There's maybe 3 TE's you take over WRs
I'm going QB, TE, TE, RB
There's maybe 3 TE's you take over WRs
He's not really a sleeper but I'm drafting Julio Jones as my #1 WR. Dude is set to explode this year.
That's why he's my #2 RB. It's a gamble, but I think he's worth it.
If Williams is traded then Stewart will definitely see more carries and more yards, but the touchdown problem is still there cause you know Cam Newton will be options 1-5 in goal line situations.
Yup and I am getting them all.
Most leagues you can only start 1 TE. It is not a good idea drafting to make trades. Most teams will just give you low ball offers and you may end up having a good player sitting on the bench.
Jones over Calvin Johnson? Johnson will be a 1st round pick. Everyone is on Jones so look for him to go in the 2nd round or early 3rd round.
My definition of sleeper is guys you can draft late, but hugely outperform guys drafted ahead of them.
Haven't completed my analysis yet , but I here are some off the top of my head.
1. Jordy Nelson
2. Donald Brown
3. Antonio Brown
4. Josh Freeman
No big difference makers yet.
3.
Donald Brown I don't like at all. Just don't think he is very talented. Had lots of opportunity to take over the job and never gets the job done. I am staying away from all Colts. They will be a bad team. Luck will struggle in his first year.
Is Randall Cobb going to get some playing time? He did well when he saw playing time and that should increase this year. Cobb is a sleeper on a high pass oriented team and he is talented.
Nelson will be hit and miss and end up being a frustrating player to own
Antonio Brown is a nice sleeper.
Josh Freeman : Too many more solid qb options to consider before Freeman.

i can't remember the last "sleeper" I've drafted.
Usually you race to the free agent list when he breaks out.
Yeah Donald Brown has been a "sleeper" for years. He simply sucks.
Last year my somewhat sleeper pick was Jimmy Graham and it paid dividends for me. This thread has me pumped, I think it's going to be an exciting season.
I have a tough choice between Brees and Megatron as a keeper. I've had Calvin for 3 years in a row now and I don't think I could live with some other in my league racking up points with him. Brees is a monster, but there's a ton of QB's to choose from that are gonna be steals (Cutler, for me)...there's only one Megatron though
Easy. Megatron everyday of the week.
Look out for Torry Smith of Baltimore. I mean he's definitely gonna bust out this year, but think if he had a real quarterback.
I agree. I'd keep Megatron and try and draft Romo, Staffard, or either Manning.
I like Cutler, and the Bears are my team, but they still haven't done a damn thing with the offensive line. I know they eliminated Cutler's 7 step drop which will help, but I'm not so sure I'd draft Cutler as my #1 QB. If you can get him as a backup then that's the way to go.
I've done a couple mock drafts so far and in both I've been able to get Michael Bush in late rounds. While Forte will be drafted high, I'd stay away from him. Not sure how his knee will be and you have to question his motivation coming off this mess of a contract. I have a feeling Bush will see more action early on.
I'm assuming Megatron will be gone. I guess it just depends on where I'm drafting.
Brandon Marshall IMO is getting too much hype as a sleeper and is gonna get overvalued in drafts. As Girasuck said the Bears' offensive line is a complete mess that'll always prevent their offense from being a powerhouse. I still think he'll do well this year but not well enough to be a top 5 receiver.
I think Shane Vereen is a sleeper and will eventually become New England's 1st and 2nd down back. I know he did nothing last year and Ridley was decent, but Belichick is not gonna have any patience with Ridley if he continues to fumble and Vereen is simply better. I said it when he was drafted and New England is starting to figure out that while he is a great receiver out of the backfield and great east-west runner he's good between the tackles.
I might take Tebow in the 6th or 7th.
I might take him in the 1st or 2nd because I want it all.
Doug Martin rb Tampa bucs will take over if not week one soon enough for Blount better hands better blocker in pass protection only question may b if Blount gets the goal line carries
Sleeper #1: Reggie Bush.
Daniel Thomas is not a threat for Bush's carries. The new coaching staff uses a zone-blocking scheme which Thomas isn't suited for. Thomas very clearly struggled on the field last year relative to Bush. Bush showed a lot of explosiveness, burst, and strength, while Thomas ... well, he didn't. It's possible Thomas isn't even the #2 RB this season.
Word on this will probably be out by August, but it's not yet, and hopefully it stays that way.
Sleeper #2: LeGarrette Blount
My first pick is based on researching OTA reports, but this is much more of a gut call, based on talent level. Blount, believe it not, was a top RB last season ON FILM. Not on performance, because the O-Line sucked. Doug Morris, in my opinion, will struggle, just like he struggled against any better than mediocre rush defense he faced in college. I think this has all the makings of yet another case where high expectations for a rookie RB are dashed, and the more talented veteran keeps his job while the rookie learns the ropes in year 1.
Too early. Sanchez will be the starter. Tebow may even go undrafted or very late to the guy who takes Sanchez.
Robert Meachem is a good sleeper. He is now with San Diego and Vincent Jackson is gone. Meachem will have more consistent opportunities in San Diego and could be a great breakout player.
