Buying Low

[ChiefGator]

Anyone trying to make trades for players which are buy low right now?

I proposed Donald Brown for Wes Welker since the team with Welker is 0-2 and had nothing for RB's. Ryan Williams, Hillis, Every Washington back EXCEPT Morris. At least Brown is a starting RB.

Got this trade to go through. Donald Brown straight-up for Welker. I'm kind of weak at RB now though, with just Cedric Benson backing up Ray Rice and Darren Sproles in a 14-team .5 PPR league with return yards counting as well.

Good trade? Bad trade?

Roster is now:

QB: Matt Ryan
WR: Percy Harvin ( currently #1 ranked WR in this league due to scoring )
WR: Antonio Brown ( #32 - but the TDs have to start happening I would think )
RB: Ray Rice (#5 RB)
RB: Darren Sproles (#4 RB)
TE: Gresham ( #28 TE - about to pull the plug on him )
Q/W/T/R: Matt Schaub
K: Jason Hanson
DEF: Seattle

B: Christian Ponder (QB)
B: Wes Welker (WR)
B: Kenny Britt (WR)
B: Cedric Benson (RB)
B: Kyle Rudolph (TE)
B: Kellen Winslow (TE)

Not a bad team for 14 teams. I'm a Welker owner -- so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. He scored 9 last week. If he could maintain that every week I'd be a pretty happy guy.

Welker is a mystery this year. On one hand, the Hernandez injury should get him more targets. On the other, Welker was franchised this year and couldn’t agree on a deal, and they appear to have a replacement ready. Perhaps BB is pulling a Pioli move with Welker.

[ChiefGator]

Yeah, it's really hard to read where it is going for Welker, especially with BB running the press conferences.

[CJizzles]

I read on CBS that Welker may be moved before the trade deadline.

Wondering, if that might be true where he might wind up.

[ChiefGator]

Yeah, not sure about any possible forthcoming trade, but I certainly feel good about this trade now. Not that Donald Brown was a slouch this week, but next week I can sub Welker in for Antonio Brown and feel fairly confident.
