Week 6 Fantasy Football Buy Low Sell High

 Buy Low 

  

Maurice Jones-Drew

MJD has struggled for the most part to start this season aside from his week 3 performance against Indianapolis. However, he has already had to face top defenses in Minnesota, Houston, and Chicago. His schedule gets much easier as the year goes on. Coming off a bad week and headed for a bye this week, you can get him really cheap.

Roddy White

After a phenomenal performance against Carolina, Roddy White struggled against Washington.  It wasn't White that struggled however, it was the success of Tony Gonzalez and Julio Jones who combined for 23 receptions over 200 yards and 2 scores. As much as I hope those numbers come again this year, ( I own both Julio and Gonzalez on my team) it probably won't happen again. White is one of the most consistent receivers in the league and should perform on a week to week basis. Get him now while you can.

James Starks

With Cedric Benson out most people are going to go after Alex Green which is the right choice for this week. However, Starks is going to be active this week for the first time this year and he will steal many touches and eventually win the starting job by week 7.  You should be able to pick him up off the waiver wire or if he's owned get him really cheap.

Hakeem Nicks and Greg Jennings

Both these guys have been injured all years for the most part. Don't forget when healthy they are easily top 7 receivers and there are most likely some very annoyed fantasy owners out there right now. These two studs are as low as they will be all year.

Andre Johnson

Andre Johnson has struggled all season aside from week 1, but he's one of the best deep threats in the game to go along with his incredible strength and toughness.  Coming off 2 really bad weeks in a row you can get him cheap right now.  He's a WR1 once he gets it going, get him while you can.

 

Sell High

 

Victor Cruz

You can enjoy salsa time while you can but when Nicks comes back into the lineup Cruz is going to fall out of the top 10.  After two fantastic weeks back to back, you can probably get Roddy White for Cruz. Any top flight wide receiver is available if you're willing to trade Cruz.

Marques Colston

An inactive Lance Moore and Jimmy Graham getting injured in the first quarter contributed to Colston's huge game.  Moore and Graham are the goal line targets and will take those touchdowns away from Colston.  On top of that Drew Brees won't be throwing for four touchdowns every week.  You can probably get Andre Johnson for Colston straight up right now or other mid to low level WR1s.

Reggie Wayne

Coming off a career game, Reggie Wayne's stock is as high as it will ever be. 200 yards on 13 receptions will not happen again. Sell him high now, you won't be able to get WR1 with Wayne any time of the year but now.

Ahmad Bradshaw

Let's face it, it was the Browns.  Bradshaw probably won't more 20 carries again this season better yet the 30 he had last Sunday. The Giants are a passing team, and always will be. Trade Bradshaw after this career performance.

Jamaal Charles

Jamaal Charles has been on a tear lately, but the New Orleans defense, 2 very fortunate touchdowns against San Diego, and 30 carries against Baltimore have all contributed to this.  He's currently playing like a top 3 running back, which is a little too high for him. You can probably get Matt Forte or even Ray Rice with the way Charles has been playing. Sell him before it's too late.
