JuSt CuZ They're My Sleepers! (1 Viewer)

[JuSt CuZ]

Quarterback – Andy Dalton – San Francisco @ Cincinnati

260 Yards and 2 TDs

I know talking big about a rookie is hard, and talking about a rookie QB in Cincy is even harder, but he is one of four starting QBs who have not thrown a pick yet this year. He has been pretty accurate with a 67% completion pct. and has a hoss of a rookie WR to throw to against a struggling team this week in San Fran. I thought this offense would be horrible, but it has not been bad. Do I see a great season for Dalton, not really, but this week and years to come should be really good for this young star in the making.

Running Back – Daniel Thomas – Miami @ Cleveland

105 Yards and 1 TD, along with 3 catches for 35 receiving Yards

This is the guy in Miami, make no doubt about it, as Reggie has continued to show that he is not an every down back. In the game where he was featured while Bush sat on the sidelines, he ran for 107 yards on just 18 carries against a much improved Houston defense. He is a downhill runner, and Cleveland has not fared well against them the past year including the game earlier this year where Benson ran all over them for 121 yards. Look for Miami to run it early an often as they should win this game, since they are much better on the road than at home.

Wide Receiver – Lance Moore - Houston @ New Orleans

6 receptions for 80 Yards and 1 TD

He did not see many passes his way last week, as Moore was back in the lineup getting use to game speed. He started in the slot against Chicago for the injured Colston, and will do the same again this week. I know there is a lot to go around in Nawlins with Hendy, Meachem, Sproles, and Graham…but Colston has been Brees favorite receiver for years, and that’s why Moore has had success in place of Colston at that slot position over the past few years. Look, Brees likes the slot receiver, and I like starting anyone who Brees likes to throw to, so start Moore in this game and have the confidence to do so as if you drafted him to be your starter.

Tight End – Scott Chandler – New England @ Buffalo

4 receptions for 65 Yards and 1 TD

Scott Who? He has been around the NFL since 2007 and has only played in 15 NFL games, and 9 of those were on special teams. I don’t care who he is, where he is from, I know he is scoring touchdowns and his QB likes throwing to him…and they will have to throw a lot this coming Sunday. We all know New England is gonna be slinging it all over the field and Buffalo is going to have to do the same to keep up. I think with Stevie Johnson having some injury issues that could leave him from getting open and allow many check downs and red zone targets for Chandler. I don’t know, or even believe, that Chandler and the Bills can keep this up all year, but this week they should produce great fantasy wise yet again.

Kicker – Who cares, it’s a kicker...just make sure you start one.

Defense – Oakland at home against the N.Y. Jets

3 sacks, 3 Turnovers, and 20 points allowed

I know the Jets are considered a pretty good team by most, but in an offensive league this year, I predict the motto of winning with defense won’t work. Face it Sanchise is not good, and to make it worse, he is the worst QB in New York…and that’s hard to beat. I decided to pass on taking a defense any earlier then the last round and go with waiver wire fodder for situations like these. A solid defense at home against an east coast offense that has a horrible QB, no running game as of now, beat up WRs, and no all-pro center that they are use to having. I could keep talking, but you can do the math.

...But I’m prolly wrong. Enjoy Week 3 fellas, and good luck in your matchup!

 

[rizzler]

Well, at least this one will be controversy free sans Stafford.

 

[solorca]

Hope you're right about Daniel Thomas. He's sitting at the bottom of my bench, but I would love to use the guy as trade bait in a week or two.

 

[andrew11]

Another thing to note about Lance Moore is that is going to have a full week of practice before week 3. He only practiced on a limited basis last week which may have lead to him only having 1 catch for 6 yards because, as you said he wasn't up to game speed.

 

[DocHolliday]

Solid post. Like the big reach for Dalton for Oakland. And, the rest make sense.

 

[The_Fonz]

I had hoped that Lance moore would be the goto guy with reggie Bush gone. It seemed like whenever reggie was out with injury, Moore had a better game. Now with Sproles there playing the reggie bush role better than reggie did, I am not sure how that will shake out for Moore. I hope you are right that colston's absence makes things good for moore. This week I am going to bench Harvin for D Nelson. Moore is still on the bench until I see him getting some action.

 

[MarcO]

Well, at least this one will be controversy free sans Stafford.

Reggie Bush - go!

 

[shadyridr]

surprised I didnt see Ben tate

 

[Sweet Love]

I feel like an idiot for asking this (but, hey I will ask), does Colston play in the slot?

 

[JuSt CuZ]

Reggie Bush - go!

 

[rizzler]

Wanna be a winner?

Throw Brandon LaFell on here...

join the wave.

 

[JuSt CuZ]

I feel like an idiot for asking this (but, hey I will ask), does Colston play in the slot?

Yes, most sets have him on the inside.

 

[finito]

I'm becoming "intrigued" by Andre Caldwell as a deep sleeper. If Jerome Simpson ends up not playing, he could be a nice security blanket for Dalton.

 

[The_Fonz]

Wanna be a winner?Throw Brandon LaFell on here...join the wave.

If I didn't have amendola and moore stashed on my bench, Lafell is who I'd add this week.

 

[JuSt CuZ]

LaFell is a good start. I like him, going back to last year, I think he would of shown more promise last year with a betetr QB....but Steve is still the guy there, as he is 2nd in the league in targets.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I feel like an idiot for asking this (but, hey I will ask), does Colston play in the slot?

Colston 2010 Slot stats:484 Slot snaps (8th)

78 Slot targets (4th)

53 Slot receptions (3rd)

696 Slot yards (1st)

link

 

[JuSt CuZ]

Some others I would consider starting sleepers or not...keepin it simple.

Dexter McCluster, especially in PPR.

Hines Ward, not much of a sleeper, but my bro-in-law is playing him and everyone he sneaks in like this lights it up. lol

If you have Tolbert and your not starting him, your insane, KC sux. I actually thought about picking up Volek to get 2 TDs in garbage time.

Great site!He produced even better in the slot then I thought. Moore is a must start in my opinion, explains why Moore produced well when Colston was out.

Interesting. Reading the coaches post-practice comments this week, I would say Matthews is the play this week. They're a little down on Mike for that critical goal line fumble against the Patriots.

Ummm, Tolbert leads the NFL in receptions...I think he is working out. Fumbles sometimes happen. He made one heck of a tackle on Wilfork. lol

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I like the Moore call.

He's healthier in practice now and really the Saints have missed him. The Graham down and out is getting shut down (relatively speaking) because Moore usually provides the excellent intermediate route option teams have to cover.

If Moore is healthy the Saints will start utilizing him to make teams have just one more thing to worry about. Plus Payton loves adding in new wrinkles for games like the Texans.

Lots of people believe Sproles will take away from a lot of the production of the other wide receivers. I disagree, while Sproles is better then Bush in my opinion, the game plan is still the same as Sproles and Bush are the same type of player.

Matthews caught a few balls last week too. Maybe a shift in the distribution of labour is underway?

Nice JC. This thread will be even more valuable when we get into the bye weeks. That's when the panic sets in.

Wow this is fantastic coming from the guy who ripped on me in the other thread when I said Bush was not a top 10 back even though this guy here said I had no idea what I was talking about and maybe someday I would learn.Good call. It took all of 1 week for your top 10 RB to fall out of grace.Still taking him in the top 3 rounds ?Maybe I will learn someday...

Things change every week in the NFL, what can I say?

 

[mcd]

Like the Moore pick, he could surprise this week in a shoot-out.

Not as big on Dalton & Thomas as sleepers, maybe if you had picked them last week. Coming off big games, most people are going to be paying attention.

 

[ChainsawU]

This is digging pretty deep, but I see a couple rookie wide receivers who may be sleepers this week in Vincent Brown and Cecil Shorts.

Both of these rookies were very impressive in training camp.

As of right now in San Diego, Norv doesn't seem very confident that Malcolm Floyd is going to play this weekend which leaves Patrick Crayton (who is not quite over an ankle injury) at wideout and Vincent Brown in the slot. Vincent Brown has been inactive so far with a quad injury, and I haven't seen this week's practice reports yet, but against KC it is safe to think there will be an opportunity, if not just in garbage time, for Brown, especially if Floyd is out and Crayton is not fully healthy. Granted, combined with his unconfirmed injury status, that is a lot of "if" statements. If anybody signs up to any of those subscription services in SD I think they mention something about him in the Bolt Report today.

As far as Cecil Shorts goes, I'm just basing production on the hype he has received in training camp and the rapport he is said to have with Gabbert who is now starting. I REALLY wish I could find the damn link, but I remember reading that Gabbert and Shorts were driving to player activities together before the lockout was over, for what that is worth. Shorts has received A LOT of praise so far and I have been surprised to see him go somewhat unnoticed here in the SP. Here is a quote from Tuesday, August 2, 2011 By Robert Neely of the National Football Authority:

LINK

I have already endorsed Gabbert as the starter sooner rather than later. But can his fellow rookie Shorts make a quick impact?

It’s possible. Jackonsville’s leading returning receiver, Mike Thomas, is a solid possession receiver, but not a player who will make big plays.

In terms of size and speed, Shorts is a lot like Thomas. If one of that duo can play outside and another in the slot, both can contribute. But if Shorts had to beat out Thomas for playing time, it will be tough for the fourth-rounder to make it on the field, at least in 2011.

But the presence of Thomas won’t completely stymie Shorts, because holdovers Jason Hill, Jarrett Dillard, Tiquan Underwood, and Kassim Osgood are not proven receivers. Shorts could quickly move up the depth chart among the group.

Do not let Shorts’ small-college roots fool you. He played Division III football in college, but at traditional power Mount Union, which recently produced Indianapolis WR Pierre Garcon.

But the most promising thing in this story for Jaguars fans is the idea that Gabbert and Shorts can grow together. Shorts and Gabbert studied together this offseason, and the fact that synergy off-the-field is translating onto the practice field makes this combo even more appealing.

Gabbert and Shorts may well be a big part of Jacksonville’s future. The question is how soon the future will arrive for the Jaguars.

 

[Bermuda_Chub]

I really like Brandon Jacobs as a sleeper this week, and I'm planning on playing him over Hightower. When it comes to mental chess, Kevin Gilbride is not above the fool's gambit, but I can't see him ignoring how pathetic the Eagles are at tackling. Especially when the heart of the Giants offensive philosophy is to pound the run and they have the personnel to exploit the Eagles' most damning weakness. Moreover, given how erratic Eli has been thus far (and through the preseason and training camp), I think Coughlin would be delighted if he could limit the passes to thirty or less. D.J. Ware got a fair amount of work in the second half last week -- even when the game was still somewhat in doubt -- perhaps to keep the big dogs fresh for this week.

Prediction: Bradshaw 130 total yards + 1 TD, Jacobs 90 total yards + 1 TD.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Yaknowwhat:

How about some Antonio Brown?

The route will be on vs the Colts and everyone will get a chance to score.

Throw in a little Redman too.

Streak broken. I have agreed with all your picks the first two weeks. Agree with all again except one. The Raiders defense I'm not on board with, otherwise solid.

The O seems "off," adjustments need to be made.

I like any defense against a team that can't pass in a passing league. If you look back Oakland D has not been awful, at home with all the reasons I belive in OP. I hope I'm right, cuz I'm startin them. lol

Dalton was 27-41 332yds and 2TDs. If that doesn't constitute for a breakout week then I'm at a loss to understand how much better he'd need to be.

Yes I know how he performed well, but what did he do the week before? I consider a "breakout week" as an insane week or a great week against a good team. He better throw for 300 yards against a bad team while elites are throwing for 400-500 against good teams. Things have changed, 300 is the old 200...so get caught up with the times, and stop living in the "stats" of last year. lolIs he no longer a sleeper, did he jump to starter on your team, is he a must start for you?

Unless, of course, if they were a die hard Bush supporter.He's never shown ability to do it so why would you think he'd be a top guy now?

You seem a bit defensive. Look, I like the thread and don't really have issue with the premise. But calling a guy who threw more than 40 times with a 66% completion rate and 330+ yards a breakout this week is just silly in my opinion. Did you expect Dalton to throw for more than 300 yards last week? I didn't and I don't think you'll find any FFL web site predict that Dalton would have been near those stats. A breakout player IMO is picking a guy to exceed expectations. The cats out of the bag with Dalton. Jumping on the wagon now is a week late to the dance.

It was PPR rankings, and I still believe Bush can be a top 10 RB in PPR, since you did not read the other thread he is taking it out of context, but its not obvious he was just looking to say something. Bush always catches passes, and if you think you can predict what a coach will do as far as sitting him the whole game...you deserve to be writing for this site, cuz thats insight a lot do not have.

Your whole point now looks like you were trying to argue.

I'm just trying to offer "Sleepers" hence the dang title. lol

what about David Nelson as a nice sleeper? Pats give up a ton of yards through the air, S. Johnson banged up a bit, Nelson's getting a lot of targets, they should be behind and throwing most of the game....JuSt A thOUGht

I admire your courage to pick players who had breakout games last week.

Andy Dalton, Lance Moore, and Oakland had breakout weeks last week? hmmm, didnt know that, thanks for the feedback. lol

Dalton was 27-41 332yds and 2TDs. If that doesn't constitute for a breakout week then I'm at a loss to understand how much better he'd need to be.

Yes I know how he performed well, but what did he do the week before? I consider a "breakout week" as an insane week or a great week against a good team. He better throw for 300 yards against a bad team while elites are throwing for 400-500 against good teams. Things have changed, 300 is the old 200...so get caught up with the times, and stop living in the "stats" of last year. lolIs he no longer a sleeper, did he jump to starter on your team, is he a must start for you?

You seem a bit defensive. Look, I like the thread and don't really have issue with the premise. But calling a guy who threw more than 40 times with a 66% completion rate and 330+ yards a breakout this week is just silly in my opinion. Did you expect Dalton to throw for more than 300 yards last week? I didn't and I don't think you'll find any FFL web site predict that Dalton would have been near those stats. A breakout player IMO is picking a guy to exceed expectations. The cats out of the bag with Dalton. Jumping on the wagon now is a week late to the dance.

Ok, well we can discuss breakout player...this thread is titled "Sleepers'Is he no longer a sleeper?

No, so your argument is pointless and is just an attepmt to argue and try to hijack the thread.

Hijack the thread? How is pointing out Dalton's stats last week and offering an opinion hijacking? LOL! I'm TRYING to have a legit conversation. I'm out as you obviously seem more intent on being argumentative and thin skinned. You want to call players who had their coming out party last week "breakouts" this week then have at it.

That post you quoted was made AFTER you said "No, so your argument is pointless and is just an attepmt to argue and try to hijack the thread."I didn't come in to argue but yeah...I responded in such AFTER you put the pedal down and accused me of hijacking a thread after I had only posted Dalton's stats last week and questioned him being a sleeper. Don't piss on me and then question why someone else pisses back.

LOL, Your talking Dalton is a breakout player, I say he is a sleeper. We disagree...cool. lol Let it go.

I like Nelson as well, but according to Buzzbait, he cant be a sleeper...he had a "breakout week" last week.
