Fantasy Football Sleepers


As fantasy drafts are starting it is popular to get a heads up on the competiton by finding sleepers. Late Round picks that could turn into big time players for your fantasy team. This happened to me as I picked up both Frank Gore and Maurice Jones-Drew on the waiver wire. Here are my sleepers.


QB: Matt Leinart Cardinals: Leinart did ok last year but now with a full year under his belt and with receivers like Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald he should have a great season. Expect between 3200 yards and 20 touchdowns.


RB: Vernand Morency Packers: With Ahman Green gone Vernand is now the frontrunner to take over the job. He has shown signs of potential but be careful because rookie Brandon Jackson should get lots of carries also. Expect between 1100 yards and 7 touchdowns. WR:


Santonio Holmes Steelers: Santonio put together a great stretch of games to end the season as he showcased he has potential to be a pro bowl calibar receiver in the league now that Ben Rothlisberger is healthy expect around 1000 yards and 6 touchdowns.


TE: Vernon Davis 49ers: Vernon is a physical freak who can outrun cornerbacks and run over linebackers. He was injured for a good chunk of last year but with Alex Smith maturing Davis should have a breakout year. Expect between 700 yards and 8 touchdowns.
