Week 9 Buy Low (1 Viewer)

[Stryker]

There's a Week 8 thread out there but forget it. I am gonna start a Week 9.

Some names guys are seeing as a buy low?

Few I have: Palmer, Julio Jones, Brandon Marshall.

What are some offers owners are getting for Julio? What would you accept?

 

[ROYALWITCHEESE]

Not sure you can buy Julio low. His "bad" games have been 4-58, 5-56, 4-68. That's a pretty high floor...

True. Could "buy" however from a team that may be 2-6 or 3-5..maybe.

 

[Braktastic]

Calvin Johnson. An owner with loses piling up might be more motivated than usual.

Palmer? He threw for 329 and 2 TDs.

Point taken but a lot of people still have him rated lower and with the big games Roethlisberger and Brady had, you haven't actually really heard a lot about that tho.

 

[Courtweeks87]

I'll be targeting julio heavily this week bye week mixed with a couple down games could push the owner to sell

 

[RushHour]

I'll put out a vote for Oliver in redraft at least. Not that he's not going great, but with Mathews getting closer returning and a bit of a 'down' week relatively, some owners might feel like they want to cash in before things start to go south.

true you haven't heard a lot about him, i just don't see how he can be a buy low after that game.

If he's your backup and your starter is past the bye, wouldn't you take anything of value for him? He'll be a mediocre QB. But you won't find his picture on dollars or on stamps.

I think Carson Palmer fails to be a buy low because that's about the best you're going to get out of him. Arizona's not going to get good on offense. They're just going to be stuck at good enough. The defense is too good to give him shootout games as well. High floor, low ceiling.

I think the people that actually own him are following what he is doing just fine without the hype.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

I just sold low on Lynch. Not liking his attitude or his usage. Probably his last year in Seattle. Getting up there in age.

 

[MattFancy]

What about Cam? Has a pretty nice schedule the rest of the way

 

[P Park Pimps]

I just sold low on Lynch. Not liking his attitude or his usage. Probably his last year in Seattle. Getting up there in age.

Who did you trade to get Lynch?

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Who did you trade to get Lynch?

I didn't trade for Lynch. I sold him for D Allen and a 2016 first and I threw in a 2015 2nd.

 

[Dondante]

Why so high on Julio? I haven't looked at his schedule so I'm guessing it's rather favorable? That team seems to be a bit of a mess right now.

 

[thriftyrocker]

One of the Giants WRs has to be a WR2 down the stretch esp as long as Jennings is out. Playoff schedule is favorable (TEN, WAS, STL).

 

[shader]

Why so high on Julio? I haven't looked at his schedule so I'm guessing it's rather favorable? That team seems to be a bit of a mess right now.

Because he's a top 5 WR

 

[jandyt]

Mi Floyd is a possible buy low after his zero game particularly in dynasty.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

Vernon Davis? Or is he just worthless this year?

 

[Courtweeks87]

On 3 teams I'm sitting at 6-2 I am trying to aquire the likes of julio, Calvin, gordon, watkins, Rodgers. I will be targeting the teams that are in must win situations that are going to be far more willing to part with these guys for some guys that will give them decent stat lines this week. It's crazy what people will accept when there backed in a corner. Although julio will be my main target, couple down games and bye week should be top 5 going forward

 

[Stryker]

Mi Floyd is a possible buy low after his zero game particularly in dynasty.

I own Floyd and cannot decide what I wanna do with him. I think he will be just fine. He's had two or three stinkers but other than those games he's been pretty decent. He hasn't had a high volume of receptions either. His schedule is okay and with Fitzgerald tuning up lately do we see a tick in his stats now?

 

[gchip]

Vernon Davis? Or is he just worthless this year?

The second part.

I just sold low on Lynch. Not liking his attitude or his usage. Probably his last year in Seattle. Getting up there in age.

Who did you trade to get Lynch?

I didn't trade for Lynch. I sold him for D Allen and a 2016 first and I threw in a 2015 2nd.

I'd sell Lynch for a 1st & change. Good deal.

 

[travdogg]

What about Cam? Has a pretty nice schedule the rest of the way

I like him and Benjamin as buy low guys. Might be tougher with benjamin, as people are really reluctant to deal rookies who have any production even in redraft leagues. Carolina has a great schedule coming up, might not be a singe bad matchup the rest of the season.

I like Michael Floyd as well, he a zero game, but I watched that entire game and he was fingertips away from 2 30+ yard TDs. Many owners who didn't watch the game, might assume he's fallen behind Fitz or even Brown in the pecking order. Reality is Palmer seems to just throw to who is open. I think Floyd will be the Cards top WR from here on out, based on talent.

V-Jax is another guy I like. He disappeared this week, but he's always done that a couple times a year.

 

[bigbrownbag]

I think Fred Jackson is a great target. Especially ppr. He's injured and on a bye. In a perfect world he comes back after the bye if not a week or two later and no spiller. Can probably be had cheap.

 

[IgglesFan]

Yep. He was dropped last week by an owner who needed bye-week help at RB. I plan on grabbing him with my #2 waiver-wire priority.

 

[joffer]

obviously love Julio's talent, but I'm not buying. I think Atlanta is about to crash and burn hard

If you told me he is a shoe in for 280 and 2 TDs, I would take that floor any day and that seems to be his. He may get a 3 TD game soon, you never know, Football is a crazy game and Dallas just had Colt go for 290.

Absolute no-brainer. Grab FJAX in any league where he was dropped.

 

[tombonneau]

Calvin Johnson. An owner with loses piling up might be more motivated than usual.

Megatron owner. That window closed 2-3 weeks ago. With news him being ready after the bye, we're all going with the ship at this point.

Calvin Johnson. An owner with loses piling up might be more motivated than usual.

Megatron owner. That window closed 2-3 weeks ago. With news him being ready after the bye, we're all going with the ship at this point.

Not all of you. I was able to acquire him straight up for McCoy. Calvin owner was on the ropes at 3-5. McCoy gives him a tiny bit of hope. Calvin after the bye with a 3-6 record wouldn't do him much good. It's not too late.

 

[Eagle Eye]

It's not too late to trade McCoy for him but it's too late to buy him low.

 

[ORC]

Jordan Cameron is a name I'd keep an eye on.

He's got an unusually low catch rate and TD/target percentage for a TE. Both things he's done better in the past and should improve. Add the concussion and he's probably a good target for production in the critical weeks if you have the bench space.

I add these together and look at Cameron as a sell low. He is freakishly talented, but his usage and the continued emergence of Hawkins seems to spell continued mediocrity with maybe one or two games with high production.

 

[steelers1080]

As a Floyd and Julio owner I'm still not selling on them. With Floyd I'm just hopeful that Fitz leaves next year and Floyd becomes a true #1.

With Julio, his 28 pt game came with Roddy White out. If he gets injured or leaves next year, Julio is going to explode.

I think McCoy is the buy low in this scenario

Apparently my trade partner agrees with you. That's what makes trades work. Value for value.

Add to that Gordon's return around when Cameron may be cleared to play, and you have even fewer targets for Cameron. Also, have to think that Manziel's time is going, which could also result in some growing pains for the passing game.

 

[Eagle Eye]

Rashad Jennings is a nice buy low for a team heading to the playoffs. With this weeks news, and all the byes, teams on the cusp may not be able to wait any longer.

I'm 5-3 and was offered vjax and Baldwin by a 7-1 team. I just might do it.

 

[zamboni]

Few I have: Palmer, Julio Jones, Brandon Marshall.

Curious about others thoughts on Marshall, as I am considering trading for him.

The team seems to be in disarray a bit, with Marshall mouthing off. But this is a team that may be throwing the ball a ton, and we know Cutler loves throwing to Marshall.

Good points. Seemed to me last year that Gordon's play actually helped Cameron last year, as teams had to shift coverage towards Gordon, leaving seams and open spaces in zone coverage. But like you, I don't think Gordon's return this year will mean the same for Cameron, especially with Manziel trying to get comfortable running the offense.

Actually, outside of a few games last year, Gordon's ascension took out a lot of the steam of Cameron's own ascension. Last year Cameron did much of his damage the first 4 weeks, the first two of which Gordon was still suspended. Once Gordon got going around mid-season, it was all Gordon all the time, with Cameron's stats very modest at about 5-7 targets a game. I can see the same thing happening again, whether it's with Hoyer or Manziel there.

Maybe next year Cameron can shine again with another team, but as with you, I don't see much upside this year.

buy on Garcon IMO....with RG3 coming back into the lineup....

I think people put a ton of stock in Cameron's first four games last season while ignoring most of the other 31 games of his career. I am not convinced he is some kind of freakishly talented TE. It seems to me that he has been good enough to take advantage of last year's opportunity with Gordon out but not good enough to consistently create opportunities on his own.

Aaron Rodgers, maybe?

LeSean McCoy - he gets his o linemen back eventually, right?

Khiry Robinson and Pierre Thomas

Ryan Mathews

Just throwing it out there. With Colinsworth making a big deal of the hamstring Sunday night, maybe some owners panic. In fairness, I put maybe.
