QB Sleepers- Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers and Jason Campbell

RB Sleepers- Mendenhall, Ryan Grant, and Kevin Jones

WR Sleepers- Lee Evans, Hines Ward, and Vincent Jackson

I realize guys like Grant, Evans, and Ward aren't exactly sleepers, but they are guys that aren't getting talked about much and could provide huge production. Ward is usually a steal in the round he gets drafted.

As bad as the Bears WR's are, it could be a breakout season for Greg Olson. Someone to stash with a late round pick.

Good pick, I like Olsen a lot. The only problem is they really don't have any other threat so Olsen could be the focus point of the defense.

I agree OTK, I think Jason Campbell is going to have a breakout year. Call me a homer, but I also think Nate Burleson is going to have a good year for the Hawks.

I totally agree with Nate Burleson.

I think Chris Brown cud have some good weeks for the Texans, once Ahman gets hurt on the first drive of the season.

Robert Meachum will be the #1 receiver in NO by week 5. Easy pick as the top sleeper in football this year. This kid is gonna catch 90+ balls and put up double digit TDs.

Colston is number 1 but I definetly think Robert Meachum will slide into the number 2 wideout very early in the season. The kid is nasty and they say he worked his ass off this off season to prepare too. I would say he will not even be drafted in some drafts so their is definetly value with this kid in the late rounds of the draft.

As for my sleeper I'm am going with Ray Rice. He is getting raved about in camp. Already looking to slide in as a 3rd down back. He plays behind Mc Gahee who could go down at any time. I really like Rice to put up solid numbers for a rookie esp. when Willis goes down and he takes on the full load. If you plan on drafting Mc Gahee I would definetly plan on taking Rice in one of the later rounds.

RB - Chris Johnson (Titans)

Rookie with amazing speed will be a nice combo with Lendale White.

meachem will probably be a #3 fantasy wideout or better by the end of the year, im waiting till after his game tomarrow to pick him up to see if he continues to produce, the thing about mcfadden is i dont see a scenario where he gets all the carries and even so, peterson had the vikings line, mcfadden has oaklands...

What about Ted Ginn, especially if your in a keeper league. I see he is available in both keeper leagues I'm in. Having a vet QB like Pennington there may help him quite a bit.

He's the kind of guy that will drive you crazy for fantasy football, kind of like Santana Moss or Antwan Randle El. He'll have weeks where he catches a few deep passes and might put up 130 yd, 2 TD's, but then the next week when you actually start him he'll have 2 catches for 19 yards. Because of their size they will have weeks where they do nothing as long as teams cover the deep pattern well all game and are ready for the quick screen passes. Because of their blazing speed though they will have huge weeks when a defender just can't keep up with them and when they play off them they can get easy yards with a screen pass.

They're great to have on your football team as an option, but I never like having them on my fantasy team.
