who are your big sleepers... let's try to think outside the box a little... we all know the "sleepers" that are talked about alot... so they aren't even sleepers anymore...
some real reaches you haven't heard before
uh... I'll start... travis henry... rb with the bills... multiple 1,000 yard rusher behind an oft-injured back... but he may get injured too...

well...since his arrest and injury, jamal lewis has been overlooked. i got him in the 24th round, and that late, is definetly worth the risk.
another is darrell jackson, but a different kind of sleeper. he will probably be picked within the first 5 rounds, but is an excellent player. he definetly is a steal anytime after the 4th.
if you use defensive players, terrence mcghee. he returns kicks, which earn a lot of points, or a lot more than defense (in my league.)
these are a few

Kevin Jones (Detroit Lions). Led the league in rushing the second half of the season his rookie year. Was injured alot of last season, Mariucci forgot that he had a stud for a running back and barely gave him 10 touches a game, and had no passing game to take the pressure off. This year Mike Martz and Rod Marinelli plan on giving him at least 25-30 touches a game, the quarterback and reciever positions are upgraded, and hes healthy and primed for a breakout season

Jerious Norwood, RB ATL; Dunn has a groin injury he's nursing, and Duckett is gone.
Ernest Wilford, WR JAC; Matt Jones is the "popular" choice, but EW had 7 TDs even with Jimmy Smith in the mix.

Here...you want a sleeper or two...L. Pope T.E. with the Cards...just remember his name, it will be called on frequently. He's a 6'7" monster and has great hands. And rookie WR Greg Jennings with the Packers. Farve loves this guy already!!! As for an older player...Troy Brown will be picking up the slack that will be left because of the D. Branch holdout...as will their TE Watson as well!

Travis Henry, Maurice Drew(Jags), Mark Clayton(WR, Ravens), Maurice Hicks(RB, SF), Bryon Leftwich(QB, Jags), Chris Simms(QB, TB), Chris Perry(RB, Cincy), Marion Barber(RB, Cowboys), Roddy White(WR, Atl), Matt Jones(WR, Jags), Wali Lundy(RB, Texans)
The rookie RBs are out there but they aren't really sleepers

Donte Stallworth (Now with Philly....McNabb is going to show this guy some love in the city full of it supposedly...)
DeShaun Foster (If he can stay healthy will put up huge numbers)
Warrick Dunn (Now getting goal line carries without T.J....I picked this guy up in the 8TH ROUND...EIGTH!! I can't believe he was still there. 15 rounds in the draft)
Other than those three..just a few guys to watch out for to have good seasons..DeAngelo Williams(Foster's health problems could make this guy "Platinum good"), Mark Brunell, Donald Driver, Javon Walker, and Ronnie Brown.

Kevin Cutis of STL. He will be #2 reciever in STL soon. Also, Mcnair and Mason together will be DYNAMIC! I have Mason on my team after some dumbass dropped him.
