Name your top 3 sleepers this year (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Know-It-All]

I like Michael Turner, Brandon Jackson, and Leonard as potentially helpful sleeper RBs.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

All the Boston supporters have went into hiding with the recent news...

Or maybe it's that they understand the definition of "sleeper." The cat's out of the bag, Boston has taken the starting job-- he's no longer a sleeper.

Is he really still a "sleeper" if he's possibly going to be suspended for being under the influence.

Buccaneers | Boston practices, may play in game Published Fri Aug 24 4:22:00 p.m. ET 2007 (KFFL) The St. Petersburg Times reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR David Boston participated in practice Friday, Aug. 24, and could play in the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 25, against the Miami Dolphins. Boston was arrested for driving under the influence Thursday, Aug. 23, but the Buccaneers believe the charges will not stick.

Eric JohnsonLeon WashingtonDamarius Bilbo

What's Bilbo's story? Haven't seen much on him.

I figure that with a name like Damarius Bilbo, how can he NOT be awesome?

I believe it's called "There and Back Again".

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

1. Jerry Porter

2. Jamal Lewis

3. Daunte Culpepper

I'm amazed at how far this guy falls. In the days of "what have you done for me lately", people avoid him like the plague, and he's perfect for those who wait until late on TEs.If you like not drafting a kicker, here's a kicker I love picking up after the draft (not even last round) as a perfect sleeper candidate.

Longwell.

Perfect mix of A) probable explosive rushing attack B) Tough defense and C) Shaky QB play. Gould numbers this year??? Probably not, but he's as good as any to pickup after the draft, and he's likely undrafted in all leagues. I see even earlier sleeper picks like Mare and Gostkowski picked up in many drafts, so of course this is assuming that they are gone.

And if SOS does anything for you, his is right up there at the top

I'd list two more if I had time, gotta run.

Oh no, he's definitely a "sleeper", but more in the literal sense.

Marcedes Lewis

Brandon Jacobs (not a sleeper but he will finish top10 RB)

Cedric Benson (not a sleeper but he will finish top10 RB)

 

[kensat30]

I think the entire Houston offense is a sleeper right now. And so is Pittsburgh's passing game.

Somebody better tell their o-line then. Speaking of sleepers, I think they "SLEPT" through most of last year (at least with regard to pass blocking). OH SNAP!

Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Someone who has never watched David Carr quarterback for more than a few quarters.

 

[Billy1x]

I'm going with James Jones (WR GBP), Matt Schaub (QB HOU), and David Martin (TE MIA).Lets hear em...these guys could take you to the championship if they pan out. Ask anyone who picked up MJD or Colston last year.

Agree. Add Jacoby Jones if he wins the starting WR position of the Texans.

 

[Linton Trust]

4 players i plan on having on my team who i think have a chance to be good enough to be starters:

- Lamont Jordan - has a chip on his shoulder, has a better coach, and is running like old self. see him going 8th in later in some leagues. think i'm going to get him around there.

- Ahman Green - I am seriously considering saying f taking a RB high this year, and just settling on green and jordan. that's a HUGE chance... but if Green can get 1000 and 8 rushing, along with 40 rec, 300 yds, and 1 td rec... he'll more than make up for 5th round pick it'll take to get him and the WR/Gates i'll have instead of RBs will make up for his non-superstar stats.

- Jason Campbell - am planning on taking mcnabb in the 4th... and Campbell with my last pick of the draft as backup (10 team league). when doing my projections last week - i had Campbell ranked 9th overall... i don't have enough faith in my projections to let him be my #1 though

- Jericho Cotchery - in my leagues scoring system he was ranked 19th last year at WR. he's currently absent from some top 40 list.

 

[hellz_fireflies]

Garrett Wolfe Chi.

M.Bell Den.

James Jones GB

 

[cowboy homer]

WR - S.HolmesTE - C.CooleyRB - L.JordanQB - Big Ben

Dont think Cooley is a sleeper but like the rest of your list

 

[Deuce'sWild]

Any chance Colbert wins the #2 job in Carolina?

 

[Defending Champs]

Dear god, good luck to you if Green and Jordan are your two backs this year. I like your gumption, though wouldn't bet too much money on ya.I do like Green this year, I'm attempting to throw him in as my RB3. We'll see how that works out.

 

[texasheat]

DeShaun Foster

Wes Welker

Santonio Holmes

Sleepers? I dunno, but huge value to be had IMO.

 

[Mighty Ducks]

In no particular order:

Reggie Wayne (could be Indy #1 WR)

Joseph Addai (might not be sharing carries w/ Rhodes gone)

Tom Brady (finally has some WRs - I see a big year for him, maybe QB #2)

What do you think? Comments welcome.

 

[mcnabbmcnow]

Santonio Holmes WR

Vikings DEFENSE

Sammy Morris RB

Jason Campbell QB

I would stay away from RB Buckhalter. Tony Hunt will get the goalline carries for the Eagles.

These guys might be considered sleepers... in Bizarro World.

as the time nears (9 hours away) i'm leaning towards just drafting Parker/Westbrook with my 1st pick. but i feel like that's being safe, which is what i normally do; i feel like shaking things up this year and i don't think it's a bad strategy regardless of how many thousands of articles i've read that advise against it. i don't think the numbers i projected for ahman are too hard for him to reach (unless he gets injured). my league only requires us to play one RB, 2 WRs, and a TE. then a rb/wr... if it required 2 starting RBs - i wouldn't even consider not drafting one in the first round.

 

[Sleeper 43]

Not sure if you could categorize James Jones as a "sleeper" anymore. He'll be drafted above his value from here on out.My top 3 are sleepers (value)1. Romo 2. Santonio Holmes 3. Zach Miller honorable mentions:Arnaz BattleBo ScaifeKevin Curtis

 

[money.never.sleeps]

1.) Bernard Berrian - (51) (775 yards) and (6) TD in 06' to my proj. of (82) (1250) and (11) TD in 07'

2.) Eric Johnson, TE Saints

3.) Dallas Cowboys defense Top - 5

Don't know if counts but think 1 of 2 Julius Jones or Jerious Norwood : (1,200) rush yds. and (10) TD

Also like Rookie WR for NY Giants Steve Smith

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

Brian Leonard

Mr. Pink, Brian Leonard is going to frustrate the livin' bejesus out of Steven Jackson owners.ciaoMr. Grid

 

[Travieso]

One of these two RB will be worthy of starting as #2 at some point this season

AP (Chi)

Sammy

Schaub or Eli surprises at QB

 

[teamramrod]

Not seeing it out here yet, but gotta give props to ConstruxBoy.

NALL

[hove]

Based upon potential injury to the starters, I like P.Crayton (Dal) and B. Johnson (Arz) for late round fliers.

 

[Burning Sensation]

WR - S.HolmesTE - C.CooleyRB - L.JordanQB - Big Ben

It scares me that i agree with a guy that cant count to three.

 

[Garts]

welker

crayton

S. holmes

duckett ( for tds anyways)

 

[Woz]

1. QB - Vince Young (top ten QB can be had in rounds 8-9)

2. RB - Warrick Dunn (going mid-rounds, well after Norwood, and yet he was a part of the leading rushing attack)

3. WR - James Jones

4. WR - Wes Welker

5. TE - Jason Witten (being taken as like the 10th TE overall)

6. TE Bo Scaife (great value 14th or later - Young loves him)

 

[Lahoopz4ever]

Brandon Jones

Brandon Marshall

James Jones

Tony Hunt

Brian Leonard (DID ANYONE SEE HIM JUMP OVER THAT GUY MY GOD!)

James Jones

Chris Brown

Chris Henry (CIN)

Kevin Curtis

A lot of these guys have been mentioned but they are sleepers I am targeting.

Ex-Sleepers (Everybody knows already)

DJ Hackett

Santonio Holmes

Potential Sleepers I would keep an eye on

Chatman from Miami

Anthony Thomas

DeDe Dorsey

Michael Pittman

Eric Moulds

Jacoby Jones

David Carr

Kevin Kolb

Billy Volek

 

[Lahoopz4ever]

wow just realized it said 3 and that I listed James Jones twice. Man I am tired....

 

[Sweetness_34]

Easy....

Rex Grossman (ridiculous how people are drafting so many QBs that do not deserve to go before Grossman)

Clinton Portis (for where he is being drafted, it is the SOD)

Lamont Jordan (again, for his ADP, he is a steal)

 

[JuniorNB]

Wouldn't touch Grossman with a ten foot pole. I doubt he'll be starting by week 8.Portis, if healthy, remains an elite back. The 'gamble' is the reason he's being drafted so low. If he stays healthy, I don't think anyone will be surprised if he finished top 5-7 amongst backs.

 

[Gravity]

QB - Eli Manning

RB - Foster

WR - Porter

TE - Shiancoe
