Ok so for those of you who consider yourselves a Fantasy smart one. Name your sleeper for this year,only one and why?

Mine is Shonne Green of the NY Jets, why?
No RB competition..well not really. He has no Thomas Jones or LT.
Better Oline than advertised.
Contract year, look at what Lynch did last year.
Tony Sporano, his new OC loves to run the ball and rejuvinated/ resurrected Reggie Bush last year.

Alshon Jeffrey, WR, Chicago.
Ryan Williams, RB, Arizona.
I'm with Mulli on Greg Olsen.

I don't know if this counts as a "sleeper," but Jay Cutler is getting really undervalued in 10- and 12-team leagues. He got drafted with the 1st pick in the 9th round of my last fantasy draft (10 teams). Would anyone be surprised if he put up as many points as Tony Romo? Why would he be taken 2 rounds later?

No one in the NFC North plays pass defense besides Chicago, and Cutler doesn't have to play them.

I have Ryan Williams on both my fantasy teams and both were autodrafted.

I have Coby Fleener as a sleeper too. Probably a bad team, not great WR talent, and a rookie QB who's probably going to tend to rely on his college teammate.

Totally agree w/ Cutler, I also got him in the 9th round in a 12 team league, short benches so most only carry 1 QB. I was very excited to get him. I also like Kyle Rudolph @ TE for the Vikings.

If I still played FF Cutler would be my choice. There are always good to decent QBs available in the mid rounds. As much as I don't like Cutler I think he will put up solid FF numbers this year.

I wanted to wait for a Cutler, but I ended up with Cam Newton.

Roy Helu, RB, Redskins.
Eric Decker, WR, Broncos.

And some receiver is going to get a lot of passes thrown his way for Houston, my guess would be Posey.

I love Kyle Rudolph for the reasons that Russ loves Colby Fleener, but I think that the extra year in the NFL (kinda) will help Rudolph, and I think that Ponder has fewer weapons to get the ball to in Minnesota.

Jaquizz Rodgers is deep leagues or keeper leagues.

Eric Decker, though I don't view him as a sleeper.

Greg Olsen.

BJGE.

Doug Martin.

Ryan Williams.

Randall Cobb (see Quiz Rodgers)

AJ Jenkins

Torrey Smith

I could go on and on

He's not as much of a sleeper at this point as he was a few weeks ago, but he's the real deal.

I got Alex Smith deep in my draft. I think between Moss, Manningham, Crabtree, Davis, and Gore/Jacobs coming out of the backfield, he's got too many targets to not succeed...

Undervalued:
Lawfirm
Antonio Brown
(and to an extent) Brandon Marshal - I think he could be top-3 this year.

True Sleeper:
Bilal Powell - I think this is the year the Jets realize Greene is garbage and they go with this kid by the mid-point and he lights it up.

I got Hillis in the 6th.


SUPER SUPER sleeper te Kellen Davis. Mike Tice took over the Bears offense and will be throwing to the TE much more. Plus I got him in the 16th round.

I also agree with Torrey Smith. Got him in the 7th.

I agree with Cutler. However I live near Chicago so he went a lot earlier than in most other places. He didn't make it out of the 5th round.

If you're in a ppr league, take Amendola in the later rounds. He can be the Rams Wes Welker.

Rod Streater OAK..the dude catches everything and Palmer looks to him withou fail when he needs a play. Undrafted and you can pick him up as a last pick in a deep league...at least put him on your watch list...

Dude is the next Keenan McCardell.

Bally’s Sports needs to go away
Darius Heyward-Bey.

He had almost 1000 yards and 6 TDs last year, in a "breakout" year. He finally has a QB and it looks like his lightbulb went on. With that speed, he could be a big play threat every game.

Evan Royster

Forget Roy Helu, he lost the starting job to Royster, and we know what Helu will give us. Royster has a chance to be a very late round starter, or free agent you can grab now, who might earn time in your starting line up.

Rashard Mendenhall

He's going in the 8th-10th round of most drafts, he may not play the first half of the year at all, but you can grab a guy in a bench spot round that could end up as a top 3 round talent in the back half of the season when you have to replace someone due to injury.

Kevin Smith

The Lions don't have anyone else, really, to compete. They will run some and someone has to get the carries. The walking concussion probably won't play again, so look for Kevin Smith to have a solid year.

how can Kolb possibly be on our bench and the Lions runningback?

He had a great preseason. Depends how healthy all their other WR's are too they missed a ton of preseason action so Streater got a head start.
