Sell High, Buy Low 


Week one has come and gone, and with it my fantasy dreams yet again. I'm sure there are many people who are looking for an improvement to their team, much like myself. Here are some people that I believe you can either sell for more than they are worth, and some folks you can pick up for cheap. I will avoid the obvious Allen Hurns and focus on other less obvious players. 

Sell High

  • Vernon Davis - The big fellow had a 2 TD game, but did so on only 6 targets. The cowboys don't have a good Defense, in fact I'm not sure they have a defense. I believe he will be seeing less targets this year with Crabtree, Boldin, and Johnson as well as a 2 headed monster of a running game in San Fran. If you have another tight end option, see what you can get for him.
  • Mark Ingram - Another 2 TD performer from week 1. Some things to be worried about with Ingram are that he is in a multi-running back system, and was playing against the second worst rush defense from 2013. Shop this former Heisman winner around. 
  • Darren Sproles - The 5'6'' 190 pound ball of speed was off to a rough start averaging 2 ypc on his first 10 carries, than busts off 49 yard touchdown. If unreliability is your thing, keep him. 

Buy Low


  • Keenan Allen - The offence was committed to throwing to the 2nd year man, looking his way 9 times. He had to go up against arguably the second best corner in the league in Patrick Patterson. Give him one more week though, as next week Richard Sherman and the L.O.B have his number. 
  • Eddie Lacy - A mild concussion and a down week have the price low on the former Alabama running back. He played the Seahawks last week in a down week for the whole offence. He should start next week having passed his first part of the concussion protocol the day after the game. See how low you can go for price. 
  • Michael Crabtree - Another San Francisco player on this list. The former Biletnikoff Award winner had only 2 receptions on 4 targets for 25 yards last week. That doesn't look promising, but he was hobbled with a bad calf and the 49'ers got off to a rocketing start last week and just simply didn't throw the ball around a lot in the second half. Look for him to get his in the coming weeks.
