Trade Bait

As the fantasy landscape has unfolded, no doubt, there are many owners disappointed a player and pleasantly surprised by others. The wavier wire is starting to settle down by this time as well. Still looking for help for your pathetic team? Try these under valued players as targets to add to your team.

Steven Jackson
Surrounded by fantasy irrelevants, Jackson is having a unspectaclarly good season, averaging over 100 combined yards a game, but he has zero touchdowns. Normally, a star alone on a team is a formula for success. Jackson is going to score, but his value is low right now. Try making a pitch for him now and snag him if you can make a bargain. It will payoff in the end.

Ahmad Bradshaw
Brandon Jacobs is laying a fantasy egg, even with getting more touches than his more vigorous counterpart. Bradshaw is out performing Jacobs in a football and fantasy sense. Tom Coughlin would be ignorant not to recognize the better back and start tipping the scales towards Bradshaw's way. Take a chance and reap the rewards of stealing Bradshaw while you still can.

DeAngelo Williams
I am not a big fan of DeAngelo and still am not. I firmly believe his crazy year last year was a fluke. But he has been an absolute bust so far this year, and with Jonathon Stewart not pushing him at all, he figures to continue being the feature back in Carolina. If John Fox ever realizes his old formula of success is still there (run, run, run), Williams might have a solid 2nd half... but I still don't like him.

Greg Jennings
He has been a major disappointment to owners who invested a 2nd or 3rd round pick on him. But the potential is there, IF Aaron Rodgers starts to get time. Now, the Packers brought back veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher this week (to replace the turnstile of Barbre) and Chad Clifton should be back before too much longer. If the line stabilizes, Rodgers will have more time and finally connecting with Jennings when has been so wide open so often. Snap him up if you can.

Ted Ginn
Ginn has major speed and with Pennington at the controls, his ability to get deep was lost, since Chad can't over throw my grandmother! But with the young Chad Henne and his strong arm in the pocket, Ginn becomes viable again and he is DIRT cheap on the market right now.

Matt Hasselbeck
For those of you who doubt his ability this year, look at the Seattle wins and the loses this year. 'Nough said. If you need a strong starting QB (having banked on Jake Delhomme or Trent Edwards), make a bid and grab him if you can. Most owners are going to be skittish about his injuries, but I think he is back for the year, that rib thing was a fluke.

Ben Rothlisberger
Big Ben is still getting disrespected across fantasyland, but in actuality, he is a top 10 QB so far this year. He is consistently putting up strong numbers week after week as Pittsburgh continues to struggle running the ball (Rashard Mendenhall's recent success aside). By the way, he is second in fantasy scoring my league and I have him, but won't trade him!

Brandon Marshall
Do a deal for Marshall now and quick if you can. He is going to explode... I just feel it. As Denver continue to establish its identity and the timing and chemistry grows between the under-rated Kyle Orton and the mega-talented Marshall, his numbers are only going to keep climbing.

Knowshon Moreno
With Buckhalter on the shelf and the confidence in Denver mounting, Moreno is only going to get better. If he can hold onto the ball a bit better and continue to improve blitz pick ups, his value gets better and better. Plus, I like how he runs and what I have heard about his natural leadership abilities and how much the staff in Denver seems to like the rookie.

Dwayne Bowe
I really like Bowe if Matt Cassel makes better strides. Kansas City is going to be behind and often this season with their porous defense, so Tod Haley will turn the air attack loose. Bowe is a bargain right now.
