Fantasy Football Sleepers
 

Who do you think is a sleeper this year in fantasy land?

Brian Westbrook. Instead of sharing time he has the chance to show if he could be a full-time back.

I'll go with Josh McCown. The team should pass a lot, and once Boldin comes back, he will have some top notch talent at receiver.

Maybe Donte Hall, too. It looks like he's going to be starting at WR in addition to his return duties, and the Chiefs are committed to getting him the ball.

McCown is a good choice, but could go either way. Dennis Green loves to pass the ball, and he'll have three good receivers once Bolden returns, but he could also fall flat on his face.

My homer pick is Kyle Boller. Wait...hear me out...:p. He now has two receivers that can catch the ball in Kevin Johnson and Travis Taylor, plus the best TE in football in Todd Heap, plus Devard Darling who is supposedly tearing up training camp, plus Jamal Lewis, plus the best QB coach in football in Jim Fassell teaching him. Depending on what happens with Jamal and how he develops, he could put up a fair amount of offense.

I picked up Dante Hall (as a sleeper, at the end of the draft... but i would have gladly selected him as my first choice of wide reciever)... I also selected Larry Fitzgerald for a bench mainly because with Boldin out, he will be getting almost all the looks. But even with Boldin in, he could potentially be a star... just my 2 cents

David Carr and Justin Gage. I was shocked I picked up Carr in the 9th round.

Carson Palmer (QB- Bengals).

Jason Witten TE, With Vinny @ QB in Dallas, I see them giving him the ball alot. It's only his second year, but he has already gotten alot of comparisons to Jay Novacek & he's got good size.

Ahh, Jay Novacek... Best. Holder. Ever. Nobody got the ol' laces out like Jay Novacek.

Seriously, though, the guy had some great hands. If Witten's hands are anything like Novacek's, Testaverde will definitely find him.

I do not think Westbrook qualifies as a sleeper. Last year yes, this year no only for the simple reason most drafts he is going early 3rd or even 2nd round. Some teams are even picking him laaaate 1st round. A sleeper would be someone who is flying under the radar and most owners pass over until late and only then take a flyer on him and he shines big time. Westbrook is too hyped more so now with the injury to Buckhalter.

My choice for sleeper has to honestly believe it or not go with Boller as well. I think he really has a chance to shine, not to mention Patrick Ramsey, now has a real RB cannot say if the line is any better or not, but Brunell has been quite injury prone the last few year and if he goes down Ramsey will be in the wings ready to go. Both are in a new system under Gibbs however, Ramsey spent last year with all of the team while Brunell is coming in new and has to mesh with everyone.

dominick davis. he had a great season last year but is on a bad team in the texans. he will put up solid numbers all season i think.

Thomas Jones. He's in a system where he'll be used in a manner similar to Priest Holmes and Marshall Faulk, which means both rushing and receiving. So far, he's averaging around 6 yards per carry through the preseason (although, that will probably change once the regular season starts). He will probably last to a later round in a FF draft and will likely be inexpensive against a cap which would make him a great #2 or 3 RB.

I like Reggie Wayne to do well this year. Marvin Harrison gets picked in the first or second round - and the guy opposite him won't go until much later.

After being hurt last year, I like Jerry Porter this year.

I think Lee Suggs will take the Brown's starting job. The Browns have been averaging 135 yards per game on the ground in the preseason. With a healthy offensive line, they will be able to run.

I like Randy McMichael of the Dolphins to outperform many of the tight end's taken before him.

I think Jacksonville's and Indianapolis's defenses are going to be much improved.

reggie wayne and thomas jones might have really solid years... another one is moose muhammed in carolina. also if bulger goes down in st. louis, chandler fits that system so so well, he would have an amazing year as a starter there,.

Early third or late second is pretty late for a running back. Late first is just moronic. If it's a 10-15 team league and someone takes him with their first pick, just start laughing in their face.

God I hope you're right.

I'm on the Josh McCown band wagon as well. I've drafted him looking for trade bait later on. Also, David Givens at WR, I think he's going to be the man to go to at NE.

Did anyone else see Chris Brown on the Titans bitch-slap Roy Williams and run into the end zone on Monday night? That was freakin' sweet.

I don't know how much of a sleeper he is, but you heard it here: Chris Brown will be one of the top 6 RBs in the league this year. Draft him early though - someone took him in the third round in my draft last week. I was hoping to get him in the 4th.
