Who will be this years fantasy football sleepers?

Answer 1

QB Aaron Brooks OAK
WR Reggie Brown PHI
RB Frank Gore SF
TE Ben Troupe TEN
K Ryan Longwell MIN
DEF Miami

These are all players you can pick up after round 7 and some after round 10. They are great values!

Answer 2

here are some of mine by position:

QB: Jake Delhomme - continues to slip to rounds 7-8; he'll get you as much value as Hassleback who's going 2+ rounds earlier.
Deep sleeper: Drew Brees - NO; he has more WR fire power than he had in SD, and they are going to need to throw a lot.

RB: it's harder to find a RB sleeper - the big factor is whether or not a player gets a shot as the #1 back; and of course injuries. I like Addai to come on in the 2nd half, but so does everyone, so that doesn't make him a true sleeper. Guys like Warrick Dunn and Reuben Droughns are steady producers who always fall to the 4th round. One rookie that isn't getting as much press is Deangelo Williams on CAR. He's behind Deshaun Foster, who is made of glass.

WR - this position is usually where you find the most sleepers. I saw someone had Roy Williams. I don't think he's top 5, but he'll be a heck of a lot better than last year. I don't know if he's a sleeper though and expect you'll see him gone in round 4.

Michael Clayton should rebound this year, and he's been available later (rounds 7-9 or so). I also like David Givens in TEN, and both Baltimore wides who everyone overlooks.

TE - Here's where some rookies could have impact: Vernon Davis is a monster and should help a struggling QB. Marcedes Lewis in Jax and Joe Klopfenstein in STL. I also like Zach Hilton in NO - Brees was a big fan of the TE in SD.

Answer 3

I guess I consider sleepers as players no one really knows as opposed to players who I expect to outperform their rankings.

That said, I feel Zachary Hilton, TE Saints could be a sleeper. He had a strong second half last year. Now he has a QB that is very accustomed to finding his TE and a bad offensive line which won't give Brees time to look down field long. Also, good outside receivers and Reggie Bush should leave Zachary 1 on 1.

Answer 4

Roy Williams for Det will be a stud this year. Top 5 WR. Where you'll be able to grab him in drafts (likely the 4th round), that is a steal.

Deuce McAllister is falling further in drafts than he should. I don't think he'll give way to Bush that easily. Rookie RBs rarely live up to the hype. Same goes for Dillon in NE.

Michael Clayton will bounce back huge.

My deeper sleepers are J. Kitna, K. Robinson, D. Givens, C. Perry (albeit he's injured right now), Ben Watson, & D. Rhodes.....

Answer 5

Frank Gore
Roy Williams
Joe Horn
Donte Stallworth
Ernest Wilford
Kurt Warner
Billy Volek
Deshaun Foster
Willy Parker

Answer 6

There is one name that I don't see on the sleepers list.....Jabar Gaffeny of the eagles.
This is why
1. Mcnabb needs a new favorite receiver.
2. When he (Gaffeny) was in Houston, he didn't have much of a QB
or offensive line. He couldn't excel.
3. Someone has to step up and fill T.O.s shoes(or at least come close)
4. Both Mcnabb and Gaffeny have something to prove.

5 They owe it to that kid on the ESPN make a wish segment who was coach for a day.

6. I'm gonna hate to say "I told u so" around week 4!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Philip Rivers. He may be rookie-esque, but he is throwing to 2 of the best in the game at their position. If a WR can step up, the sky is the limit. Also, Chester Taylor gets a starting job in Minnesota with Shawn Alexanders best offensive lineman who jumped ship in the offseason. Look for Larry Fitzgerald and Steven Jackson to go from good picks, to great picks and worthy of first round consideration for next season.

Answer 8

Jon Kitna is a great call.. I'd also take a gamble on TO (though not a sleeper). Daunte might be worth a shot in later rounds as well, he could bounce back in a huge way.

Answer 9

Eli Manning

Answer 10

Carnell "caddy" Williams. Rookie of the year last year and the schedule for the bucs gives them some hard teams but also some teams with some weak defenses
