NEWS: Marshawn Lynch resting ankle injury; Christine Michael to see lots of preseason touches?

    Buy now (Michael), as his likely extended preseason play will have him looking bigger and better to all). I know what some might say, "he is already hard to get." No one said every owner in every league would give him up, as they are likely waiting for his rise as well. But, given Michael owners might have bought into the retirement talk, or are disappointed with Lynch not holding out, you might be able to get creative and package Michael into a bigger deal.

    Ex: The Michael owner in your league won't trade him one for one. Why would they? They know he has huge upside. However, if you go after another player, let's say you want to take on Julio Jones for your Calvin Johnson... you might steal a Michael away in that deal, even if you have to surrender a draft pick or another player. 

    I own Michael in a league where I will almost not even consider any one for one offers. No way. However, a topic came up where I could upgrade a low-end WR1 into Calvin Johnson if I threw in Michael, and I started to listen all of the sudden. I didn't do the trade :), but my point is, don't assume he can't be had just because you can't get him from someone in one league.
