  Booker/Ware/Ingram

WR's - OBJ/Dez/Cobb/Sanders. 

So choosing 4 of those 8 each week.

 
I think he's a hold unless you have another top 6 RB on your roster.  Not many guys this year who will make you feel like you got one of the RB's that will guarantee you 20+ touches.
Also have David Johnson and Melvin Gordon.  Can start 3.

Would likely try to ship Murray and a WR for an upgrade at WR and downgrade at RB.
