Other than Matt CASSELL, this list is a bit suspect.

Yeah, not buying Adrian Foster or Mike Wallace this year.

I was high on Lamar Miller (MIA), but now word is maybe there will be a timeshare after all.

Depending on league rules, Reggie Bush is likely a good sleeper, for PPR at least. For the same reason, I'm buying Stafford this year.

The Arizona TE has some sleeper potential, since Palmer loves TE's. I'm keeping my eye on him to potentially buy after the first week or two.

The Franchise 08-22-2013 11:52 AM

Palmer loves TEs.....Arians does not.

And his name is Rob Housler.

Mav 08-22-2013 11:53 AM

Sleepers:

Antonio Brown, I have done several drafts for warm ups and this guy is drafted in the 7th round.......

Greg Little/Josh Gordon- They are going to have big years.

Chris Ivory-going to get the ball close to 250 times, he is a bull to bring down, and the only legitimate guy they have on offense in NY.

If you need a tight end. Remember this name. Zac Sudfeld. Patriots.....
Busts:

RG3- he is going to get hurt.

Reggie Bush- he is going to have goal line and short yardage stuff taken away from him by Mikell Leshoure.

Greg Jennings- If you are going to take a receiver from Minny, you should take Cordarelle Patterson.

Randall Cobb- he gets a lot of yards, but is injury prone, and doesn't score a lot. Plus with them drafting two running backs, you are going to see less of him in the backfield.

Danny Amendola- He is already nicked....he always gets hurt.

eh.....While I love housler, im not sure how you can say Arians hates tight ends. He used Dwayne Allen, and Coby Fleener a ton last year.

Ha! I have all four of those players, three of whom you list as busts.

We are a 1/2 PPR league (Bush and Cobb) that counts return yards (Cobb) for points. And we start 2 QB's, so RG3 is my QB2, behind Brady.

well, obviously lol, those would be great guys for that. I just don't play in any ppr leagues lol.

In58men 08-23-2013 09:08 AM

Sleepers:

Kenbrell Thompkins WR for NE. He has been turning heads.

Daryl Richardson RB for St. Louis. Could be a great pick up for the flex position.

Chris Givens WR for St. Louis. He has bloomed rapidly.

Eddie Lacy. I would take him high. As high as a 2.1 pick.

If you would take Lacy with the potential 13th overall pick, I want you in all my fantasy leagues next year.

RealSNR 08-23-2013 09:57 PM

LeVeon Bell was my rookie RB that I was willing to overdraft this year, but after his injury, no thank you.

I'm so high on Kenbrell Thompkins that I may wind up drafting him 4 or 5 rounds too early in some leagues.

I like Golden Tate a lot, with Russell Wilson now comfortable in his 2nd year.

I just got a feeling on Tony Romo. I won't go out of my way to go get him, but if he's sitting there in some drafts, I won't be afraid at all to draft him as my starting QB. I think he'll do well this year. 4000+ yards and 25-30 TDs.

Yeah on Romo. I just traded Mike Vick for him straight up.

I believe with Callahan calling the plays he is going to reel him in a little bit, and the old adage of less is more will apply here.

Which, also is going to help the value of Dez and Witten.

I'd rather take Giovani Bernard. He's more talented and plays for a team that has a better o-line and actually runs the ball.

Not to mention his value in the return game, and receiving game.

hes never going to come off the field.

Love Geo Bernard. I drafted him at 68 but think he has top 30 upside.

David Wilson's another (and pricier) strong breakout candidate and broke off an 84 yard run last night.

Skyy God 08-30-2013 07:43 AM

Andre Brown fractured a leg..... Wilson, barring injury, will be a monster this year.

Thig Lyfe 08-30-2013 10:04 AM

I'm thinking (hoping) Mendenhall blows up. If his knee doesn't blow up first.

I think Tyle Thigpen has a better chance of blowing up.

Chiefshrink 08-31-2013 09:54 AM

Todman (RB) backup to Jones-Drew is the 'real deal' and I would pick him up in a heartbeat because Jones-Drew will be hurt again. He will be this year's 'Alfred Morris' for 2013:thumb: Not comparing the 2 running wise just saying that Todman 'will be' this year's rookie RB "BOOM" player.:thumb: I have watched everyone of the Jags pre-season games because I wanted to see the progression of Fisher vs Joekel and also see the differences in athleticism and lo and behold this Todman kid just kept tearing it up !!

Chiefs will find out all about this guy very soon;)

Lynch stayed healthy all last season but if he hadn't Turbin is another sleeper BOOM RB this year for the Hags.

They're still a passing team but I think if you can get him late he'll be this years Sproles-surprise...

I get your thinking here BUT now that Cooper is out and AZ's O-line still sucks I wouldn't hold my breath.;)

Alfred Morris started from day 1. Todman and Turbin are handcuffs relying on injury.

I get that but as soon as they get their chance they are IN for good is my point.

Yeah, Bush was climbing up boards as the preseason progressed. If you drafted early he was a good deal, a late pick. In PPRs, I think he ended up being RB11 by last week though.

Thig Lyfe 09-01-2013 01:15 PM

MENDENHALL IS GONNA BE GREAT OK???

Michael is or will be ahead of Turbin, so no.
