Who are your 'buy low' candidates (1 Viewer)

[thewaterboys]

I was wondering who people are targeting as 'buy low' players for dynasty leagues.

I have been looking at:

Michael Turner - he can be had cheap right now IMO. He should be healthy for next season and the team has a nice young core of players.

Matt Forte - not as sold on him compared to Turner but I have had some offers that were very low when you consider that he was a top 5 pick for most drafts this year.

Mendenhall - I was surprised to see how bad a few owners wanted to move him.

So, who is everyone targeting?

 

[Titus Pullo]

marshawn lynch. his value is lower now than it has ever been and i still believe he has the talent to turn it around like cedric benson did.

I just sold Turner in a 10 team keeper (keep 3 RB's) for Moreno and the #3 rookie pick. Not sure if the other got him 'cheap'.

Really? Seems Fred Jackson was the MUCH better RB behind the same line. And the idiot factor can't be ignored. I turned down both Buffalo backs for Schuab.

Matty Ice

 

[Pickle Rody]

Matty Ice

Agreed. With Warner retiring, Leinart has the chance to do some great things in Arizona. Most don't believe he will succeed, so he should be able to be gotten on the cheap. High risk, high reward move for sure though.

Think he's talking about Matt Ryan.

If that's the case, I don't believe Matt Ryan is a buy low candidate. Wasn't sure who he was talking about, but "Matty Ice" made me think of "Natty Ice" which led me to thinking "party boy" which of course led me to Leinart.I think Leinart is a great buy low with high risk/high reward. But I wouldn't put him on my fantasy team to be the starter. I'd bring him in on the cheap as a backup.

 

[JohnnyU]

Sometimes low value should be low value

 

[ratbast]

SRice can be had for those who think Favre retiring will kill his value. Not really buy low but maybe a discount.

PThomas can be had for much less than his upside.

Forsett with all the talk of Seattle drafting an RB like Spiller/trading for Bush

SJax with the news of late.

Slaton

MBarber?

GJennings, Megatron and Fitzgerald

Was talking about Matt Ryan. Relatively mediocre season, he may be able to be had cheaper because he didn't break out as expected.

 

[Kitrick Taylor]

I like taking talented guys coming off a bad season for my buy lows. It works great in redrafts especially.

D. Bowe

E. Royal

J. Cutler

M. Turner

All are talents that disappointed in 2009.

Guys to avoid for mostly opposite reason:

Orton

Campbell

Forte

Meachem

 

[thatguy]

I really like Cutler as a buy low... He had an abysmal season yet still threw for 27 TDs and 3600 yards with a ragtag group of WR's. With a full off-season to continue to gel with his WR's, and the possibility that the Bears at some point bring in a true #! WR, I think he still has top 5 potential.

 

[thatguy]

Others that I like are Bowe and Fitz (if his owner is worried about his QB situation) - he won't come cheap, obviously, but might come cheaper than his true value.

 

[bweiser]

i would go after larry fitzgerald. based on other comments on here, people expect a dropoff. i don't.

 

[thatguy]

I also really like the Matty Ice call... IMO all it's going to take for him to vault into the top 5 is another playmaker at WR. The Falcons would be wise to address that this offseason. He did have a somewhat disappointing sophomore campaign, but he played in a tad over 14 games and still threw for 22 TDs. Not bad for a second year QB. I think he's poised to blow up in 2010.

I like most of this list except I'd personally avoid Slaton and I'd replace Barber with Felix.

[Faust]

Anthony Gonzalez is being traded for next to nothing in most of the leagues that I am in.

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Greg Jennings. He is the #1 receiver in a strong offense with one of the top 3 dynasty QB's throwing to him. He had a down year, but his value is much higher than where most think it is.

 

[JohnnyU]

Please don't say Matty Ice anymore.......please!!

 

[Bandite]

Marion Barber---Even he goes into part time status next season, remember he was a top 10 back when he split time with JJ

I'm higher on Turner than most (in non-ppr anyway) but I still like that trade a lot assuming you can turn 1.3 into a solid contributor.

 

[thatguy]

Matty Ice. Agree with Jennings. I think if you ask most people, they'd be surprised to discover that he tallied over 1100 receiving yards this season. Not bad for what most consider at best a down year.

I think the reason fantasy people consider it a down year is because of the lesser amount of TDs compared to previous years.

 

[dickey moe]

GJennings, Megatron and Fitzgerald

Jennings for sure. Calvin Johnson is still universally rated too high for my liking (bad offense, injury history). And no one is going to let Fitzgerald go for cheap to create the opportunity as a "buy low."

For sure. But we all know TD's are fluky. I think Jennings has 8-10 TD potential in any given year. All I'm saying is that I think most fantasy players would not have guessed he notched that many yards given how 'quiet' he was this season. In truth he had a fine year in NFL terms - just didn't live up to expectations in fantasy circles.

maybe Dez Bryant?I am assuming Spiller (if Seattle drafts him) or Dwyer or Mathews (if SD takes one of those guys go top 3) go #1.

Yeah, if you can get Dez at 1.3 (assuming he doesn't land in Oakland), I love that trade for you. And if not, you likely get one of Dwyer/Matthews/Spiller - not a bad consolation prize.

If Marshall get dealt and Bryant lands in Denver...#1 right there. (and I won that pick too )

 

[JohnnyU]

Early Doucet - his value is only going to go up once Boldin is traded, and he's better than Breaston.

Donald Brown - With Addai's resurgence most are down on Brown. That won't last but one more year. Addai's gone when he becomes a FA.

Kevin Ogletree - Only a matter of time before he either replaces Roy Williams in the starting lineup, or Williams is traded.

Martellus Bennett - Would start for 95% of the teams in the NFL. He could get traded this off-season. He almost did last year. He's a stud waiting to happen.

Nate Davis - He could be starting in SF very soon.

Shawn Nelson - Has soft hands and plenty of skills. He should take a step forward in 2010, but he has no qb to throw it to him

Jacoby Jones - showed glimps of what he can do in 2009. If he keeps his head on straight he could get even better. He has passed Walter IMO.

James Davis - could be in the mix with Harrison next year

Dave Thomas - He's better than Shockey IMO.

Jerry Jones has a love affair with Roy, he won't cut Roy and nobody would trade for him---even if his salary was manageable which its not. Ogletree will have to wait atleast a year. Bennet is good but he's not better than 95% of starting TE's. he's very very raw and underdeveloped.............u don't lose playing time to John Phillips b/c u can't be trusted if your that good.i'll buy Chris Cooley wherever he ends up this year. heard many rumors of him skins moving him to acquire picks.........I don't buy it. he's the best receiving option the team has and shanny has been known to utilize a good receiving TE. and if he does happen to make it to the Patriots per rumors while Welker is recovering(if ever the same)...........cha ching!!!!!

i'd be telling any Aromashodu owner that a healthy Hester/Knox and improved Bennet will limit Aromashodu back to obscurity so i could get him on the cheap. he's not going anywhere. Cutler loves him and he's the closest thing the bears have to a lead WR, the rest are good complimentary WR's

You might be right about Bennett, but I believe he's a real talent and needs a chance to play more. I disagree with you about Roy Williams. He could definitely be replaced by Ogletree in 2010.

 

[Mr Rodgers neighborhood]

Greg Jennings, decent yardage year this past season, but I do think the 4 TD's was a fluke.

Calvin Johnson- Injuries and Daunte Culpepper derailed his season. I think this is the lowest his value will ever be.

Steve Slaton- I don't think he's as great as the hype from 2008 led some to believe, but I don't buy into the Texans drafting a RB early. The guy is still ubber talented.

 

[LHUCKS]

Comical to see Leinart's name popping up all of a sudden.

Just a year late fellas, now you actually have to give up something.

 

[Kiddnets]

Like the Donald Brown call - I think he is at least a 50/50 RB in 2010 and then the man in 2011 -

Agree with you on the Ogletree call. I snagged him on my dynasty team a while back. The whole Roy Williams situation in Dallas just doesn't seem like it will work at all. Ogletree's made some nice catches this season in limited action.

 

[CanadianNFLJunkie]

marshawn lynch. his value is lower now than it has ever been and i still believe he has the talent to turn it around like cedric benson did.

Um don't you have to wait for Buffalo to cut him, the kid smartens up and then signs on with another team before you put a comparison to Benson first?? Right now he's an immature headache/headcase. I like the following.........but I'll let you figure out why.....WR Steve Johnson, BufRB James Davis, CleRB Donny Brown, IndyRB Rashad Jennings, JaxWR Chris Chambers, KCWR Brandon Tate, NEWR Keenan Burton, St LouieWR Devin Thomas, WashTE Jared Cook, Tenn

Good QBs don't need a year to gel with their WRs. Look at Favre and Manning this year.

 

[Yitbos69]

is this because he played so well in 2009 when given the chance?

Good QBs don't need a year to gel with their WRs. Look at Favre and Manning this year.

I agree, but Favre and Manning had a LOT more to work with than Cutler, not to mention Chicago's underwhelming OC. Plus Manning is probably one of the top 5 QBs ever... it isn't fair to compare anybody to him. And Favre posted similar numbers to Cutler back when his receivers were average, so.... I think Cutler is certainly a buy low with very good upside. He won't pass Manning/Brees/Rodgers, but he could be in the mix after that.

 

[Instinctive]

lol.Is it still a buy low if the guy you're buying isn't very good so his price islow for a reason?
