Week 5: Buy/Sell

All Access / By /

Are you ready for some… Tuesday? Night? Football? Hopefully, everything goes according to plan and the NFL can stop playing hot potato with the schedule. But as we’re in unprecedented territory, you should be more and more willing to deal your guys. Don’t get attached to your favorite freight train of a running back (looking at you, Derrick Henry!) because anything can happen this season. Luckily, you have us to help you out. Here are our favorite buys and sells for the week.

Week 4 Buy/Sell

All Access / By /

Well, that was a weird week. Did we just have two Monday Night Football games and a week four bye? Why yes… yes we did. In all honesty, props to the NFL for getting that Chiefs vs. Patriots rescheduled for Monday night. That game certainly caused a good number of fantasy commissioners to scramble for backup plans and contingency scenarios. Now hopefully we will continue to get good news about the Titans containing the COVID outbreak that left us (read: me) without Derrick Henry last week. Regularly scheduled bye weeks are upon us, which means the pool of legitimate starting players is shrinking even more. Time to get to trading. Check out who we’re buying and selling after the first four weeks of the season.

Week 3 Buy/Sell

All Access / By /

Week three is when you know. If a guy has been bad for the first two weeks, it can be easy to chalk it up to small sample size. If a guy is bad for three straight games, you can’t pretend anymore. The story is the same with breakout players. Calvin Ridley, D.K. Metcalf, and James Robinson? Yeah, they’re for real. Joe Mixon and Carson Wentz? Time to move on. Now that you know, the next move is to adjust your expectations. Let go of whatever pre-draft notions you have and take an honest look at the players on your team. And then… get to dealing!

Week 2 Buy/Sell

All Access / By /

Can we have a redo on week two? That was B-R-U-T-A-L! We lost Saquon and Courtland Sutton for the year, and CMC for weeks. Week one waiver wire darling Parris will miss time with a PCL injury. Will Fuller (of course) and Davante Adams are dealing with hamstring issues. Raheem Mostert took it 80 yards to the house with his first carry and then proceeded to sprain his MCL. Who did I miss? It seemed as if fantasy managers were taking one punch to the gut after another on Sunday. Whether or not you survived the injury onslaught in week two, your team could probably use some tinkering. Here are our favorite buys and sells of the week.

NFC North Divisional Nuggets: Week 5

Dynasty / By /

Geronimo Allison (WR-GB)
It’s very clear that Allison is the team’s third-best option when Adams and MVS are both healthy, but if he finds a way to produce before Adams can come back from injury you’ll want to act fast in selling him. He’s only commanding an 11% target share and 11% of the team’s air yards, even with the increased opportunity the last couple games. Those figures are just not something you can reliably start any given week, as 11% of 35 passes is just three targets.

Dynasty / By /

It’s cliche as all hell to say “Buy Low and Sell High.” That doesn’t make it any less true. The constant fluctuation of a player’s perceived value amongst the masses, depending on the week they’ve had is what most players think of when they consider buying low or selling high. I’m a person that lives

In case you missed it, spoiler alert, San Francisco 49ers running back (and off-season fantasy football darling) Jerick McKinnon tore the ACL in his right knee on the final play of Saturday’s practice. Although you never want to see a player get hurt, as a fantasy football owner, this will often create opportunity for one,

Time To Sell High: Cash out on these Five Players

Dynasty / By /

Your portfolio of dynasty teams is like a collection of assets. Like any asset, their value will appreciate and depreciate. The key to dynasty success, similar to managing any asset portfolio, is selling when the assets are overvalued and buying when they are undervalued. By taking advantage of inefficiencies in the dynasty trade market, you

Fantasy Running Backs to Avoid in 2018

Uncategorized / By /

The cycle’s in fantasy football are like clockwork. My first fantasy league was my senior year of high school during the 2005-06 season. Ladanian Tomlinson broke the touchdown record by hitting pay dirt 28 times, to go along with 1,800+ yards. Twenty-two running backs broke the 1,000-yard barrier that year. TWENTY-TWO! Willis McGahee missed two

Post Hype Buys: Tarik Cohen

  I made an amazing discovery while using the RotoViz Game Splits App. It appears that when [profiler]Tarik Cohen’s[/profiler] usage increases so does his productivity. Wow, mind blown! In games where Cohen had 5 or more receptions, he scored 13.3 fantasy points per game. In games with less than 5 receptions, he only scored 5.56 per game. Wait,
