sleeper picks
QB: Jason Campbell RAIDERS… as long as the line can hold up, they have a good running game and this will help
RB: Tim Hightower REDSKINS… with John Beck as quarterback they will need to run the ball a lot
WR: Harry Douglas FALCONS… with Julio Jones and Roddy White taking a lot of attention, he will be a great slot receiver and get a lot of balls (no homo)
TE: Ben Watson BROWNS… Colt Mccoy will need to throw it quick and the browns have no good receivers besides cribbs
DEF: Cowboys as long as the secondary steps up
Kicker: Jason Hanson LIONS… he has always been a great kicker and the lions could have problems scoring because of there running back depth
Who the hell are in your leagues? lol having the 7th pick and getting Charles?? Then to add on Turner and Fitz in the next two rounds, your league members must be slow. Charles is a top 4 pick, Turner is in the 7-12 range, and Fitz is always a top 20 pick. You should be in the championship game in both leagues.
Both my leagues have owners who put an emphasis on qb's thus rb's fell to me. I personally always take qb's later. It might end up hurting my with eli starting in one of the leagues. But no question i like my chances in both leagues.
and some of my sleepers are: hightower and the te from tennessee. I also like stafford to emerge as a top 12 qb and laggarette blount to become a top 10 rb
I'm in a 16 teamer where I had Leshoure as my #2 RB which hurts especially because my three four and five are Ronnie Brown, Stevan Ridley, and Jason Snelling.
I shouldve picked one more solid runner but last year my problem was at QB and WR so I wanted to shore that up. My runners last year in this league were Gore, Mcfadden, and Portis.
a 16 team league is tough. I noticed a pretty significant talent drop off just going from 10 teams to 12.
Im really looking forward to both my league. My 12 teamer we did last year as well and we all get together every sunday(or at least most of us) and bbq and watch the redzone. My 10 teamer is at work where i get to run my mouth all day. Plus it is the first time i have ever done a head to head league which seems interesting.
Just finished my draft in my 10 team league. Ended up with the last pick in the first round and ended with what I think on paper is the best team in the league.

RB Maurice Jones-Drew
