FA starts this week. Where do you see possible value?

FA starts this coming week, and I for one am thrilled. I consider this the end to the unofficial "offseason" in FF. Activity really starts to pick back up for most owners that aren't year round junkies like many of us.

We have another thread about bold FA predictions. This thread is a little different. There is a window to get great value on players that will expire when FA starts. Between now and Tuesday, who are some players that you feel present a great value by purchasing. You don't have to be sold that this player will flourish in a new situation. Just someone that you think you could buy today and flip again in a couple weeks and turn a tidy profit.

Tate
Sproles
Vick

I'll think some more but those are three that come to mind quickly.

Bubba Caldwell if he signs w Denver & Decker leaves.

Gerhart

Decker if he goes to Indy

Don't know this guy. Is Bubba Caldwell actually Andre Caldwell, or is Bubba actually his name?

It's Andre. He goes by bubba

I think Tate may be the anti-value player here, at least in some of my leagues. He's being valued as a true #1 already in most circles so he won't come cheap enough to turn a profit.

Sproles

DMC (risky, I know)

Decker (at the right price, I think you could sell incredibly high if he lands in Indy)

P. Thomas (he's someone I would like to buy low on and hold. He could be huge in a system that actually uses him fully)

T. Gerhart

Sidney Rice. He can be had for almost nothing. If he lands in a passing offense (NE?) he could be flipped for a nice profit.

He was actually dropped in a 12x25 league I'm in that can start 5 WRs. Of course I was at work when it happened, so somebody had scooped him up before I saw he was available. He's always hurt, but he was definitely worth a roster spot until we found out where he would land.

Britt and Nicks

Grrr, you had to bring up Britt didn't you? lol. I had forgot about him.

That does bring me to a question though. I've always been a big Britt hater, but he's so freaking cheap now that even I think he's worth a flier.

Would you trade CJ Anderson to the Ball owner for Britt?

^^ I would. C.J. is only of value to Ball owner. Britt has so much potential its sick. And he has been a good boy as of late. Youve joined the miller train, why not take the Britt train for a test ride.

Golden Tate
Ryan Mallet

I've been screaming Ryan Mallet to the Texans for a month now. The Bill O'Brien connection makes perfect sense. Now that Matt Cassel has re-signed in Min, it makes even more sense. I for one will be really hoping the Texans draft Clowney #1 and a QB run happens before they're on the clock in the 2nd rd. If the the big QB's are all taken I can see a trade being worked out. Mallet would just have to be out Keenum, which shouldn't be hard. All speculation at this point, but there's a chance you can get a starting QB here for nothing or next to it.

This has actually been rumoured and I think it's all talk. IMO mallet is not worth the 33rd pick. Horrible idea imo

Take this fwiw

The Houston Chronicle reports the Texans "won't be trading for" QB Ryan Mallett.
Beat writer John McClain is on top of everything Texans. While the dots connect between Mallett and Houston coach Bill O'Brien, Mallett still means a lot to the Patriots as Tom Brady's backup. The Texans have numerous holes to fill and aren't going to deal significant draft pick compensation for a quarterback who has attempted just four career passes and remains an unknown throughout the league. McClain thinks Cleveland's Brian Hoyer would make a better trade target. Like Mallett, Hoyer has history with O'Brien from their New England days. Mar 9 - 11:19 AM
Source: John McClain on Twitter

It's just speculation on my side, nothing more. I know NE wants to move him. I don't buy for a second that Mallet means a lot to NE as Brady's backup. They were trying to deal him last offseason. If NE can get a 2nd rd pick this yr they're moving him. They'll draft another QB to groom as Brady's heir. The real question is whether or not the Texans would value him with that high of a draft pick, which I could see them not. I doubt NE would accept a 3rd rd pick

Why don't the Texans trade for Cousins? If not draft Johnny football to fill the stands? But Britt please sign n perform someplace. ...

Just trade Tim Wright for Gerhart in one league. I got Wright off of the WW and I don't believe in his value post-Schiano, so it's worth a gamble. Hopefully Gerhart lands in a favorable situation and at least a 50/50 RBBC.

I heard a rumor of Texans trading Schaub for McGloin straight up

This just seems like nonsense to me on the surface. I'm not sure what Schaub's contract is though. If it's substantial. then I don't mind the trade just to dump his salary on OAK.

It's the season of rumors. We're getting close. Tuesday coming soon!

Howdy, Stranger!
