peteteacher2001 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Tell me why not to trade him right now? AM I jumping the gun? A decent performace this past week gives me a win. Should I hold out and weather this storm? THanks. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Don't sell low. He does look pathetic though - like he shouldn't even be started. They are missing JJ in the worst of ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Edwards and The Browns will break out soon. I would be looking to buy low instead of selling low. Pitt in Pitt is never easy . The drops are just something you will have to deal with. Fantasy owners may forget the drops to a point when he starts sprinking in those long TDs that I promise you are coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I traded Holt, chester taylor, and a D for Braylon and a D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I really hope so. I am 0-2 in my big $$ league and I need him and Addai to show up soon. If I lose this week I am pretty much out of it (1st 3 games are divisional games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteteacher2001 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 I hear ya'll. Just real hard to lose a game by 6 and Braylon only gets me 3. I have an owner trying to get him and give me Cutler, which as a Marshall owner, I just may do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a worst scenario for you: I was down by 7 but fanball adjusted the Titans DST so then I was tied. I woke up today and found out another adjustment was made to my opponent giving him 1 points. I lost by 1. Edwards got me 3, Cotchery got me 2 and Adam Vinitierri missed a field goal and the Colts were forced to go for 2 on a possession.

i_am_the_swammi Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 He's at the Ravens this week, so another sub-apr performance may be in the making. I plan on offering a good kicker for him this time next week. Seriously, I am going to wait just one more week to get him at what might be a bargain-basement price from a frustrated owner.

myhousekey Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Pitt in Pitt is never easy . Except the game was in Cleveland this past week... Unless you can get a really good offer for him I don't see anything you can do but wait it out for now. The guy had the 2nd highest TD total for a WR last year and 3rd highest TD total overall of a non-QB. There's no where to go but up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTed46 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 My Bad. Pitt in general is tough on D regardless Also, factor in the weather. They weren't taking alot of shots deep and passing was limited (trying to find an exuse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I wasn't that high on the passing game coming into the season and am still not. If I had any faith at all in them I would've kept Edwards in 32Homers instead of Lewis. Unfortunately if you try to move him, you'll probably not get what you think you should. I'd take the Cutler deal if my QBs were wanting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdickens Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The weather was terrible, but the Steelers still managed to move the ball a bit through the air(Holmes). I dont know what is going on with these guys right now. You can say he faced some tough Def the first two weeks, but any Browns fan can tell you the schedule is full of games that will give Anderson fits. Edwards was targeted in week one and is still option number one, but I just dont see it with that offense this year. Anderson is going to kill us because he cant operate the short range passing game. Romeo needs to be fired, it would be better for everyone if he just walked away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFreak Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 ANY WR has up and down weeks so don't push the panic button just yet. Ride it out and Braylon will reward owners soon enough. Unless you can get a favorable trade he's a keeper in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Stanky Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 It's just 2 WEEKS! He's too talented to struggle like this all year people. He won't put up the kind of stats he did last year, but I think he will be a top 10 WR by season end. You can't trade him when his value is at an all time low.

DMD Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Here is your problem. CLE still has all the same elements as last year EXCEPT instead of one of the easiest schedules they have one of the hardest ones. CLE is the only NFL team that had two home games to start the year - against DAL and PIT. Now they are @BAL and @CIN (their only easy game). Then NYG, @WAS, @JAC, BAL, DEN, @BUF... pretty brutal.

I think strength of schedule is very overrated when looking at passing offenses. If anything Braylon will have more catches and less TD's than last year. He and Addai are the best buy low candidates of the young season, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteteacher2001 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thanks Huddle Bretheren! I'm gonna take my chances on Braylon for a bit. Unless, I can get Cutler from the owner who has expressed interest in trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, I have been watching the Browns game as an Edwards owner, and Anderson isn't even looking at Edwards on most plays. To me, it appears he is instantly looking to the other side of the field based on coverage being rolled to Edwards, not even giving him a chance. Even Edwards was heard screaming that he was open based on the TV coverage. The problem is Anderson, not Edwards. He is giving up on half the field on each passing play. I expect a QB change to Quinn soon and things should improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning Runt Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have a worst scenario for you: I was down by 7 but fanball adjusted the Titans DST so then I was tied. I woke up today and found out another adjustment was made to my opponent giving him 1 points. I lost by 1. Edwards got me 3, Cotchery got me 2 and Adam Vinitierri missed a field goal and the Colts were forced to go for 2 on a possession. Fantasy is so stressful What was the 1pt adjustment? Same thing happened to me and I too lost by a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
