Fantasy DC's Week Two: Buy/Sell Report

FantasyDC provides you with every weeks Buy/Sell choices. Look back at Week One and then look at the new names for Week Two.

Brett Celek PHI, TE

Eight receptions, 104 yards, 11 targets

Jon Dove: Buy—Brett Celek has a firm grasp on the starting tight end position on an Eagles team that loves to throw the ball to tight ends. Even with McNabb out, Celek had a huge game. Right now I would start only Gonzalez, Witten, and Dallas Clark ahead of Celek.

Billy Smith: Buy—If you need a tight end, Celek looks like he would be a solid grab. He had a nice game against the Saints and is one of the few Eagles that isn’t hurt. Celek should see a lot of passes thrown his way over the next few weeks.

Fred Jackson BUF, RB

28 carries, 163 yards, six receptions, 25 yards

Jon Dove: Buy—Wow! What a game! Marshawn Lynch’s illegal activity hasn’t cost him his freedom, but it looks like it will cost him the starting running back job. Fred Jackson has gotten a lot of touches and has produced. He is a factor in both the running and passing game. There should continue to be running room for Jackson because of Owens and Lee Evans on the outside.

Billy Smith: Buy—Jackson looked great against the Bucs. I agree with Jon, Lynch’s job is in danger. I think having Lynch back will give Jackson a breather and make him more productive down the stretch. You know the Bills are going to have to give the ball to their running backs in December in Buffalo!

Darren Sproles SD, RB

10 carries, 26 yards, six receptions, 141 yards, one TD

Jon Dove: Buy—I am counting LT down and out and it is now Darren Sproles’s turn to shine. Sproles is a game breaker and his ability as a pass catcher almost guarantees a decent fantasy game each week. You may have to give up a lot to acquire Sproles, but it will be worth it.

Bill Smith: Hold—Sproles looks good catching the ball out of the backfield. He isn’t going to light it up rushing, however. I don’t think LT is the back he was three years ago, but these two complement each other well. Sproles is a really good third down back, but if he has to carry the load for four or five games, the Bolts are in trouble.

Mario Manningham NYG, WR

10 catches, 150 yards, one TD

Jon Dove: Sell—Mario Manningham is more than likely a waiver wire addition for your team, but if you happen to own him, sell high. Receivers are always a good trading chip and Manningham’s explosion has his value really high. Ship him off to a team that’s wide out light and you should get a good return. I do believe that Manningham will have at least one or two more good games, but he will lack consistency. So in a trade I would make sure you get someone that can help your team. Also when Manningham has that big game don’t kick yourself because you have to look at week-to-week production.

Bill Smith: Buy—He looked like Manning’s go-to-guy last night. He was making great catches all over the field. Defenses aren’t going to commit to doubling him because they have to leave a man in the box to stop Brandon Jacobs. He is the No. 1 wide out on a Super Bowl contender with an All-Pro quarterback. He would be a nice addition to most fantasy teams.

Clinton Portis WAS, RB

19 carries, 79 yard, two receptions, nine yards

Jon Dove: Sell—The Redskins' offense is terrible so sell Clinton Portis right now. I tend to stay away from players on bad teams. Example Steven Jackson on St. Louis and Portis on Washington. Neither of these guys will put up the numbers worthy of their draft positions. Trade Portis before his value drops any lower. Moving him will save you money on aspirin the entire season.

Billy Smith: Hold—Wait, Jonathan, I’ll let you finish, but Clinton Portis is one of the best fantasy backs of all-time (sorry, couldn’t help it)! He is going to continue to get touches and it's too early to jump ship on a back of this caliber.
