Buy,Sell,Trade what I have learned so far in the 2014 Fantasy Football year

What have I learned so far in this 2014 fantasy football season..

1. Nick Foles -Man heres a guy I was so high on and thus far this season he has been fools gold. One of the worst 1st half QB in fantasy football and has posted only 1 20+ pts game out of the last 4 weeks and the DUD in week 4 with only 3..no really 3! fantasy pts. and next week vs STL who has one of the best front 4 in the league.For some reason his trade value is still sky high  and with tough matchups in week 5 vs STL , 8vs AZ  I think its time to see what the open market might bring for him.

2.Leveon Bell -Once he started to drop to round 3 in most leagues,I tweeted (@Dennis77Farrell) jump on him in the 2nd round..Now he looks like he could end the year as a top 3 RB this season and also has 19 Rec on the season.The price might be to high to trade for him but I would not think twice in trading McCoy or Charles for him if you can find a sucker.

3. CJ Spiller- Here is a RB with no touchdowns and no respect among but he is a great buy low player, healthy and getting 10+touches a game  and could easily heat up and net you 15-17 touches a game.

4. Matt Asiata- Sell high now!!! he value will never be any higher then it is now (Week 4-20/78/3) Sure he will have a good game vs GB in week 5 but after that he plays Det who has the 6th best Def vs RB Buf who has the 7th best Def vs RB and in week 9 Washington who as of right now the 2nd best D vs RB.  Now you wont get a stud in return but dont worry use him as a peace to push a trade for a stud.

5.Eddie Lacy- Buy now, the whole Packers Offense has looked sluggish but in week 4 the passing game came alive so its only a matter of time before Lacy hit his stride and becomes a fantasy stud.

6. Jeremy Hill- If you act now you can catch someone in your league sleeping and steal Hill from them. Being drafted as a backup he has worked his way into your Flex spot with 19 pts in the last two games his roll in the Offense will only keep growing. Unlike Asiata Hill is the real deal.

Fantasy football news- Seahawks Def #DGS971 Josh Gordon and AP

Ad this fantasy football season limps into full affect I wanted to take a break from tv, podcast , mock drafts and ADP talk to take a look at some news and a few silly things I have seen and heard.
Over the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction weekend I had a chance to talk fantasy football with a former Green Bay Packers RB who not only told me but pulled out his phone to show me that he took the Seahawks Def in the 1st round of his draft.
Now as you could imagine I wanted to and tried to talk him out of it quite passionately , I’m sure it was hard to take me seriously as I was laughing hoping to see a candid camera host pop out some place.
Yes I think it is silly to take a Def in the 8th round (Seahawks ADP right now) in 12 team leagues but after some poking around I might have just changed my mind a bit…Just a BIT!!
Look last year the Hawks Def scored 195 fantasy points… That one more then both Dez Bryant and Adrian Peterson .Eddie Lacy and Brandon Marshall(198) only scored 3 more fantasy points then the Seattle def and both guys are going in the 1st round .Aj Green managed to out score the Def by 8 points while other guys like Demarco Murray(189) and Alshon Jeffery(186) finished behind the Seattle Seahawalks in points. Look I’m not saying go crazy here but maybe the 7th or 8th round is not so crazy for a player(Seahawks) that can give you top 30 overall points in and around picks 90-96 overall.

St.Louis Rams have listed Kenny Britt as the teams starting WR on its depth charts. Here’s a guys fantasy owners every year over drafted him looking for that big season out of him, Off the field issues and injures has derailed any hope of that. With a ADP of 13.2 right now Britt has become a true sleeper WR this season with zero risk and what we hope is a ton of upside.
Same will go for Josh Gordon who finished 2013 as the number one WR in fantasy points who is also facing a one-year suspension with a current ADP of round 12 in 12 team league and no word for 1-3 week on if it gets lifted or reduced. Here’s the deal I truly think the NFL will wait until last second to announce anything leaving fantasy owners in limbo. If my draft was today I would absolutely take the risk in round 12 on Gordon , by round 12 your filling in your flex if not bench guys your hoping to hit on and if he is out for the season WR is so deep take a guy like Nick,Hopkins and even rookie WR Mike Evans in round 10 .
If Gordon does play I’m guessing he would still sit for 6-8 games and being that deep into the season and getting a guy like him for a playoff push would be like a free gift or a crazy late season trade that would put you over the hump.
James Jones now with Oakland who in the last two years with Green Bay had 24TD is listed as the 2 team WR .
Adrian Peterson will not see any action this pre season.. Don’t be shocked at this news Peterson has not had a per season snap since 2011.

Here’s some news as to what I’ll be doing this fantasy football season
As always you can catch the Tv show and fantasy shorts on FantasySportsNetwork.com and Cable vision channel 147 in NYC Thursday and Fridays at 1pm est everywhere else check with you local cable provider .

Now here’s one of the coolest things I’ll be doing this season …
When I lived in St.Louis I had a favorite radio show The Dave Glover Show hashtag #DGS971 now this show helped get me though some bad times.. A job I hated a divorce . It was my my best friend mon-fri for a few hours a day. Now keep in mind going into the media business was not even on my radar, from show one I never missed it. Now I live in Michigan and podcast all 4 hours of the show and over the last 2 years they (Dave and Max) have let me become part of this one thing that has been part of my life . I take more pride in the 5 min hits I do for them then any of my other projects.
So this fantasy football season I will be giving the DGS fans fantasy football advice via the DGS blog I’ll give you sit/starts and matchup advice while answering email questions!!

Hey Guys
Here is the latest 2014 Fantasy Football RunningBack ADP update as of July 22nd.
A few name you won’t be seeing right now in the first nine rounds of mock drafts that I am keeping a eye out on who’s fantasy fortunes could turn around with a few fumbles or even a injury like NYG David Wilson fresh with the news that he has been cleared to practice. Wilson looks to be heading into camp as the 3rd RB but he is a Peyton Hillis injury away from having value and with a ADP of round 12 pick 2 I would jump all over that.Few other names just to keep a eye on with a low LOW ADP currently behind a Rab with a realistic chance to miss time -Donald Brown SD 14.4 , Ahmad Bradshaw IND 13.10, Andre Brown HOU 13.6 one word Foster!!

Fantasy Football ADP draft day steals

So it that time of year where everyone is looking for draft day steals.

We all enjoyed late round production in 2013 from guys like Alshon Jeffery and Knowshon. This year I see a lot of names who are not getting any love in mock drafts some rookies and some are fantasy football vet who once have helped or even lead your team to a championship .

Here is a list of guys with low ADP (Avg Draft Position) that could become draft day steals. (Round they are being drafted. pick in said round)

DeAngelo Williams (9.12)/Jonathan Stewart(12.7)

I’m leaning toward Stewart more here all signs point to Stewart being healthy and with coach speak saying they would be happy if the Wideouts would  get 12-20 rec per-game. That tells me the Offense might be more run heavy.question marks around Cam Newton and his band of misfit Wide Revisers maybe just maybe D-Will and J-Stew might payoff.

Miles Austin (14.5)

Without Josh Gordon and if Austin can stay on the field I think he has the chance to see the Endzone at least 7-8 times. Before this I had him at 6 TD.as far as Rec before the Gordon debacle I projected Miles Austin at 65 Rec now I’ll give him a bump to 72-75.

Odell Beckham Jr (13.10)

Look OBJ has a real opportunity to be the 3rd WR on this team and truly think he could sidestep Rueben Randel as the number two guy on this team. my projection- 66Rec 760Yd 7TD

Tre Mason (11.7)

Realistically Mason is a great handcuff this season but what if we tried to put the clues together..One of the best RB in college football last season,The Rams already set with Zac Stacy drafts Mason with a 3rd round pick. I would not be shocked if Mason has 120 ATT 440 Yd and 4TD.

Steve Smith (12.10)

Last season Smith netted 97 fantasy points in standard leagues this season I think you see a bit of a bump upward in his stats I’m going to guess about 60-67Rec and 7TD,Add that to the fact he is being drafted late in the 12th and early in the 13th round Steve Smith is a draft day steal.

Heres a list of other names you keep a eye out on..

DeAndre Hopkins (11.3)

Carlos Hyde (11.8)

Jerrett Boykin (11.11)

David Wilson (12.4)

Markus Wheaton (13.4)

Nick Castellanos 14% OF
Season- .270 R-16 HR-5 RBI-21
Nick is tied with Abreu for hits by a rookie while doing it in 10 less AB.
Nick also has a 6 game hit streak with 12 hits over that time.

Jon Singleton 62% 1B
This Astros tops prospect has only been up in the majors for a cup of coffee but he is slowly heating up .
In his six games so far he has 2 home runs 6RBI and 1 SB.

Corey Dickerson 24% OF
Season-.324 18-R HR-7 RBI-18
The kids only hitting .221 vs lefties right now but with hits in 7 of his last 8 games and 2HR and 5RBI . He might make for a great add to your bench.

Brock Holt 9% 3B
Season- .339 R-16 RBI-13
Slowly working his way to having OF eligibility for the Red Sox Holt has been unstoppable as of late with 19 hits in his last 12 games , that includes
8 game hit streak.

Cody Allen 75% RP
Slim chance he is around in your league but if he is don’t sleep on his 6 SV

Collin McHugh 54% SP
After this rush on him earlier this season Collin has been nothing but money in his last 4 starts. 23IP 5ER and 26K . That gives him 60K and a Whip of 1.03 on the year.

Henderson Alvarez 26% SP
Alvarez has Only given up one run over his last 26.1 IP and 15K

Fantasy Baseball updates

Ok guys this week I added a few guys you might want to trade as well.
Nelson Cruz 100%
Season- .314 20HR 52RBI 39Runs
I had Nelson going .270ish and 25HR
Whelp he had blown that out of the water but the downside is the Hammy issues over the last few years. I think we see a DL stint with him maybe two .

George Springer 100%
Season- .259 24Runs 10HR 29RBI
After that 7HR in 7 games everyone went nuts and picked him up .
If you own him you might want to move Springer . His value will never be higher then it is now if your lucky he will end the year with 17-20HR 60RBI and .263

Ben Revere 65%
Season .289 15SB 24-runs
65% kinda high for this list but if he is on your waver wire you must add him .
Right now Revere is killing it with a 8game hit streak with 3-SB and 13hits.

Josh Willingham 21%
Coming off of the DL on 5/25 Josh has been on fire in that 8 game span going .310(8hits) 8 RBI and 7Runs with 3HR

Roenis Elias 4% pitcher season- 65K 3.53ERA WHip 1.23
The ER won’t help you, Elias has been up and down all year. One day going 6IP 5ER and 5K the next start going 9IP 0ER and 8K. Good luck

Nathan Evoaldi 52%
His ownership has been a roller coaster going 61K 3.24ERA and 1.17 whip on the season . The bright side is over the last 3 games he has 20IP 5ER and 11K
