not the right forum, but will get more action here. who's your fantasy sleepers this year that you might be able to hold off on and snag in later rounds? seems like a lot of teams are using a 2rb set in the backfield. my draft is the 20th, i have no idea which direction to go. i lost a big jackpot league when it came down to urlacher making a tackle or two on the final drive of week 17, sickening.

CJ Spiller's making alot of coin to just be returning kicks. Now that they've brought in Brad Smith to return kicks and run some of the Wildcat I would think they'd look to give him alot more touches.

Marshawn Lynch, Cable coaching the OLine, they've added potentially the premier WR in the NFL and one of the top TE's in the game. Weapons that can only help open things up in the run game. Lynch is still very young and hitting his RB prime.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dez Bryant ends the year as the highest scoring WR.

Sims-Walker could be this years Brandon Lloyd with Josh McD calling the shots. You just know the Rams are going to put up some big offensive numbers.

Todd Heap in Arizona.....Celek always put up big numbers with Kolb at the helm. He doesn't have the best arm and likes to go to the tight end.

I like Roy Williams in Chicago, I think the guy has a rebirth. Just a few thoughts off the top of my head.

FWIW I would take Ray Rice with the number one pick and Jamal Charles second, both ahead of Foster, Peterson, and CJ

Yes I totally agree with Rice I think he will be the number 1 RB in the league HE is going 2 be a monster better than AP plus now he has a fullback blocking for him Leach the guy blocking for Foster last year be careful of him this year

'How many games exactly did Kolb and Celek actually play together?
Agree with Dez being good but no way he is top scoring with Jason Witten and Miles Austin eating up looks
Spiller has potential but that offense is so bad and Fred Jackson still will eat into carries

Love Dwayne Bowe and Boldin this year, as well as Welker and both TEs for Pats going late. Fred Davis could be decent too.

Welker is worthless in standard scoring and not a sleeper in PPR. There's a reason his nickname is "Slot Machine." Top 15 in PPR.

Love Gronk and Hernandez in NE but they severely limit the other.

Not sure how much of a sleeper Dwayne Bowe is after notching 15 TDs last season. Boldin is in decline mode but can certainly be a serviceable WR3.

CJ Spiller will do NOTHING again this season barring injury. He was extremely underwhelming last season as a runner and Fred Jackson has set himself apart as the clear starter.

I love Ray Rice as much as the next guy, but the question marks surrounding if he hits pay dirt or not is worrisome. The Ravens don't seem to trust him at the goal line, they brought in another TD vulture in Ricky Williams, where as AP, Arian, and CJ have ZERO competition for 5 yard TDs. That said, would not surprise me to see him finish top 3, but also finish in the 7-10 range.

Sims-Walker's health is a huge question mark. His durability sucks. I'd rather have Amendola.

Jared Cook TE, Jacoby Ford WR, Shonn Green RB, Felix Jones RB, Matt Stafford QB, Brandon Pettigrew TE, Mario Manningham WR.

I draft 6th in a 12 man league.

Who are you looking to land if in the middle ZJP?

you know, i honestly have no idea at all. i'm eager to see what backs will be taken in the first few picks. if it comes down to it i might take an early shot at vick if all of the top-tier backs are gone, just because he was a fantasy monster last year and has the weapons to be big again. then again, i couldn't imagine he'd be around. i'm also playing a 12-man league and hoping for maybe 4th or 5th pick. who are you hoping to grab, hache?

do you realize how hard/impossible it is to read your posts when you have that avatar? one eye was on her and one was on your post... but i agree on all your points and like all your sleepers, love greene he will get a TON of carries, love pettigrew and i think manningham will finish top 10 this year for WR
