Fantasy DC's Week Three: Buy/Sell Report

Santana Moss WAS, WR
10 receptions, 178 yards, 1 TD

Jon Dove—Sell—Some fantasy owners are so worried about filling a need that they will overlook a player’s true production. Moss can be that trading chip that gets you that missing piece. Moss will be productive but I will stay with my strategy of staying away from players on bad teams.

Bill Smith—Sell—Moss is a very streaky player. He didn’t do anything the first two weeks of the season and his numbers are inflated by his huge day against the Lions. On top of all that, Jason Campbell is one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL.

Vernon Davis SF, TE
7 receptions, 96 yards, 2 TDs

Jon Dove—Sell—I don’t trust anyone on the 49ers offense. Except for Gore’s big game last week they struggled to put up impressive points. Teams know they want to run the ball so that should open things up for Davis. However, I can’t forget that scene last year when Coach Singletary kicked Davis off the field. I want to see if Davis could keep his attitude in check before I completely trust him.

Bill Smith—Buy—The 49ers are for real. With Shaun Hill running the show, look for San Francisco to run the ball and make safe passes to Davis.

Joe Flacco BAL, QB
342 yards, 1 TD

Jon Dove—Buy—It is very unlikely that Flacco is a team’s main quarterback so you might be able to pry him away for cheap. If you own Flacco you could move your other quarterback and pick up some extra pieces.

Bill Smith—Buy—Flacco is fourth in the league in TD passes and the Ravens (!) are second in the league in scoring. Most fantasy owners probably have Flacco on their bench, so if you are in need of a QB then he would be a great pick up.

Kevin Walter HOU, WR
7 receptions, 96 yards, 1 TD

Jon Dove—Hold—I agree with Bill that Walter will benefit from having Johnson opposite from him but this team worries me. I want to see Schaub stay healthy because if Dan Orlovsky is the quarterback I am selling all Texans.

Bill Smith—Buy—The Texans are going to throw the ball a lot. Andre Johnson is going to get all the attention leaving Walter with more one-on-one coverage.

Jerricho Cotchery NYJ, WR
8 receptions, 108 yards, 1 TD

Jon Dove—Buy—I am buying Cotchery and the J-E-T-S. Mark Sanchez has shown he is capable of making all the throws and you have to love that defense. I expect that the defense will cause tons of turnovers giving more opportunites to Cotchery and the offense.

Bill Smith—Sell—Cotchery is Mark Sanchez’s most dependable receiver and is having a really good year. However, he is going to start drawing double teams, and more pressure is going to be put on Sanchez (who I will talk about more in a moment.) This might very well be Cotchery’s high point.

Devin Hester CHI, WR
5 receptions, 76 yards, 1 TD

Jon Dove—Sell—I would move Hester ASAP. He will put up some good fantasy numbers but I think other fantasy owners will over pay for Hester. I will stress that I would only move Hester if I was offered a very good deal.

Bill Smith—Hold—Hester has a lot of name value and has solid numbers to this point. However, Hester is getting most of his yardage off screen passes. Look for defenses to start jamming Hester at the line and forcing him to get open deep. That might prove to be something very difficult for a guy playing his second year at wide out.

Mark Sanchez NYJ, QB
171 yards, 2 TDs, 10 rushing yards, 1 TD

Jon Dove—Hold—I am not really sure how much trade value Sanchez will have. He is a good bye week option but I would give up more than a third string running back for him. Sanchez could have more value if a big time quarterback gets injured.

Bill Smith—Sell—Sanchez is going to have to start throwing more and is getting a lot of hype with the Jets' fast start. Sanchez owners should capitalize on the hype and sell before Sanchez gets exposed.
