which players are sell high? which players are buy low? (1 Viewer)

[jadams209]

If you had to trade players right now which ones would you be looking to sell high on? i know footballguys has this as a weekly feature, but in my opinion it comes out too late in the week. opinions will very but a consensus of certain names should come out in the end if all participate. here are my 5...

SELL HIGH

1. Michael Turner. It WAS detroit. although i think he will have a solid season

2. Earnest Graham. split carries with dunn

3. Frank Gore. Nice first half against Cards, but then Martz screws things up. plus niner D not all that.

4. Donovan McNabb. looked awesome against the rams without his best WRs, but tough schedule upcoming

5. Jay Cutler/Eddie Royal. Umm, two words: Brandon Marshall

BUY LOW

1. Joseph Addai.

2. Steven Jackson.

3. T.J. Houshmanzadah.

4. Santonio Holmes.

5. Braylon Edwards.

Mannning?

You want to sell Cutler because Marshall will be back in the line-up?Also, why do these threads never contain "hold high" and "sell fairly low" suggestions? Just because your player went off in week one doesn't mean it's always a good idea to trade him, and conversely there are times when it might be best getting something worthwhile for a player who disappoints in week one.

LOL, that is funny. And true.I would get what I could for any/all Bengals players. And SELL HIGH on D.McNabb while your at it.

buy low on Addai?! where's his O-line?! Braylon Edwards? have you seen the Cleveland Browns schedule for the next 5 games?! Brutally tough..DA is soon to be benched in favor of Quinn..I'd go the other way with Edwards, i.e., SELL HIGH..Jackson isn't a buy low candidate, that O-line is pathetic, Rams look old and slow and will be well behind in most games so they'll need to pass more,run less.. Why would you put Earnest Graham on the sell high list,when he just avg'd 9.1 yards per carry? he looked very good on Sunday..it was N.O., but still...he looked very good.. I would add:sell high:MJD - NOT going to be the TD machine he was 2 years ago, not with Greg Jones hawking goal-line carries.Cassel - dude played well, but he's a first time starter, in a division with improving defenses..don't count on NE running the chuck-n-duck offense anymore..Randy Moss - Not really a sell high candidate , but, his value HAS TO drop because of Cassel..defenses can now cheat up towards the LOS , as Cassel doesn't scare anyone..teams will throw the kitchen sink at Cassel...if he's not nearly as accurate as Brady, Moss' numbers will decline..he can't throw the deep ball as well as Brady..and what about turnovers? Cassel is good for his fair share of dumb passes..LT2 - a toe injury is tough to overcome without rest..not sure how severe it is, but its only a matter of time before it becomes a problem..buy low:Maroney - looked good last week in limited action,but they went with Morris..BOTH backs will get a lot of use over the next 15 games..D. Sproles - LT2's toe injury is definitely cause for concern.Matt Ryan - looked impressive in his NFL debut...he might have the 'right stuff'..Atl might fool everyone and actually become a playoff contender with Turner, Ryan, and Co..LJ - begins a stretch of games vs. very easy opponents in terms of rush defenses..could start ripping off a string of three or more 100+ yards games, beginning this weekend.. Steve Smith - not a big fan of SS< but, Delhomme looks awesome...this could be a banner year for Smith!

I doubt any of those players on the buy low list are available for a good price.

Michael Turner and Eddie Royal are good sell high candidates. Opponents are unlikely to overpay much for the other 3. Frank Gore would be hard to move for a better RB.

this may sound strange, but i'd consider eddie royal a "buy low" depending on what his owner thinks of him.

the classic "buy low" is becoming harder and harder to pull off. the "buy high, but not as high as it should be" is becoming a relevant play.

royal can be a "buy high" if his owner thinks he's selling high, when he's really not.

in a week, many outlets will be proclaiming that royal owners should sell high when brandon marshall comes back. it might be possible to get royal for cheaper than what his true value is if his owner doesn't think he's legit.

from what i saw last night, shanny is probably staying up at nights thinking of ways to get the ball in eddie royal's hands.

he's not just a guy who had a good night who's about to be irrelevant when marshall gets back. if his owner thinks that, i say try to buy.

not saying break the bank on the guy, but if his owner thinks it's a bit fluky, the difference in percieved value can be exploited.

I have the exact opposite view on everyone except Graham. I didn't like him all offseason and was poo-poo'd when I suggested that they went and got Dunn for a reason but that's another thread.I'd be looking to buy Turner, McNabb and definitely Cutler if I could get my hands on them. I certainly don't expect them all to put up those gaudy numbers every week but they will all be very good this season. A couple sells (not necessarily sell highs) I would have are..L. White - get something while you still canWelker Anderson -Holt/SJaxI'm not suggesting to sell dirt cheap but I'd look to swap them off my roster.

I wouldn't be selling Frank Gore. The guy is a workhorse who will either be running or catching the ball no matter what the game situation is. One of the handful of RB's who are the starter, the 3rd down back, and the short yardage guy. Should be one of the 5 most productive backs.
