NFL Nation reporters choose a player from each team and assess whether theyre buying or selling his fantasy value headed into Week 5.?NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC West AFC East | AFC North| AFC South | AFC WestNFC EASTDallas CowboysBuy: Running back?Ezekiel ElliottElliott leads the NFL in rushing after four games, which many people thought could be the case when the Cowboys drafted him No. 4 overall. But after a slow start in the first two games, Elliott has 278 yards in his past two games. He has found the balance required for this system. Cincinnati is one of two teams not to allow a rushing touchdown this season and is giving up just 3.8 yards per carry, but the Cowboys confidence is high -- and so is Elliotts confidence. -- Todd ArcherNew York GiantsSell: Quarterback Eli ManningHe piles up yards, but the Giants just dont get into the end zone enough to make Manning a weekly play. Manning threw for 261 yards against a good Vikings defense, but he didnt have a touchdown pass. Thats not going to do it. Manning now has four touchdown passes this season in four games, in part because the Giants remain one of the leagues worst red zone teams. -- Jordan RaananPhiladelphia EaglesSell: Tight end Brent CelekThe veteran had three catches for 61 yards in a big win over the Steelers in Week 3. Zach Ertz, however,?is expected back in the lineup against the Lions this week, after sitting out the past two games with a displaced rib. Ertz, not Celek,?is likely to get the bulk of the tight end targets moving forward for the Eagles. -- Tim McManus Jason Vargas Jersey . It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. Mookie Wilson Jersey . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. http://www.metssale.com/mets-wilson-ramos-jersey/ . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. Tug McGraw Jersey . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two. Keith Hernandez Mets Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. Hey, hey, its time for everybodys favorite topic! You know what Im talking about ...Pound! For! Pound!Full disclosure: I remember sitting at a bar with another MMA reporter in Temecula, California, a few years ago and asking him something to the effect of, What is it with people and pound-for-pound lists? Everybody has got one. None are really right or wrong. Theyre basically pointless.The two of us then proceeded to argue about our pound-for-pound lists for at least 30 minutes, which is ultimately whats great about these lists. Even though I do still think they are rather pointless, they can be a lot of fun to argue about.So, lets have some fun.Lets take a look at my current pound-for-pound list and try to predict how it will change over the next 12 months. And keep an eye out for the female version coming soon.Who will still make the list?Demetrious JohnsonCurrent rank: No. 1And I think hell still be ranked No. 1. That would be quite something, since, according to the archives, I had DJ ranked No. 1 at this time last year as well. So, were talking about the UFC flyweight champion holding down the No. 1 spot two years running.I believe in the greatness of Jon Jones as much as the next guy, but Johnson has been more dominant (and active) in what Id argue is a deeper division. Hes the closet thing this sport has to a perfect fighter, and he has been for a while.Jon JonesCurrent rank: No. 2Its still strange to consider the very real possibility we havent seen him at his best yet. Jones has admitted that prior to his arrest on a hit-and-run charge in April 2015, he never reached his full potential due to issues outside the cage. In the 18 months since, he has fought just once (against Ovince Saint Preux in April) and looked rusty.Im willing to bet on Jones in the next 12 months -- but even with his talent, thats probably somewhat of a risky bet. This sport is hard enough without the self-sabotage.Dominick Cruz and TJ DillashawCurrent ranks: Nos. 3 and 4 respectivelyI think I have Dillashaw ranked higher than most. Im not sure about that since, as previously mentioned, I dont spend much time (i.e. none) looking at other pound-for-pound lists. Im very comfortable with that, though.Dillashaw is one of the most well-rounded fighters in the game, and I never thought his controversial decision loss to Raphael Assuncao in 2013 was legit. He really only has one definitive loss in his career and that was in his fifth pro fight. And considering A) How high I rank Cruz and B) How close their bantamweight title bout was in January (which Cruz won by split decision) ... how can I rank Dillashaw much lower?Who wont?Josee AldoCurrent rank: No.dddddddddddd6Sometimes MMA requires a great deal of reading between the lines. Theres plenty of misdirection when it comes to what fighters say, what promoters say and what coaches are willing to divulge. In a lot of ways, this sport is one big mind game -- and that refers to trash talk between fighters as well as negotiations between athlete and promoter.But with Aldo, at least right now, Im kind of taking his comments about not wanting to fight at face value. Do I actually believe hell never fight again? No, I dont. But do I believe theres a legitimate chance he has lost a little fire for cage fighting? I am willing to believe that. Whether due to inactivity or lack of motivation when he does step into a cage, I think Aldo could drop on this list.Stipe MiocicCurrent rank: No. 8Its the curse of being a heavyweight. It is really hard to stay on the pound-for-pound list as a heavyweight because youre always one split-second away from unconsciousness. I love Miocics mental approach and I dont really expect him to lose. Thats why hes on my list to begin with, but hes always at a higher risk of losing, simply because of the division he competes in.Who could really go either way?Conor McGregorCurrent rank: No. 5What is a pound-for-pound list? To me, its trying your best to envision every fighter competing in the same weight class. So, by default, if McGregor wins UFC titles in multiple weight classes, that would be a big reason to rank him extremely high.In other words, if McGregor, who holds the featherweight title, defeats lightweight champion?Eddie Alvarez next month and holds two UFC championships ... and then goes on to defend one of them a couple times next year, hell be in the conversation for best fighter in the world. At the same time, we still really havent seen him against a well-prepared wrestler. That wrestler question still exists. Does he have a hole there? It remains to be seen.What Im trying to say is McGregor shooting up this list or falling off it completely are both feasible options to me. So, I really have no idea where hell be come October 2017.Which new fighters will crack this list?Khabib NurmagomedovIve been riding this train for a while now, injuries and all. Might as well see it through.Luke RockholdFour months ago, you could have made a case Rockhold was Top 5 during his middleweight title reign. One Michael Bisping left hook at UFC 199 has silenced that. I think we were probably right back then and Rockhold just had a bad night. ' ' '
