Market watch

Fantasy football is much like a stock market in that a good owner needs to know when to buy and when to sell players. Below are some recommendations of those who are overrated and underrated after the first week.

Buy Low:

Cedric Benson – Benson looked horrendous against a stingy Chargers defense Sunday, but there will be plenty of running room in Week 2 against Kansas City so look for him to make it up to you next week.

Bobby Wade – The Vikings best receiver (sorry Troy Williamson fans) did nothing against the Falcons in Week 1, but I attribute that to rust from injury and a match up with a tough Falcons defense which features D’Angelo Hall. Wade won’t be a superstar this season, but considering you can get him for next to nothing, he’s a bargain.

Sell High:

Plaxico Burress – Burress looked amazing Sunday night, but that was likely his best output of 2007. With Eli Manning likely out for a month and Brandon Jacobs hurt, Burress will suffer.

Seattle defense – The Seahawks looked great against Tampa Bay, but the Buccaneers’ offense, which isn’t great to begin with, was without Jeff Garcia and Cadillac Williams for some of that time. Cash in before Seattle’s stock plummets.
