Fantasy Football Stock Market Update! 10/20

Fantasy Football is like the stock market: Buy Low, Sell High - Grab players that are known to pay dividends - Diversify your portfolio! Here is our Week 6 Market Outlook. 

Sell High

Terrel Owens (WR, Cin) - Ship him out!  Owens's overall rankings are skewed from two huge games.  He struggled the first 3 games of the season (50 yards/game and 0 touchdowns) and contrary to popular belief is not a weekly must-start.  If you can get good value, send him off.  If not, he will post acceptable numbers but not the kind that most sites are hyping him up to get (ranked 49 on the Yahoo! Big Board).  Keep in mind that Owens is 36 years old and a 16-week season is grueling.

Phillip Rivers (QB, SD) - Rivers is without a doubt a top tier fantasy quarterback.  However, his opponents have not been very difficult to this point (Kan, Jac, Sea, Ari, Oak, Stl)  His schedule gets much harder and injuries to Malcolm Floyd and Antonio Gates might signal some red flags.  He will be tested this week against the Pats for sure.  If you can get a guy like Drew Brees for him straight up, go in!  Another option may be to package him with another player for Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers.

Two HUGE Buy Low's after the jump!

Fantasy Football Stock Market Update! 10/13

Fantasy Football is like the stock market: Buy Low, Sell High - Grab players that are known to pay dividends - Diversify your portfolio! Here is our Week 6 Market Outlook.

Sell High:

Arian Foster (RB, Hou) - Foster is the #1 running back in many leagues but his big points have come against a weak Indianopolis defense and an even weaker Oakland defense. A portion of Foster's value comes from his situation - the number one back on a solid NFL team with a very dangerous passing game.  Gary Kubiak's running game is a headache (2009 week 15)! It's time to cash out & sell high... very high.

Matt Forte (RB, Chi) - Forte is either finding his 2008 form or proving that he is the King of Inconsistency. We like to think the latter. Our advice: exploit Forte's matchup this week against a weak Seattle defense and sell high after. Forte is currently averaging 4.2 YPC, up from a dismal 2.7 last week. Expect to see great numbers from Forte this week that will decline in coming weeks. Only 2 more hot matchups the rest of the way (Buf, Det). Forte's gettin' the boot!
