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

[JuSt CuZ]

Quarterback – Matt Hasselbeck – Tennessee @ Cleveland

315 Yards and 2 TDs

I think Hasselbeck has been overlooked, as he is not a sexy play in many leagues, but he has been pretty effective as a fantasy QB throwing for at least 300 and 2 TDs in 2 of his 3 games. He has been making a difference in this offense with CJ2K being ineffective, as he is fourth in Total QBR at 77.8, just ahead of Drew Brees. Cleveland is better on defense, but still will give up passing scores, including one to Kerry Collins. Tennessee lost Britt, but I believe they will utilize CJ out of the backfield more and give him a chance to make plays on the screen game as well. CJ helps get this done in the passing game and that’s great for Hasselbeck.

Running Back – Dexter McCluster – Minnesota @ Kansas City

45 Yards, along with 6 Catches for 50 Yards and 1 TD

Kansas City showed signs of life on offense last week, and it’s starting to look like McCluster is going to get more and more involved. Chances are you paid a price for him on the wire last week, so now’s the time to use him. Teams have been passing out of the backfield like mad against Minnesota. Tolbert, Graham, and Best all had a field day on them…now its McClusters turn. He is the most talented player the Chiefs have, and they even took him off some returns so he can get more touches in the offense, expect him to be make the most of his touches as even Todd Haley knows he needs to get McCluster the ball.

Wide Receiver – Titus Young - Detroit @ Dallas

5 receptions for 95 Yards and 1 TD

Speaking of getting involved, Young has made some great plays as he is getting into the swing with the Detroit offense after not playing in week one. The people who watched Detroit the past 2 weeks have noticed Young making big plays at big moments and that he is quietly creating a good chemistry with Stafford. Detroit passes a lot, and Dallas is banged up on defense, so I believe in between Calvin getting his 2 TDs to tie Cris Carters record of most consecutive 2 TDs games streak, Young will get a TD as well to go with some yards that he will get at very important times.

Tight End – Brent Celek – San Francisco @ Philadelphia

4 receptions for 70 Yards and 1 TD

No secret that Celek has not been used much in this offense since Vick has been the man there; in fact Celeks big games came with Kolb at the helm. But people have been putting a big rush on Vick to get rid of the ball quicker, and that takes away from DJaxs effectiveness. With that being said, Maclins hammy is sore and defenses are trying their best to stop McCoy in that offense while putting extra pressure on Vick. I think LBs over commit on some plays that allow Celek to get more involved than usual, since the word is out to just hurry Vick at all costs. Celek comes up big on 3rd down a few times to help your fantasy team, start him if you need a TE this week.

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

Defense – Tampa Bay at home against the Indy.

3 sacks, 4 Turnovers, and 13 points allowed

Curtis Painter?

Hope these “Sleepers” help you out, but I’m prolly wrong. Enjoy Week 4 fellas, and good luck in your matchup!

 

[D_House]

Not much to disagree with here, just want to say I love this feature - the best weekly member thread. Keep up the good work, JuSt CuZ!

 

[todisco1]

Like the reasoning behind the Celek call.

Thank you for the kind words.I believe sleepers are key to every week, we all know who the must starts are that we drafted. But injuries happen, and many people dont have time to do the research on who is a good play as a sleeper that week if one of their players is injured, I like to help out where I can...but some people may hate on you for that comment, as my loud mouth is hated on this board.

 

[JuSt CuZ]

Like the reasoning behind the Celek call.

They keep him in to block more than they should, if they give him shorter routes or allow him to release more, I dont see how that cant counter act the rush they are trying to put on Vick, but sometimes coaches out smart themselves. I know the line aint good, but rarely does keeping a TE in to help block work anyways as we already seen with the hits they get on Vick. Might as well send Celek out to catch a few 5-7 yard catches since McCoy cant get out of the backfield that quick.

Does it have anything to do with the fact that Vick may not make it through the game? Anyway, nice read.

First of all, I wish injury upon no one, and it is also hard to predict.With that being said....

 

[sho nuff]

At this point is Hass really a sleeper...especially with a prediction that he puts up numbers that are basically in line with what he has done each game so far?

Eli, Grossman, Sanchez, Cutler... Are they sleepers? According to the email I get from FBG on sleepers they are. Never heard of that Cutler guy before.

Seriously? You got to be kidding me, thats all I sayin defense of that.

 

[Restricted]

If you want to keep Hass as your sleeper, you may want to move Cook into your TE sleeper position. Cle's CB Haden shutting down opps this year, I see the Titans QB having to go to the TE early and often if he's gonna get the type of numbers you are projecting.

Nice read and keep up the good work

You called a guy a sleeper and predicted him to put up what he has done in 2 of the first 3 games so far this year.The game he didn't do that was against Baltimore and he put up 258 and 1TD.Just saying, at this point, its not really going out on a limb with Hass right now.

 

[Detroit Revival]

I've been watching Young very closely. What's amazing is that he's really starting to carve out a niche in the Det. offense. As the season goes on and Stafford gets more snaps with him, I only see his production increasing.

 

[Warrior]

BOLD PREDICTION: I think Hasselbeck will do the same as he did in two of the first three weeks.

Way to hold close to the trunk of the tree

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I actually like Avant more, due to that reasoning.

It is wayyyy beyond obvious that "Hass" is a sleeper, you look like your new to football with that post.You may not like him, or maybe you do,...but he is not a must start, not even rostered in every league...so he is a sleeper.Side note, he threw for 270 and 1 in one game, lots of studs do that huh?

He's missing his top WR, there may be questions that he can still produce as well as he did.I have to say Just Cuz is always very optimistic about TDs in all his sleeper posts. Ice cream for everyone!

I don't think people call him a stud or a must start.Just calling a guy a sleeper and predicting the same thing he has done much of the year already...kind of negates calling him a sleeper.The time to call him that was earlier in the year.Is David Nelson a sleeper this week? Predict him for 85 yards and a slight chance at a TD?

I really like this pick. MIN seemed to defend the deep pass vs Jackson and Johnson which really opened up things underneath and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they do the same thing to keep Bowe from beating them. Pope may be a sneaky play as well this week.People may look at MIN being (0-3) and think this is a game where T.Jones can be effective but MIN isn't playing badly. Add to that Kevin Williams is back and running between the tackles may be difficult for Jones. MIN has 9 sacks(tied for 7th in the league) and KC isn't hesitant to get rid of the ball quickly on short routes(30th in Net Yards Per Pass Attempt). Anyone else think Jared Allen may be a little hyped up for this game?

I'd be very interested to read about your QB sleeper this week...or at least the name of your top one.It's a given that Hasselbeck is not the #1 qb of the majority of fantasy teams in the Shark Pool. But if you are a team with the likes of Bradford, Sanchez, and maybe a few others, Hass potentially makes a nice spot play this week.

 

[ChainsawU]

With his supporting cast rallying behind him and a week of practice to improve his timing, I think Painter could do okay on Monday night.

 

[Multiple Scores]

What a waste of time arguing about whether or not a guy is a "sleeper". Is there really such a thing anymore anyway?

With you man.I think picking the #30th ranked QB on FBG projections and saying start his #### qualifies but that's just me.

 

[DocHolliday]

This is a great weekly feature. Great job. This is quality reading. Most folks are not going to agree with all of it but that is why we play the game.

I agree with all of the picks except for Hass. I think he struggles this week against a good, underated Cleveland D. Haden is a very good shut down corner. Add in the loss of Britt, a great WR so far this season, and I think Hass looks different this week.

I agree he makes a nice start. Still does not make him a sleeper to put up stats he has been putting up all year long so far.My David Nelson example shines through. He is not a sleeper either.My "sleepers"...Im fortunate enough not to need one myself at QB (Brees in one, Rodgers in the other).But for those looking...Jason Campbell...the obvious reason is that New England's pass D is awful...while the Patriot offense is very good and the Raiders may not be able to just run run run to keep themselves in this game (especially with McFadden a bit dinged).Could see Andy Dalton having a nice game trying to keep up against the Bills as well.

Why does a player have to outperform his average to be a sleeper? The QBs have had an unusually productive year so far. Maybe the defenses catch up this week and Hass hits his average and finishes in the top 5. Would that qualify him as a sleeper? Don't you just have to outperform expectations to be a sleeper?Here is the Shark Pool's expectations of Hass this week: Hass ranked 19th

I guess my point is that right now in my league Hass is the #10 QB in points scored.Predicting him to put up what is basically his average on the year...just does not seem like a sleeper to me 4 weeks in when he has been on the radar after the first 3 now.

Yeah, he adds a nice dynamic for us. that being said I would not even think about using him right now for fantasy. he is gonna be 1 of those guys that has 1 or 2 more games like last week ( or what just predicted here) this year. Other than Young I like the list here and the reasoning. maybe you do have some sense just

 

[rizzler]

Just Cuz - this is a sleeper list!

We'll never see eye to eye on the Stafford call, but this list is good

 

[duaneok66]

good work, OP, and I know it takes a lot of time and effort to construct these . . .

just one suggestion though - it would be a lot better for all parties involved if you were less defensive . . .

 

[redBourne]

It's probably his enthusiasm that is responsible for both. In any event, the term sleeper means different things to different people, obviously. I appreciate the read.

I do understand your point but just think it's wrong. Hass may be ranked 10th but he has clearly overachieved. I would also bet Newton is somewhere in your top 5. If someone were to project Newton to hit his average next week, wouldn't that qualify as a sleeper? I'd hope so because I don't think anyone is thinking Newton will throw for 340.

I understand the hate, but I dont think many understand "me" in general, I accept that. But to be completely honest, I'm a "yes ma'am, No sir" kinda guy being in the south for many of my years, I just look at this as a football message board and try to have fun, I dont take it so serious as others I guess. I have a weird passion for fantasy football and all football, I devote countless hours to it. Football is my hobby, coaching, watching film, my weekly fantasy webcast (which is this exact thread in video form, but I fail to post due to the hate that this board brings), play by play calling, football guys all hours of the day and night from my phone. Most of the things I try to say are really not as rude as it seems, I promise. But I am defensive, as I believe some hate is for the wrong or bias reasons sometimes. I get mocked for typing LOL a lot, but the reason I always do it is to let people know to not be so serious as Stevie Johnson would say. I do need to learn to let some things go, but we all have faults.

 

[kinghill]

Apart from the Dalton call, last weeks thread was pretty spot on. Thomas, Moore, Chandler, and Oakland all had good games with stats in the range of his predictions. http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=613194&st=0

I think my point is more that a sleeper is not a guy that is going to go out and put up his season average.Now, there is a sort of exception with Newton as his average was so high after those first 2 games.Cam is no longer a sleeper...he has already broken out and shown you what he can do.Hass has also now for 3 games shown what he can do.I can see where some are coming from, I just don't agree that he is a sleeper now. Maybe last week. But after another 300/2 performance last week, the sleeper tag comes off IMO.

 

[Hugonel]

Agreed. JustCuz offers some good stuff but is (often but not always) just a bit edgy. I almost closed the post because I tire of the "back and forth". But I appreciate the post. I just think most people would sift through the pointless jabs from others and still appreciate the good OP content.E.g., Of course Hass is a sleeper. He's on the WW b/c most don't expect him to continue his good production through the first 3 weeks. I dropped him earlier only b/c I got Fitzpatrick. But Hass is good value and I like him even without Britt.

I believe that you know your stuff. I have no doubt about that. It just seems like every thread of yours eventually turns into a pissing match. Part of that is due to haters. But some of it is your fault for throwing out pointless insults at people who may disagree with your picks. Anyways, it's all good.........

 

[Reepicheep]

Generating discussion and putting your neck out by picking sleepers weekly.

Taking it personally when people disagree with your picks or (gasp!) mock them.

People mess with you because you tend to behave like you're above criticisim, and to be frank your responses when challenged are often unintentionally comical in their own special way. When someone disagrees, it's either "lol debate 101" from you, or they're "biased," or they're "haters." Somehow nobody ever has a valid counterpoint in your mind.

If you're going to run a weekly thread like this you've got to be able to roll with the punches and take a little heat from the SP. If someone disagrees - great, let it be productive discussion. If you really think someone is just "hating" . . . ignore it. These threads could be a lot better for it.

People mess with you because you tend to behave like you're above criticisim, and to be frank your responses when challenged are often unintentionally comical in their own special way. When someone disagrees, it's either "lol debate 101" from you, or they're "biased," or they're "haters." Somehow nobody ever has a valid counterpoint in your mind. If you're going to run a weekly thread like this you've got to be able to roll with the punches and take a little heat from the SP. If someone disagrees - great, let it be productive discussion. If you really think someone is just "hating" . . . ignore it. These threads could be a lot better for it.
