BUY LOW/SELL HIGH
With many players struggling early in the season, many fantasy owners are tempted to give up on their players after three poor weeks. It is important to watch the following players this weekend, and if they continue the poor play, you will be able to get them for a reduced rate. Also there are several players out there who are performing so well, they will almost certainty come down to earth.
BUY LOW
Jon Kitna/Roy Williams- I'd actually recommend trying to get either of both of these players before they play this weekend. Both players had high expectations when coming into this season, however they struggled mightily in the first two weeks. However, after playing Seattle and Chicago, the Lions will not face two games as grueling for the rest of the year. Get them while you can.
Jake Delhomme- Delhomme's shortcomings are clearly a result of the loss of Steve Smith. With Smith coming back this week, Delhomme's number should take an immediate boost. Carolina is traditionally a second half team, so Delhomme will help when it most matters. Remember, the Panthers were a a very popular Super Bowl pick, and it is foolish to give up on their QB after just a few weeks.
Marc Bulger- Bulger has been hurt by the poor offensive line play, but with a really weak schedule (playing the NFC North and AFC West) he should turn things around soon. This is one of the best offenses in the NFC and if Linehan can get productive numbers out of Frerotte, he can do the same with Bulger.
Jake Plummer- Okay, I've never been a very big Plummer enthusiast, but Denver's offense is too good for him to suffer all year. Like Mike Shanahan said, Plummer did start off poorly last year as well, and because Shanahan said Plummer will play all year unless he implodes it is not a stretch to assume he'll turn things around.
SELL HIGH
Brian Westbrook- The Eagles hate running the ball and only do it when they want to blow a 24-7 lead. Westbrook is banged up again with what seems to be an injury that will never go away, and since he has put up a nice numbers so far it would a smart decision to make a deal after his matchup with the Niners.
Rex Grossman- The following statements are true. The Bears played the Packers and Lions in the first two weeks. Dan Marino is not wearing a Rex Grossman jersey and playing for the Bears. Grossman's value will never be higher than it is currently which means get as much as you can for him right now.
Reggie Bush- The Heisman winner is the most overrated player in fantasy. He will have about 50 yards rushing and and 40 yards receiving every week which is good for about 5-7 fantasy points in most leagues. However, his performances will be overhyped every week by ESPN. Some one in your league has fallen in love with Bush because of his spectacular jukes. Find that person and make him overpay.
Fred Taylor- Anyone who has played fantasy football the last five years knows that one of the few reliable truths is that Fred Taylor will suffer a season-ending injury. With back-to-back solid performances it may be time to trade him now while he's healthy. He's going to produce while he is active, but if you chance it every week, you will inevitably get burned.
