Flops and Sleepers (1 Viewer)

[Heinz 57]

Got a big 16 team draft going on in a matter of hours. Who do you guys see Flopping, who do you think will exceed? Heres What Im thinking. Feel free to drop a line/your 2 cents. Thanks in Advance.

Flops: Ahman Green (no surprise) Gore (1 hit wonder?) Glenn (doesnt reach 1000) Westbrook

Sleepers: Jamal Lewis (1200 +) Marshawn Lynch (1000 +) Vince Young (not cursed afterall) Crayton (1000 yards....a reach I know) Brandon Jackson (starting by week 3)

I like the Crayton pick (like him more for a late WR dynasty choice -- 2007 FA), but he's also in a real nice situation this year as well (two aging WR's, one of which has already undergone surgery).

I think Lendale White is a solid sleeper RB (if your draft is 2morrow). You'll get him at a RB4 price in all likelihood and could get RB2 results. I would take him over Ahman Green and Jamal Lewis myself (though you won't have to as both will go before him). I see Houston and Cleveland being awful again and behind (and passing) most games.

Green will be a solid RB3, but nothing better. Gore will blow up with a more versatile offense this year, and a better Smith - only flops if he is injured. I agree with you on Glenn, especially considering Romo is way overrated right now. Westbrook is still a top 10 back, but won't be able to repeat last year's performance - offense won't be nearly as conservative without Garcia at QB.

Not sure if I am following you logic here...Almost any player can be a potential flop if they are drafted too high. Sure, you draft A. Green as your number one back you may be disappointed. But he offers tremendous value this year, especially in a PPR format and should be able to be drafted in the middle rounds but produce solid #2 RB numbers.

I don't see how Glenn's expectations are that high so how could he be viewed as a flop?? He is projected at 60 catches, 900 yards and 5-6 td's. Those are WR3 numbers...again not following your logic.

You throw in Gore and Westbrook and frankly I think they both with be excellent #1 backs with Westbrook flourishing in a PPR format.

Wishful thinking on Jamal Lewis reaching 1200 yards, ain't gonna happen. Lynch is being drafted much higher then he will probably produce, I see Lynch being in the same category as Ahman Green in this year production. Vince Young will surprise no one this year and with no weapons around him, defenses will be targeting him. Crayton a sleeper??? If you call 35 catches, 350 yards and 3 td's a sleeper...ok. Brandon Jackson...we will see. Rookie RB's tend to struggle their first year in the NFL.

That being said, it appears as if I totally disagree with you and would reverse the players you consider flops and sleepers.

If you think crayton lands 350 yards or less this year I can see why we are in total disagreement. I understand what youre saying about Green, but in my opinion he won't last a whole year. Could be wrong in a few instances but Im just tossing out some of my gut feelings.

I have no problems giving Crayton another 100 yards for the season equaling 450 yards (concensus range for FBG rankings). I frankly do not see him being a sleeper bottom line. There are many better options out there....

Crayton is the only sleeper on this list.
