Take a appear at the 2010 season. Whoever drafted Peyton Hillis received a thousand-yard rusher for practically nothing at all. He possibly turned a so-so backfield into 1 of the bests. Nevertheless, the number one sleeper was Michael Vick. The Philadelphia quarterback started the season as Kevin Kolb’s backup, but, when Kolb when down with an injury, Vick took more than and never ever looked back.
The Sleepers
Grab the following players if you get a chance. Not several men and women are going to be interested in them, so they will go low-cost. Many of these players have been plagued by injuries in the previous, so try to handcuff yet another player to go with them.
1. Matthew Stafford (QB) Detroit – He’s had difficulty with injuries, but the Lions have been developing that offensive line to protect him. He’s a great low cost number one quarterback.
two. Jordy Nelson (WR) Green Bay - Aaron Rodgers will be throwing, so although opponents double team Greg Jennings, that keynote speaker will leave Nelson open for huge yards.
three. Lance Moore (WR) New Orleans - Drew Brees throws and it is about time 1 of his receivers will stand out. The Saints paid Moore huge money this year, so obviously they think he’s the a single.
4. Knowshon Moreno (RB) Denver - Plagued by injuries in the previous, this will be his year. Handcuff Willis McGahee later in the draft.
five. Mike Sim-Walker (WR) St. Louis - The Rams signed him to a efficiency contract and look for him to be productive in Sam Bradford’s breakout year.
6. Sam Bradford (QB) St. Louis -Breakout year! With Josh Daniels guiding the offense, Bradford is going to light it up!
7. James Starks (RB) Green Bay - I am not convinced that Ryan Grant is fully recovered from his injuries. If not, then Starks is the man. You saw what he did in the playoffs during their Super Bowl run.
8. Montario Hardesty (RB) Cleveland – Who? keynote speaker Keep in mind how Peyton Hillis came from nowhere last season? That was supposed to be Hardestry, but he injured himself in the preseason, opening the door for Hardestry.
9. Jimmy Graham (TE) New Orleans – The Saints released Jeremy Shockey due to the fact they think in Graham. Brees loves throwing to his tight ends.
10. Tim Hightower (RB) Washington – He has a fresh start off in Washington. Even although it may be a backfield by committee, Hightower has the receiving back locked up, but will do even more. He’s so talented. Handcuff Ryan Torian.
Look for sleepers at the end of the draft as effectively, even if you do not believe you’ll need them on your group. I mean if you already have Peyton Manning there is no want for a sleeper like Sam Bradford, right? Incorrect! Think trade bait for later on.
