144 – Buy, Sell, Take the Flyer – NFC East
2021 Buy, Sell, Take the Flyer – NFC East
Hello Heat Seekers welcome to episode 144 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast, I am your host I am Rob Sullivan. The Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast is a proud member of the RotoHeat Family of podcasts.
In these 8 articles, I utilized ADP to identify a players I am buying, a player I am selling, and I selected a flyer off each team. Buying and selling have nothing to do with my opinion of the player and everything to do with my perceived value of the player vs. ADP. As for the flyer, these are gut feels on players deeper down in ADP that you are likely selecting in the late rounds of start-up drafts or perhaps in some cases, guys you will find on your league’s waiver wires.
We continue the 2021 Buy Sell Take the Flyer Series – with the AFC East.

Player I Am Buying
Tony Pollard – Overall ADP 119 RB47
Making the decision to buy Tony Pollard should not be taken as my dislike for Ezekiel Elliott, because the complete opposite is true. For the longest time this offseason, Zeke has been undervalued, as of now at RB6 his value is where it should be. Pollard in my opinion will see a larger percentage of snaps and touches this season.
2021 will be the year of the backup running back, due to the 17th game. Its not that the backups will take over, its the fact they will be used more. Tony Pollard in 2020 saw an uptick in touches as Elliott appeared to have given up on 2020. Pollard is PFF’s fifth-highest-graded running back over the past two years, he tied with Nick Chubb for the highest rate of missed tackles forced per rush, and tied with Derrick Henry for the most yards after contact per rush. Now imagine him with an increased workload.
Player I Am Selling
Amari Cooper – Overall ADP 42 WR16
Amari Cooper found himself in the exact same category for me entering 2020. After 5 weeks of play I looked like a complete fool. Cooper was WR8 thru the first five weeks and only a season ending injury to QB Dak Prescott saved me.
This season, Cooper is more appropriately priced, making this sell a little more difficult. CeeDee Lamb makes it a little bit easier. I see Lamb taking the WR1 title in Dallas by mid season. Cooper had off season ankle surgery, missed OTAs as a result allowing Lamb to be used all over the field vs. the slot where he primarily was in 2020. Cooper still has a lot of tread on his tires and I do see him as a top-24 WR, I just see him closer to 20 than to 16 so I will go ahead and sell Amari once again.
Take the Flyer
Blake Jarwin – Overall ADP 175 TE21
Having a share of the Dallas Cowboys offense on your fantasy roster in 2021 is highly recommended. This offense should be a high scoring large volume passing offense. The team is full of weapons and the defense is still one of the weaker ones despite some upgrades thru the draft.
I was on board the Blake Jarwin hype train last season and I had him ranked inside my top-12 TE. That hype train derailed in week one versus the Los Angeles Rams when Jarwin tore his ACL and was lost for the season. You don’t have to draft Jarwin in most Fantasy leagues, but he should emerge as a key waiver-wire addition if things go right. And it won’t be a surprise if Jarwin becomes a weekly starting option in all leagues. Beat the waiver wire and take the flyer.
