Routt's Playing Time to Increase

<i>TSN</i> reports Oakland Raiders second-year CB Stanford Routt showed glimpses of the player he can be in this league last season when pressed into action after injuries to starting CB Charles Woodson. He is fast, aggressive and has solid instincts. The Raiders like his ability to play nickel back against bigger receivers, as well as matching up against faster receivers on the outside. Routt struggled with his consistency last season but that is to be expected from a rookie. He has worked hard with Hall of Fame CB Willie Brown to be more consistent in what to look for from receivers and how to avoid committing costly penalties and getting beat so often. He also has the opportunity to learn from veteran CB Tyrone Poole and CB Duane Starks. Look for Routt to get significant playing time as an extra defensive back, especially against three-receiver formations. He is a player with a bright future and the talent to develop into a starter in the coming seasons.

I think he'll take the nickel job, fo sure, and has the ability start opposite Fabien eventually.Here's an even deeper sleeper for them :

If you get points for returns, and Chris Carr wins the 4th CB job, he might be an interesting pick. Deep sleeper for sure, but he did OK in the preseason as a CB last year.

With Schweigert, Routt, Washington, Huff, Asomougha, Poole, and Starks there is no way Carr gets playing time at DB this regular season.I know we are talking deep sleepers, but even in that respect, no chance.
