From David Givens, Troy Brown, and Deion Branch in New England, to Rhema McKnight, Jeff Samardzija, and Maurice Stovall at Notre Dame, Weis is the ultimate maximizer of wideout ability. Dwayne Bowe (who plays the freelancing, target-happy split end position Golden Tate won the Biletnikoff Award at in 2009), I expect to reach his potential in Weis' receiver-friendly system.

Buy Lance Moore Brandon Tate Larry Fitzgerald Arian Foster Jabar Gaffney Devin Hester Hines Ward Donald Driver Derrick Mason Carson Palmer Matt Moore Hakeem Nicks Mario Manningham Malcolm Kelly Donald Brown Matt Jones Harry Douglas Matt Ryan
Sell Devin Aromashodu Ben Tate Joe Flacco Anquan Boldin Matt Leinart Alex Smith Ryan Grant Thomas Jones Mike Wallace
Some of these names surprise. Don't see Hester and Palmer as buys, or Flacco and Wallace as sells. But, I'm not here to provide my view, just give others. Solid reasoning about Ryan Grant.

I like his thinking on Ward / Driver /Mason. I always take these guys as my secondary WRs on the cheap over the hyped rookie wrs taken around the same time. We had a good debate on this last year if I recall here in the cafe...
Agree on Aroma, I think he could really surprise this year. Cutler was big on him last year, and down the stretch Aroma had a couple of great games. If we could only realize that Hester will never be a #1, and put him back on special teams, and a role player at WR, Aroma could break out, Knox could stretch the field, and Bennett and Iglesias could develop even further. I picked up Aroma in two dynasties last year for cheap, and think he is a great sleeper. For dynasties, if he's out there still, pick him up. If you are in a redraft, maybe grab him late. He's a good WR4 with potential to really explode. ADP at Fantasy Football Calculator where I do a lot of mocking is 7.08, but he's lasted until the 9th, and gone as early as the 5th. If you see him late, scoop him up.
I also like Garrard. Much better as a QB2, but he was the #14 QB in my leagues last year. If you call the top 10-12 QB1s, he was only 18 pts out of the top 10, which is about 1 pt a week. He was ahead of Palmer, Ryan, Flacco, Cassel, Campbell, Orton, etc. If they can get their WRs figured out, he could really move up into the top 10.
Another WR to keep an eye on is the aging and criminal Donte Stallworth. I know, I know, I dropped him in many leagues, but he's been looking good in camp, and is going really late. At FFC he is going UNDRAFTED. With Flacco improving, he could get some action, and is worth a late flier IMO.

Who hasn't used that argument before? The thing is, it's one of a bunch of possible arguments, and some ppl use only that one argument. It gets old if used too much, but if used strategically, you can get an elite QB for a swap in elite WRs.

I just don't think it'll EVER be Hester, but I hear he's studying with Isaac Bruce. I think Aroma or even Knox. But right now I keep hearing it's Hester and Knox as the starters. It should be Aroma soon though, imo.

Does that make Aroma a cheaper buy from owners who read that news that Hester and Knox are the starters?
