STOCK TIPS: BUY LOW/SELL HIGH

One of the main things to look at when accessing the value of your players is the schedule they have played and who they play the rest season. Many players statistics are either inflated or down because of these reasons. At this time of year bye weeks are reaching their end, and you will have to put a consistent lineup out there. The best case scenario is to get players on the upswing not on the downslide.

BUY LOW

Jason Witten- If you watched the Monday Night game last week, you noticed that once Tony Romo entered the game, Jason Witten emerged from the dead. Romo tended to look for Witten when he was in trouble, and with a poor offensive line, this should continue as long as he plays QB. He should come close to his 2005 form with the quarterback switch.

Jake Delhomme- Delhomme has just been average so far this season which simply is not enough for his owners. It was expected that with the WR tandem of Keyshawn Johnson and Steve Smith, Delhomme's numbers would go through the roof. There is still a chance for this as Delhomme has always been a very good second half player. Expect him to pick up his game as the season continues.

Derek Mason- The Ravens newly acquired WR has been one of the biggest disappointments at his position. Through six games he has just 310 yards. He has received a lot of looks and should have had at least one touchdown last week, that went to Mark Clayton on a fluke play. He's never had less than five touchdowns with McNair as his QB, so expect a rise in his points the rest of the season.

Willis McGahee- The Bills star RB hasn't topped 80 yards the last four weeks and with a bye this week his owners should be restless. Willis is one of those players that has a favorable schedule for the rest of the season. He should put up impressive numbers and finish as at least a top 10 RB.

SELL HIGH

Michael Vick- If you had the guts to play Vick last week against Pittsburgh's defense, I'm sure you've been happy since Sunday. Now have the guts to trade him. Vick's four touchdown games are as rare in his career as the Lions winning a game. He's an improved QB over last season, but he's clearly not the elite passer you saw on Sunday. The Falcons are a running team, and pass first offense will not last.

Terry Glenn- The second WR for Dallas has gotten off to a decent start, but his numbers are sure to suffer without his biggest fan, Drew Bledsoe, behind center. Romo did not look often to Glenn in the second half, and the young QB will feel the pressure to get the ball into the hands of T.O. Glenn was once an every week start, but if you can't trade him he's lost his value.

Reggie Brown- A budding star in this league would surely have been a top 10 WR if it were not for the late trade for Donte' Stallworth. The numbers that Brown put up in Stallworth's absence won't be as consistent once he comes back. The first few weeks of the season Stallworth was Brown's favorite target. Expect it to vary week to week who plays better.
