Gates might sit out an extended period of time. If your fantasy team is off to a hot start, that's more the reason to consider trading for Gates. An extended absence could give him time to heal, allowing him to post big fantasy stats when he returns.
You might have already missed your window of opportunity here. After Blount's horrible Week 1, some owners were in full-fledged panic mode. It's still possible that some Blount owners are nervous and might be looking to sell.
The Vikings still haven't quite figured out how to use Harvin. That's good news for you. He's still playing far below his potential, and most fantasy owners want to avoid all Vikings NOT named Adrian Peterson. Harvin is definitely a guy to trade to trade for in PPR leagues, especially if they award points for return yardage. Harvin still has WR2 upside in PPR leagues, but he's probably just a flex option in standard leagues. If Matt Schaub 's current owner remembers his slow start from last season, you really might be able to steal Schaub.
Why are his numbers so low? Because the Texans haven't needed Schaub to throw the ball in a close game. The Texans are getting out to a lead and then controlling the clock with their running game.
That won't last forever. Buy Schaub now before he puts up big numbers vs. There are plenty of teams out there who owned both Jamaal Charles and Austin. With Austin looking like he's out until Week 6, you might have a window here to prey on a desperate Austin owner. His numbers this season and last have come primarily with Kyle Orton under center, however.
With the recent news of Tim Tebow taking over as Denver's starting signal caller, Lloyd's fantasy value drops significantly. Orton isn't exactly an elite player, but he built a nice rapport with Lloyd and that shouldn't be ignored. You also have to wonder if the Denver offense will be as pass happy with the younger, mistake-prone Tebow running things.
I would certainly expect more production out of the running game and more passes to backs and tight ends with Tebow at quarterback. Because of that, you might be better off trading Lloyd to somebody who doesn't see the writing on the wall. Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall broke out in a big way last season by running for over 1, yards and 13 touchdowns while leading the league in touches including playoffs.
Due to that production, Mendenhall was expected to be a workhorse this season, but a combination of ineffectiveness and injury has prevented that. Mendenhall has totaled just rushing yards on the year while averaging three yards per carry. He also has just two touchdowns to go along with that.
Isaac Redman started in Mendenhall's place this week, as Mendenhall was dealing with a hamstring injury and performed admirably. Due to Redman's solid play and the uncertainty of hamstring injuries, Mendenhall's value could take a huge hit moving forward. The Steelers also feature a very pass-heavy attack against the Tennessee Titans last week, as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for five touchdowns.
Some might consider that to be an aberration, but the fact of the matter is that the Steelers have evolved into a pass-first team. There are far too many negative variables to trust Mendenhall moving forward.
When he plays, San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is far and away the most productive fantasy player at his position. Richard Savill R. Dan Larocca D. Nick Zylak N. Seth Miller S. Jacob W.
