The Fantasy Kickoff - Fantasy Football Tips

Week 8: Sell High Candidates

by Kori Ellis on October 25th, 2007

Tony Romo - Dallas Cowboys

QB Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys - Romo has been a very good fantasy quarterback this season. He’s no doubt top five at position. That said, it may be time to start to look at trading him. If you look at his numbers, he has had three average weeks in a row. Against the Vikings in Week 7, he didn’t have the fantasy production many expected against Minnesota’s weak pass defense. If you can trade Romo to an owner who hasn’t realized that Romo has cooled off, you could get more in return than he is actually worth.

RB Joseph Addai - This is a risky sell high because Addai has been very good and should continue to be a top running back in fantasy football. However, this past week has to worry Addai owners. For the first time this season, Addai was in an obvious running back by committee with his backup Kenton Keith. If Keith keep stealing carries away from Addai, that’ll drastically lower Addai’s value. By trading him now, you may be able to find an owner who isn’t aware of Addai’s current situation.

WR Steve Smith - Coming off his bye week, Smith last played in Week 6 and had 151 total yards and a touchdown. However, reports out of Carolina indicate that David Carr could be back in charge of the Panthers’ offense this week. If that’s the case, that’s actually bad news for Smith. Carr and Smith don’t seem to have much of a chemistry, which could end up rapidly lowering Smith’s value. By trading him now, you can get very good value from Smith without having to depend on Carr figuring out how to get him the football.
