My Sleepers for 2006 (1 Viewer)

[King of the Jungle]

QB

-Josh McCown - Many will right him off with the "Kitna is starter propaganda", but he was able to put up big numbers in Arizona.

-Craig Nall - Had some good fill-in time for Favre in Green Bay. Trying to prove that GB made a mistake not making him the Favre successor.

-Gus Frerotte - If Bulger goes down early, Gus knows the offense well.

RB

-Cedric Cobbs - A popular sleeper for obvious reasons.

-Arlen Harris - Now in Detroit with Martz Madness, he will assume duties if KJ falters.

-Vernand Morency - IMO, the most talented back behind DD. Coach talk about him not being a "zone" runner are premature.

WR

-David Boston - Remember him, he will get a shot if healthy in TB.

-Tyrone Calico - I know, it is getting old with this guy. Injuries have hampered him for two seasons though. Maybe, just maybe, he stays healthy this year.

-Doug Gabriel - Forgotten man in OAK. Porter not happy talk may give Gabriel more opportunities.

Pick'em apart, add your own if you like.

He stunk up the joint. Unless by "big numbers" you mean turnovers?

It was old 3 years ago when no one would listen to me about him. Seeing him here now just makes me angry. If he stays healthy...so what? Hes not going to unseat Givens or Bennett, and they arent going to keep him over Roydell, Roby or Wade. He'd have to look like the 2nd coming of Moss to even earn playing time or even a roster spot.

 

[Gopher State]

Ok here's my sleepers

QB David Carr new coach, new attitude I see him taking a big jump

QB McNair back with Mason, and now has Heap at TE got to like that

RB Rhodes every one is hot on the rookie, I think Rhodes out performs his average draft position

RB Duce Staley if healthy good spot to be in, on a running team, and I not sold that FWP can carry the full load.

WR Gardner alot of balls will be flying in GB with their defense

WR Booker MIA, he came on a bit last year, if Pepper is good to go Booker might be worth a spot

WR Engram SEA, everyone wants Nate B, but I think Bobby could out perform old Nate and have some real value

Jones is irrelevant to the discussion. He'll start the year on the PUP.

 

[Dirty Weasel]

I'm gonna try to name some that haven't gotten many headlines:

Najeh Davenport - Some forget that he was Ahman's backup instead of Gado. It was his injury that allowed Gado to win Fantasy titles for some folks last year. He will be given every chance to become the top RB in GB this year. I think Ahman is done for.

Lee Evans - You don't have to have a stud QB to put up nice FF stats. This 3rd year WR has 16 TD's in his first 2 years, with total crap at QB. With Moulds out of the picture, his receptions can jump from 48 to around 75, and double digit TD's is not out of reach.

Laveranues Coles - He caught 73 for 845 and 5 TD's last year, in what was probably the worst QB situation in the NFL. To expect those numbers not to rise would be crazy. I'd like to see his TD's take a big jump, but I think 10 TD's may be a stretch.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Anyone mention Jeff King as a deep sleeper yet?

 

[mistersmith]

Deep...Deep... Sleep...

 

[diesel7982]

Anyone mention Jeff King as a deep sleeper yet?

Not a bad dynasty sleeper at all.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

 

[LT21Fan]

Aaron Brooks- Maybe crazy, but if you have a spot and he's still on the waivers , pick him up. This maybe nothing but read : http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4781/news

Willis Mcgahee- Alot of people are down on him so i call him one, they said he lost about 10-15 lbs lighter and has gotten some speed back, they also said they would like to get him some catches as well rushes within the 20 yd line. He could have a great season as they dont even know who the starting QB is , he will probably get alot of touches. He could be a Top 5 back this season.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Anyone mention Jeff King as a deep sleeper yet?

Not a bad dynasty sleeper at all.

I wouldn't rule him out as a TE2 or 3 option in deep leagues at all for 2006.Dynasty - he has more value sure, but 2006 cannot be ruled out for deep leagues. He's in a position to be a HB receiver - probably not to the extent of Cooley last year - but you can't rule it out if an injury hits the WRs in Carolina.

Washington lost all their real #2 WRs last year, which quickly made Cooley the #2 target in 2005.

 

[-OZ-]

Anyone mention Jeff King as a deep sleeper yet?

How deep are these rosters?

Re: Arlen Harris, I thought Calhoun was looking like the backup, obviously he's a rookie, but he still should be better than Harris (but maybe not, hence, Harris is a deep sleeper...)

Desmond Clark might be a serviceable starter this year. At least a cheap backup.

We're going deep deep deep, so I'll throw in Dan Orlovsky over McCown, at a lower cost.

Michael Bennet, it's just radio, but he's being rumored to either head to St. Louis or Kansas City.

 

[JohnnyU]

QB

-Josh McCown - Possibly, but I don't think Kitna will fail, thus keeping McCown relegated to clipboard duty.

-Craig Nall - I like this choice.  Losman looks lost.

-Gus Frerotte - Bulger plays entire year in 2006

RB

-Cedric Cobbs - Somehow I don't think both Bell and Dayne will flop, so Cobbs may not get his shot until 2007 after one of Dayne or Bell is gone.

Arlen Harris - Career 2.9 avg, and hasn't looked good doing that

-Vernand Morency - Might not get 5 carries the entire year.  I don't think the coaches are impressed.

WR

-David Boston - There are only so many years you can call a guy a sleeper.

-Tyrone Calico - See David Boston.

-Doug Gabriel - I like Gabriel, but Porter must get traded for him to have real value.

Pick'em apart, add your own if you like.

MY 2006 SLEEPER IS RYAN MOATS

 

[Banger]

RB - Chris Brown

 

[Sabertooth]

Joe Addai. I think he beats out Rhodes early and goes on to have mucho success.

 

[Highway Robbery]

WR Drew Carter CAR - Great Speed

WR Cro Thorpe - KC- Speed kills

WR Patrick Crayton DAL - Talented and 3rd on depth chart; a TO explosion from getting PT.

WR Randy Hymes JAX - This guy has done it before and this team needs playmakers.

WR Willie Reid PIT - This FSU wideout could end up being more productive than Holmes.

WR Jerricho Cotchery NYJ - Really came on at the end of the year.

Pretty decent list, but what exactly has Hymes done before? one 300 yard season is not "doing it". The guy has some talent, reminds me of an argument I once had (a bet even) where I took Hymes over Ron Johnson, but even I have to admit, Hymes hasn't done much.

 

[wannabee]

I like Haynes as a deep sleeper. Only an oft-injured Staley keeps Haynes from BOTH 3rd down and short yardage situations.

 

[On The Rocks]

QB's

Charlie Frye. He is still a year or two away from being a FF starter (Top 10 QB)but for dynasty format, he is worth a look.

Kurt Warner. Not really a sleeper but if he stays healthy for 16 games, he could put up 3600+ yards and 25+ TD's. Not bad numbers for a guy with a QB ADP of 14.

RB's

Steven Jackson. Not a sleeper, but I think he is going to put up HUGE numbers that blow away the standard projections that I have seen.

Verand Morency. Whispers about Dom's knee, and Antowain Smith may just be too slow.

Laurence Maroney. I want this guy on my team really badly.

Duce Staley. If he rolls into the roll of the Bus.

Jerious Norwood. He is a guy I expect to take late unless someone else gets a sniff of him. Dunn is 31 and is due to slow down, while Tuckett has proved he isn't making any improvements from one year to the next.

I want to add Greg Jones to this list, but I don't know that he will bring great value where he will be picked.

WR's

Brandon Stokley. Two years ago he was the big suprise. Last year, he was hurt and this year, with Edge gone teams will be falling all over themselves to cover Harrison and Wayne.

Vincent Jackson. Deep sleeper. McCardell is 36! Thats 36 years old. However you have to compensate for Rivers not putting up great numbers to his #3 WR.

 

[Slinger]

Arlen Harris? Brian Calhoun is next in line if Kevin Jones fails.

 

[JohnnyU]

Arlen Harris? Brian Calhoun is next in line if Kevin Jones fails.

Not according to the Detroit coaches, but yes, I agree he has more talent.

 

[wannabee]

Arlen Harris?  Brian Calhoun is next in line if Kevin Jones fails.

Not according to the Detroit coaches, but yes, I agree he has more talent.

I think Harris is the guy until Calhoun gets up to speed. I do not think anyone can think Harris and his career 2.9 ypc is a threat to anyone for any time period.Harris is a safe guy for Martz to have around because he knows the system.

 

[Mister CIA]

Does Tampa Bay TE Alex Smith count as a sleeper? My gut predicts he will finish top 12.

 

[Marc Levin]

QB McNair back with Mason, and now has Heap at TE got to like that

(if not already mentioned) and the obvious reverse - that McNair will do for Mason what Mason does for McNairI see Mason possibly returning to his 80-90 catch years - and Billick actually LIKES to throw downfield and he has a QB who won;t throw it to the opponent's jersey when he does so.

 

[vinewood]

one sleeper u all have not noted is

reggie brown wr

roddy white wr

frank gore rb

dave carr qb

kevin curtis wr

ryan moats rb

c. huston rb

and there are more ,but these are good really reggie brown !!!

 

[Blackjacks]

I'll go alittle further out on the ledge (sp?) and say I think Cedrick Wilson could be a nice sleeper this year. Hines is another year older, Randle El is gone and I don't think they'll be able to run the ball as much. I also think Ben is becoming a pretty good passing qb and should leap intot he top 10 this year. I think Wilson could have about 900 yards and 6 td's this year. Not great #'s but for a guy you can draft near the end of your drafts not to bad value. Last year that would have put him around top 25.

Took him in a draft and wrote up alot of this exact explanation in the Mock Draft forum. Wilson is being severely overlooked as a guy who could catch 50-55 passes.

Wilson's a good call, except you have two worries:1. Big Ben doesn't throw that much (again)

2. Ward and Heath Miller get all the targets (well, most of them)

Last year, Big Ben averaged just over 20 attempts - that's it - per game. He averaged under 200 yards per game.

Ward had 115 of 258 WR targets last year, over 40%. Miller had 90% of the TE targets (52 of 57). Ward caught 11 TDs, Miller 6. The rest of the team - 4.

The WR2 last year (ARE) had but 70 targets. Wilson was third with 53.

So - the question is - if the same amount of passing happens this season, where does the 70 WR2 targets go? Wilson goes to 70? Ward adds 20? Miller 20?

I could see that - 20 for Ward and 20 for Miller and 17 more for Wilson covers 60 of the 70 targets. Add in the rookie WR and FWP and this isn't too much of a reach at all.

So - Wilson - 70 targets are reasonable.

Unfortunately Wilson has never caught 60% of his targets. So I see the top end would be 60% (stretch goal), or 42 catches. Realistically, I see 40. Averaging his YPC over the last 2 years, I see about 15 YPC. So Wilson 40-600-3 TDs sounds reasonable.

Using FBG (no PPR) scoring, that's 78 points, or about WR50 (Matt Jones, Chris Henry) territory from last year. PPR wouldn't help the ranking much at all.

900 yards seems WAY too high.

 

[wannabee]

I would like to think that Reche Caldwell will be a decent play as a sleeper WR for the same reasons people like Ced Wilson. The Pats lose Givens, and drafted the phenom, Chad Jackson. The Patriots spread the ball around and Caldwell, as the WR2, could be a very productive WR3/4 for a very late draft pick. I have heard good things about Caldwell working with Brady (probably fluff), but it is a good sign.

The Patriots average about 300 WR targets per year. Branch should get approximately 125-150. That still leaves 150-175 targets for Caldwell, Jackson, and Brown.

Last year, Givens had 95 targets in 13 games. I am not saying that Caldwell will get all of them, but Caldwell could get a solid 5 targets per game. This would be a great find for a spot starter as your late round WR4.

Excellent - couldn't have said it better myself.I'm still on the Cedric Houston bandwagon - I think he'll share some significant carries from CMart this year (like LJordan in the past) and become the starter next year. He's got the talent, size and speed - now just needs the opportunity (like LJord).

Moats is a very solid backup to BWest and as my 1st or 2nd RB, I'm definitely keeping him as my backup.

RWhite and RBrown are both the #1WRs on dodgy passing teams that could finally emerge this year.

 

[-OZ-]

Just looked at the ADP sheet, http://www.footballguys.com/06dodds_adp.php

When was this last updated, MJones at WR36 is entirely too low, even if you don't believe in the guy.

Glenn at WR37 seems low too. Of course TO is there, but Glenn will still be a legit starting WR in most leagues.

Come to think of it, quite a few WRs in the 34-40 range seem like good values. As opposed to those in the 25-33 range, whom I'm not big on. Judging by that, if I don't get a stud WR, I'll be holding off for awhile.

 

[Bri]

Glenn at WR37 seems low too. Of course TO is there, but Glenn will still be a legit starting WR in most leagues.

She always gets hurt doesn't she? Well she could be good trade bait if she starts strong.She's excellent speeding to a soft spot in a zone over the middle and extremely effective at continuing drives this way. I like how Parcells uses him and don't think this changes with TO around.

To me, a sleeper is a player (somewhat under the radar) who has the potential to make FF impact if given an opportunity. The WRs I chose may need an injury to see that opportunity, but have the potential to do some good things.

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Ironically, I yawned when I clicked on this thread.

Since we're talking deep sleepers, there's really not a whole lot of critiqueing that can go on. I like Frerotte as a sleeper for some pretty obvious reasons.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

I'd pretty much say no to Tyrone Calico and Arlen Harris.

 

[lions327]

QB David Carr...maybe having a solid #2 WR can help, although the offensive line is still an issue.

QB Aaron Brooks...change of scenery will help. He has always been pretty solid fantasy wise, and has plenty of weapons.

RB Fred Taylor...still the starting RB there and capable of 1200 yards. Been overlooked a lot in drafts for a starting RB.

RB Curtis Martin...see above. Age and last season are why, but the Jets were so bad he never had a chance.

WR Joe Horn...one injury plagued season and his stock has really fallen. Could be one of the better value picks this year.

WR Charles Rogers...it's his big chance to do sometihng. If his attitude and work ethic rose to the level of his raw talent, he could be a good one. Can be had for next to nothing...risk/reward is worth a late round pick.

TE Ben Troupe...just needs to stay healthy.

TE L.J. Smith...last year was a disaster for the entire Eagles team. He will play a big role in the offense this year.

To me, a sleeper is a player (somewhat under the radar) who has the potential to make FF impact if given an opportunity. The WRs I chose may need an injury to see that opportunity, but have the potential to do some good things.

sorry for not being clear. Do their own injury history's scare ya at all?

No need to act like an ###. I was yawning as I clicked on the thread. It had nothing to do with your content.Feel free to continue having your Feelings hurt though.

i dont know if these would be considered "sleepers", but these are guys i have been drafting in re-drafts according to my charts . probably because i have them ranked higher than others .

QB kitna

QB brooks

i see these 2 QB ending up qb8-15 range . possibility of both ending the season in the later top 10 .

RB deangelo williams - of all the rookie rb i see foster as the worst vet to challenge the rook . especially come fantasy playoff time . foster cant stay healthy .

RB marion barber - parcells likes him alot . i see jjones/mbarber simular to dayne/bell . but barber is seldom drafted with that high of potential in mind .

RB cedric houston - i think he becomes the 1st and 2nd down back and maybe goal-line if cmart gets hurt .
