Fantasy Football Buys and Sells

Sell:

Aaron Rodgers/Greg Jennings:

So far Jennings has been the No. 1 fantasy wide receiver and Rodgers has been the second best fantasy quarterback this season.

However if you look at who the Packers have played, it isn’t completely surprising. All of the five teams the Packers have played have poor passing defenses.

In passing yards allowed per game Dallas is ranked 17th, Detroit is 29th, Minnesota is 24th, Atlanta is 22nd, and Tampa bay is 21st.

Five of the Packers next 11 games are against teams in the top 12 in passing defense. Sell Rodgers and Jennings now before they actually starts playing good passing defenses.

Reggie Bush:

I believe he has already reached his peak this season. He is currently the third ranked fantasy running back.

After his electrifying Monday night performance against the Vikings, in which he had two punt return touchdowns, people are going to be too high on him.

He still is only averaging 3.3 ypc and has only one rushing touchdown. He probably won’t get too many more punt returns touchdowns the rest of the season unless you actually think he’s going to break Devin Hester’s record.

I’m not saying that Bush isn’t a decent fantasy player because he is still going to put up some good receiving numbers. But there is no way he is going to keep up his current fantasy rate.

Buy:

Plaxico Burress:

He only has 259 receiving yards with one touchdown on the season and was suspended for last week’s game, making owners very frustrated.

Burress owners are probably questioning his character and fantasy value right now and are probably looking to trade him.

The Giants have one of the most explosive offenses in the league and there’s no way Burress is going to continue to put up modest numbers.

Thomas Jones:

Although he has been a very poor fantasy running back so far, he has games left against three out of the five worst run defenses in the league; Rams, Chiefs, and Bengals.

He also has games left against seven of the worst twelve run defenses and nine of the worst 16 run defenses. With all of these great matchups, his numbers will only go up the rest of the season.
