Buy Low/Sell High for Fantasy Football (Week 6)

Welcome to our Week 6 Buy Low/Sell High, where we look to provide some fantasy football trade advice for owners with an itchy trigger finger.

With bye weeks in full swing and the midway point of the fantasy season only two weeks away, the studs and duds of 2015 have officially begun to emerge. However, whether or not those studs and duds finish that way is still up in the air. Last year it was Odell Beckham and Jeremy Hill, two rookies who were still somewhat on the waiver wire at this time last season. Who is it this year?

Those who guess right could find themselves playing deep into December. That said, here are a few players worth buying this coming week, and a few worth selling.

 

Week 6 Fantasy Football Buys

Randall Cobb (WR, GB)

The Packers offense has scored only four touchdowns in the last two games, and Randall Cobb has scored exactly zero of them.

In fact, Cobb has only 67 yards over the past two games and has been hit-or-miss in general for fantasy owners. Part of that could be attributed to a Green Bay offense that has been quietly unproductive the last few weeks, while the rest lies on the emergence of James Jones and Cobb's shoulder ailment.

Regardless of Jones and that shoulder, this is a prolific offense led by one of the games best QB's, and Cobb is among the best play-makers on the team. He's got a WR2 floor with a WR1 ceiling. If you can get him at a WR2 or WR3 price, go for it.

Todd Gurley (RB, STL)

It's not very often a running back goes from recovering from a nasty knee injury to a bell-cow back in just a year, but Gurley has done just that.

Another high volume, highly productive day on Sunday may make it difficult to buy on Gurley, but his early season injury makes him an interesting prospect. Those who drafted him surely expected a lengthy absence, and likely built depth at the RB situation in case things went sour. That depth means they don't likely need Gurley, increasing the odds they'd be willing to move the (likely) Rookie of the Year.

Either way, a stellar defense and an offense with no other options makes Gurley a potential star, and volume doesn't look to be a concern.

Sam Bradford (QB, PHI)

Bradford has an unparalleled ability to look both amazing and awful in almost no time at all. Looks don't mean much in fantasy, though, not when you score like Bradford has.

A rejuvenated Eagles offense has lead Bradford to post nearly 50 fantasy points over the last two weeks while throwing for more than 600 yards. That's not half bad for a QB that looked baffled against a Dallas D not all that long ago. It's what we all expected from Chip Kelly's offense, and could be a sign of things to come. If you're lacking at the QB position, Bradford could come at a cheap price and offer solid stats.

 

Week 6 Fantasy Football Sells

Doug Martin (RB, TB)

Yes, Martin has nearly 60 fantasy points in the last two weeks. Yes, he's the No. 3 ranked running back on ESPN. And yes, you should sell him while he's hot.

Martin has looked like the muscle hamster of old the last couple of weeks, but match-ups against a Panthers D/ST without half its linebacking core and a Jaguars D/ST without it's best player will do that. At the very least Martin has solidified himself as a RB2 in most cases, but a rough Tampa Bay defense and the always hovering Charles Sims likely keeps him from RB1 prospects in the long term.

That said, if you can get RB1 value for him, and you likely can, it may not be a bad idea.

Travis Benjamin (WR, CLE)

About as quietly as a receiver can do so, Benjamin currently ranks No. 4 among wide-outs. That's not bad for a Cleveland Brown.

The Browns have actually boasted one of the most prolific offenses in the league the last few weeks, and Josh McCown seems like a real QB1. All of that success has certainly reflected itself in Benjamin's success, but it's always smart to be leery of a big play wide-out like Benjamin. Take away a couple of TD bombs from Johnny Manziel a couple of weeks back and Benjamin falls well out of the top-10 in terms of receivers.

He's got a WR3 floor with a WR2 ceiling, and he will have big games, but should be sold if it's at WR1 value.

David Johnson (RB, ARI)

Johnson has been on this list before, and as long as he keeps scoring touchdowns like he did on Sunday he's probably going to stay here.

If you merely glance at the output, Johnson's 12 fantasy points last week look pretty solid. If you look at the fact that he had only three carries and six yards on those carries, not so much anymore. Johnson vultured a couple of goal-line touchdowns against the Lions, but wasn't a part of the offense otherwise and played a clear third fiddle to Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington.

Touchdowns have greatly inflated David's value, and inflation is a wonderful thing for owners looking to sell. He's a RB3 who belongs as depth on the bench. If you can pull a RB2 or sweeten another deal with him, go for it.
