Six Pack of Dynasty Sleeper WRs (1 Viewer)

[gregjcross]

Tons of receivers that could make this list but these are the six that intrigue me the most in 2009 These are purely deep sleepers/bargain players for dynasty forrmats or super size leagues (16 teams.)

1. Mike Walker JAX..... Health the issue but the potential is there if you get him as a WR 5, could be electric.

2. Kenny Britt TENN..............Britt just smells like real deal and someone that might surprise immediately. Titans finally have learned how to avoid drafting losers

3. Andre Caldwell CIN...... This guy reminds me of Hines Ward and in course of next 24 mos. with more seasoning could emerge as a top 24 WR

4. Chansi Stuckey (or Clowney), NYJ .......... fighting it out. I have feeling about Qb Sanchez as well as both these emerging receivers

5. Chaz Schillens OAK .......... Oakland might end up with a very consistent player among its fold

6. Josh Morgan SF ....... He keeps showing ver strong at practice, even with Crabtree, Morgan should have the grit to start opposite him and dethrone Issac; the 49ers QBs are underrated.

2008 list could have had....

1) Steve Smith (giants), 2 Sidney Rice (vikings), 3 Devin Thomas (redskins), 4 Dwayne Jarrett (panthers) 5 James Jones (packers) 6. Laurent Robinson

Tough to call Britt a sleeper considering he's a first round NFL draft pick and he's been going top of the 2nd in most rookie drafts or before the 8/9th round in startups.Schilens has a great shot to break out this year. You have got to love his hard work.I feel like we're starting to see a lot of the same WRs being mentioned as sleepers around here.

Replace Britt with Knox and I like the list.

The 2009 list could have all these guys as well, save for Smith.

I have a small investment in Andre Caldwell that I'd love to see come to fruition.

I love the situation - OchoCinco and Coles are both in early 30's, and both have had their share of bumps and bruises. Carson Palmer is certainly an upper echelon QB when healthy, and it's reasonable to expect a high # of Pass Attempts this year. I think it's probably reasonable to expect the Bengals to be behind more often than not this year, which could mean more multiple WR formations, and Chris Henry still has some work to do to get off my Knucklehead List.

I Drafted Caldwell as a Rook, and put him on my Practice Squad. I liked what I saw of him when he played, and as far as I know, he's ahead of fellow Rookie Jerome Simpson from a developmental standpoint. Outside of that, I don't have much on the guy, but I'm pulling for him, mostly out of my own self-interest.

I'd like to hear more about him from folks closer to the situation, please!

He sure has swagger.From Bengals.comHands me down to CaldwellAndre Caldwell, who thinks he's the next man up on third down, says T.J. Houshmandzadeh taught him everything about being a pro. From studying the entire body of work in the film room to working to take care of the body in the training room."I never took care of my body," Caldwell said after Tuesday's practice. "Now ... I feel 100 percent better than last year."But that doesn't stop the 24-year-old Caldwell from believing he brings a few more things to the table than the 31-year-old Houshmandzadeh. As one of only a few of Carson Palmer's receivers that can play the slot that Houshmandzadeh vacated for Seattle, Caldwell knows he's got big shoes to fill and even bigger hands to mirror.So it's nice to know he has at least one of Houshmandzadeh's attributes: Raging self confidence."I think I fit the T.J. form, but I think I can do more things after I get the ball," he said. "I'm a little faster, a little shiftier guy. I think I possess both of those qualities. I can also go deep just like Chad does.""That's what I'm looking for; when third down comes, my number be called," Caldwell said. "I think I can do that. I also think first and second down I can make plays down the field."

Or Edison. I like Collie and Deon Butler.

I like Garcon better than Collie for 2009.

 

[millertyme1]

Here are 3:

(1) Chris Henry [i believe he'll have an Antonio Bryant like revival when 85's gone]. Skills are there to be a 1000 yard WR.

(2) Laurent Robinson

(3) Mario Manningham

They are both rookies but this was a dynasty question.

I agaree with FUBAR. Not only in 2009, but going forward I think Garcon is the sleeper pick.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

[texasbirdfan]

I rostered Garcon in the 5th round of our rookie dynasty draft this year, but my sleeper is

Matt Jones when Jerry Jones picks him up

 

[gregjcross]

Im not sure which one its going to be, yet... but either Domink Hixon or Steve Smith is going over 1000 yards with a handfull of TDs.Pretty sure one of them will expose it all during the preseason, but between now and then its incredible value for a WR #4 that is currently in the 45-60 range.*Note FBGs Wimer has Hixon and Waldman has Smith in the WR 3 ranges currently.

I cant see any Giant WR getting 1,000 this year unless Manning really locks into someone.

 

[BeTheMatch]

James Jones.

If this guy's healthy, they won't be able to keep him off the field. Driver is upset over his contract and getting up there in years. Rodgers proved capable enough to keep this is a pass-first offense, so there should be plenty of targets up for grabs behind Jennings. Jones, I think, is much more talented than Jordy Nelson. I think James Jones could have a breakout year.

 

[nittanylion]

Thanks, JPeso, for Post #6!

Deon Butler is a good call that I missed earlier. Penn State bias aside, Butler could fill a definite need in Seattle. Of course, Butler is a raw Rookie, and has big shoes to fill, but talk about walking into a perfect situation: with Engram gone, there's a hole to be filled as a 3rd Down slot WR in Seattle, and if his skills translate, he's going to get an opportunity. Butler was quite good at finding seams in College - he's gets in and out of his breaks pretty quickly, he's agile, and runs decent patterns. Plus, wouldn't it be kinda neat seeing a newer Penn Stater fill the shoes of an elder one?!!

As a loyal Penn Stater, and a Seattle resident for the last 20 years, Any camp updates on Derrick Williams? I'm interested in his KR and PR potential, as well as the possibility that he gets the starting slot job.

Driver isn't going anywhere. He's a loyal guy who realizes that he has it made in GB. Unlike glory-hound Favre, Driver will be content to finish his career in GB. So while I also think both Jones & Nelson have upside, the targets simply aren't going to be there in 2009.

That's a real convincing argument. How about providing something convincing besides calling someone a dreamer.For the record Jones was the #3 last season until he was hurt. He was one of the most improved players over the offseason according to McCarthy.

Why am I bothering thoug? I hope the readers will all bypass him so I can grab him late.

bcr8f - when do you expect Jones to make an impact? In dynasty he's definitely a good buy right now, I just wonder how soon you can really expect him to produce. I don't envision him worth starting until 2010....

I'm not sure. In this offense the #3 WR could have better numbers (than the #2) even if Driver starts.Last year he was hurt and never really recovered. Prior to TC McCarthy said he was one of the most improved players.

When TC starts I think whoever is better will get more playing time even is Driver is the starter.

He could overtake Nelson for the #3 WR.

He could be bargain. Grab him if you have the space.

I cant see any Giant WR getting 1,000 this year unless Manning really locks into someone.

I cant see how one of those two does not reach that plateau. They have had plenty of time with Manning... and Burress, Toomer and Shockey arent anywhere to be seen.

I would just add, statistically, getting 1,000 when its a bunch of look-alike guys at receiver like what they have, even if its only Kevin Boss at TE, just seems unlikely. I personally wanted to see more out of Steve Smith last year when Plax was out. I even think getting 850 yards would be a remarkable year for any of the current Gint WRs because I would expect them to be used in a platoon. Hixon might be the most explosive and a good deep threat, but if he draws a top CB, i dont see him being a stud. I also think Hakeem Nicks is a few years away.

My argument was in my initial post. And I was commenting to a guy I know - named Dream. So dial it back. Thanks
