STOCK TIPS: BUY LOW OR SELL HIGH

Before we get into this week's stock tips I'd like to sadly point to the end of an era in football. Clinton Portis, our favorite impressionist, has put an end to his long string of colorful characters such as Bro Sweetz, Sheriff Gonna Getcha, and Coach Janky Spanky. The memories will last a lifetime, and we thank you Southeast Jerome.

BUY LOW

Chad Johnson- Right now Chad is at the lowest value possible. This may be the only week where you will be able to pry him from his owners. He has started off slow, but he's one of the few players in the league who rarely get hurt and put up consistent stats year to year. If you can get him now, expect 1100 yards and 8 or 9 TD's the rest of the way.

Ronnie Brown- This first round fantasy pick has been the biggest non-health related bust so far. Brown's schedule eases up in the coming weeks and should be an elite fantasy RB the rest of the way. Try to get him before his game with Houston and acquire by trading an overacheiver thus far.

Tom Brady- His stats aren't bad so far, but they are not what you would expect from a top 5 QB. His lack of TD's can be attributed to loss of his two biggest WR's. It seems like he is beginning to trust his young receivers, and as the season roles on the chemistry will build and the statistics will too.

Joey Galloway- Everyone around your league probably has lost faith in every Tampa Bay offensive player following the injury to Chris Simms. Number one wide receiver Joey Galloway is probably be severely undervalued as a result. He's still a good WR 2 or 3 and will most likely be Bruce Gradokowski's safe blanket for the rest of the season. You can probably get him real cheap.

SELL HIGH

Marques Colston- Honestly, I don't advise trading Colston at all if he is your TE, but if you have a better starter (Gates, Gonzalez, Shockey), see what you can get for Colston. He's become so valuable that someone will most likely overpay for him and help you in another area of need.

Frank Gore- The draft sleeper has been a gift to most fantasy owners. Now be happy with what he's done for you and use him to grab a bigger fish. Gore has several issues that are eventually going to hurt him. He's very susceptible to injury so it's only a matter of time before he gets hurt. He's already lost his goal-line carries to Michael Robinson. He has severe fumbling issues. If you're not convinced, Gore will almost definitely burn you later in the year.

Chris Henry- Someone in your league is probably desperate for receiver help, and Henry could start for their team. He's a good guy to trade because he plays with a great QB which boosts his value. However, his off the field issues and being a 3rd WR make him a risky play each week.
