Week 1: Buy, Sell, Hold

Recommended Posts

Buy: Diggs. He has something to prove after the offseason turmoil. I am personally glad he let certain players know what they WERE doing wasn't good enough to win a SB. Some players heard and acknowledged this. 

 

Sell: Hamlin. Love the story, but I think he's a healthy scratch for this game. I could say "yeah, we have quality depth", but I just don't think he's better than anyone in front of him. 

 

Hold: Bernard. I have trusted the process from day 1. He hasn't played in the NFL enough to make a judgement yet.

Buy - Gabe Davis - he'll shine with Sauce watching Diggs all night.

 

Sell - Aaron Rodgers - He'll be bruised and battered and won't answer the 2nd half bell (can i do that) If not I'll say Oliver, I think he'll be invisible tonight.

 

Hold - Dawson Knox - He'll have more targets and receptions than Kincaid tonight.

 

I believe Hamlin is a healthy scratch tonight.

This is something that we used to do a few seasons ago. It's simple - so don't overthink it. It is just like stock - but we are not assigning a value, or making it overcomplicated. Prior to our first game here we are, make your pick. We will then do this again midweek each week of the season. You do not have to keep track of your players, it resets every week.

 

BUY: You pick a player who you think will have a big game or is starting to trend upward - not necessarily someone who if you had your fantasy roster you'd be sure to start - but someone who is going to make a big difference or be the wildcard X factor. This does not even have to be someone you hold.

 

SELL: you pick a player who you think will not have a good game - one who guy isn't performing, a guy who isn't matching up to the scheme or schedule, or a guy you just flat out hate.

 

HOLD: You pick a guy who you really think has potential be play a roll and add value but may not be living up to what you think they're capable of yet. Someone who you think is going to blossom soon and you want to beat the bull market.

 

my picks:
Buy: Quinton Morris. I think he can be important as Dorsey learns to work his package. He may not have big production or make a flashy play even but I think he will make a difference to what happens on the field.

 

Sell: Hamlin. I think he is best served for himself, his cause, and the world to become an ambassador of good and love. I'd love to be wrong, but we are talking football, not Eagle Scouts.

 

Hold: the Bills OL, specifically O'Cyrus. I am not going to weigh an opinion on anything tonight unless he absolutely destroys the DL.

 

Edit:

Make your own picks, it's fun.

 

Was listening yesterday think it was on the CBS pregame show and they were commenting how Hamlin is the prohibitive favorite for comeback player of the year.   Just read an article on ESPN stating likely Hamlin won't be active tonight.  Barring injuries, that could be a theme throughout the year. So potentially we could have the prohibitive favorite for comeback player of the year hardly ever plays all season.  That could be interesting to see how that plays out then.

Last year (and in SF) Salehs D played sides the majority of the time.  The matchups will be our choice for the most part iirc.  If we want Diggs vs Reed (and likely help) put him on the right side.  If we want Diggs vs sauce, line Diggs up on the left.

What are you really selling, a 4th or fifth string safety who mainly plays special teams?  I mean, yeah he is no Poyer or Hyde and would only play in a pinch like what happened last season.

i am selling that he is going to be or should be a factor in our defense in the next few weeeks.

Buy: Milano, he will be key against the run and pass tonight, needs to be huge and I expect he will be.

 

Sell: Harty, hope I’m wrong, I see Mckitrick all over again

 

Hold: Kincaid, has some learning to do, hope he can produce early (really hopeful for may fantasy team as he was supposed to be my back up/possible flex and then Kelce went down for week 1).

The way I look at that, I don't think that is for sale, I expect next to zero snaps from him on defense unless there are multiple injuries or maybe at the end of a blowout or something.

Buy: Josh Allen. The Bills need the best version of Allen to get to the SB/win it. Anything less likely doesn't get it done. 

 

Sell: Every MLB on the roster. None of them are starter material. It's a glaring weakness of the team. 

 

Hold:  Elam. Guy shows glimpse of how good he can be. I think the issue is two fold . He thinks too much and might lack some  football IQ. More specifically, he is not a great fit under the Bills scheme. He's not playing freely or natural. 

 

Hold: Rousseau. Shows a lot of promises but consistently isn't there yet which is understandable.

Fair. 100% fair

 

If I need to sell without regard to him and just want to look at tonight...

Morse. I think he will struggle tonight against a physical strong DL.

Buy: James Cook. We can run on the Jets if we try. They don't give you a lot of space to work with but Cook's skill set will help him maximize that space.

 

Sell: Gabe Davis. After his preseason performance I am convinced that he is the exact same high variance player we got last year. I don't expect us to be able to run our offense through him with any kind of consistency. Plus I expect Gardner to be manned up on him 1v1 a bunch tonight and obviously I expect Gardner to win that matchup.

 

Hold: Dalton Kincaid. I don't expect him to have a huge game in his first ever NFL action but we'll see the potential and I think he will at least contribute. I'll predict two 3rd down catches past the sticks.

Buy: Kincaid (busts out in first game); and Floyd (if the D gets pressure, it will be because he has a great game diverting attention away from others on the DL)

 

Sell:  J. Cook.  Running into that DL won't be great for him, and the offense may use a lot of short passes rather than a running game to move the ball (Kincaid, and some of the new WRs.) 

 

Hold:  Groot.  Can he generate pressure without Miller?  Will a very good, but not HOF player like Floyd be enough to help him out.

Buy: Diggs…hes about to have his best season

 

Sell: Dorsey- Vanilla play calling the last 3 weeks of the season. Terrible o-lone play in the playoffs. His plays take too long to develop. Burrow/Mahones are getting the ball out quick. Bengals/Chiefs have veteran play callers. Dorsey has been calling plays for a year. Not enough experience 

 

Hold: Kincaid- hes a rookie from Utah. There will be growing pains but he will turn into something special.

Buy --  Kincaid.   Have the Bills ever had a ORoY?  Don't think they have so Kincaid will be the first.  Hoping his selection and success gets our draft scouts finding more gems for our offense.  Starting with ol

protectors and getting in a good mix of young receivers as our current guys get close to hanging up their cleats.

 

Sell -- Spencer Brown.  Cannot have Josh getting hammered by guy he is responsible for.  

 

Hold  --  Groot Easier to spell than his French surname.   Think he will come into his own.
