Trade Bait 2

Yesterday I was talking about the undervalued players in the fantasy football landscape that might make some sense in making a play for. Today, let's talk about the over-valued... the guys you should try to dump if you can make a deal.

Ben Rothlisberger
Big Ben has been lights out, and yes, I know I listed him in my buy cheap list just yesterday. But consider this other side of the coin. If Mendenhall starts to run the ball with that old Steeler's authority, then Rothlisberger's numbers are only going to drop. If you can convince someone of his value, it might be time to package him up and sell him for a premium WR or RB with a known pedigree

Brett Favre
Favre has grabbed the limelight with his heriocs and strong performance in the Monday night game against Green Bay might have convinced some he is worth more than he is. Actually, he is a top 10 fantasy QB as it stands right now, so if you have him and can leverage him, now is the time.

Ronnie Brown
I have Brown on my own team and would have a hard time trading him right now, but consider this. Last year Brown made a fast start to the season, very similar to 2009, but faded badly in the second half. He is currently #2 in my league among backs. Just think what you could get for him.

Steve Smith
Yes, THAT Steve Smith. He is one of the top WRs in the league so far this year, but can he keep this roll going? A year ago, he was a struggling #3 or #4 wide out, and suddenly, this year, he is the best WR in the league? If you can sell him, I would, depending on value.

Nate Burleson
See Steve Smith above. Burleson has been in the league for long enough to complete underwhelme Fantasydom. Suddenly he is a top WR just because Matt Hasselbeck is healthy? I call it a sham. If someone is willing to trade good value for him, why not?

Donald Driver
No one is under the pretense that Double D is the next coming of Jerry Rice. But he is by far Aaron Rodger's favorite target so far this year. If you could trade him for a tier 2 RB, now is the time. There is just too much talent in Greg Jennings and JerMichael Finley for Driver to keep up solid, week to week numbers.

Kellen Winslow
SHAM! The Soldier will not keep up the numbers. He will either get hurt or alienate his teammates or his coaches, or some other cancerous behavior. He is sellable right now.
