Fantasy Football Sleepers Review

In early August, before preseason started, I nominated a fantasy sleeper (or two) for each team. Let's take a look back and see how I did.

 

Kansas City Chiefs: Priest Holmes. Well, he's playing now. And he'll probably start this week, but he'll share with Kolby Smith. The correct sleeper pick would have been Dwayne Bowe.

 

Buffalo Bills: Paul Posluszny. He won the MLB job and played well until he went on IR. Without the injury, this pick would be correct. Otherwise, I guess you'd have to say Trent Edwards.

 

Houston Texans: Owen Daniels. Pretty good pick, but both André Davis and Kevin Walter would have been better. Watch out for Adimchinobi Echemandu as well.

 

Atlanta Falcons: Joe Horn. Flat out bad pick here. He's old and done. The winner is clearly OLB Michael Boley. (On offense, it's Roddy White.)

 

Tennessee Titans: Brandon Jones. Well he sucks, but who else is there? LenWhale wasn't a sleeper. Chris Henry is good enough to win it for this team, I guess.

 

Minnesota Vikings: Sidney Rice. He has great potential, but he won't actualize it until next year, when a first-round QB is throwing to him. E.J. Henderson is the sleeper champ here.

 

Washington Redskins: Jason Campbell. He's doing ok. His WRs are terrible and they run all the time. The best sleeper on this team was Rocky McIntosh.

 

Cleveland Browns: Jerome Harrison. He's a good player who doesn't get enough playing time. But, obviously, the sleeper of the year in all of the NFL was Derek Anderson.

 

Miami Dolphins: David Martin. Well, he isn't Antonio Gates yet. Maybe next year. This team has lots of good sleepers: Ted Ginn Jr., Jesse Chatman, Cleo Lemon, and John Beck. Right now you have to give it to Chatman.

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Maurice Stovall. He doesn't suck, but he isn't producing. Earnest Graham and Barrett Ruud have been the guys here.

 

New York Giants: Steve Smith the Younger. Nope, he hasn't done anything. Derrick Ward is the clear winner.

 

Dallas Cowboys: Patrick Crayton. Yeah, you could call him the best sleeper on this team. Jason Witten and DeMarcus Ware aren't really sleepers.

 

Oakland Raiders: Zach Miller and Michael Bush. Miller has done little. Watch out for Bush next year. Jordan and Rhodes will be gone, and Son of Huggy Bear is a temporary solution. But, Son of Huggy Bear is also the sleeper champion here.

 

New York Jets: David Harris. I could have said Kellen Clemens or Leon Washington. But, if you've watched Harris in weeks 8 and 9, you know why I put him here. Clear winner.

 

San Francisco 49ers: Arnaz Battle. He is their best WR, but they are the worst offense in the league. Therefore, Patrick Willis wins.

 

Arizona Cardinals: Leonard Pope. They don't use him, even though he's a colossus. Kurt Warner or Karlos Dansby get the win here.

 

Detroit Lions: T.J. Duckett. Now that he's healthy, we'll see him some more as Jones's backup. Shaun McDonald is the best sleeper here.

 

Seattle Seahawks: D.J. Hackett. Good WR who's finally healthy. Bobby Engram is better.

 

St. Louis Rams: Brian Leonard. Well, he's the winner on this team, but that isn't saying much.

 

Green Bay Packers: Donald Lee. Great pick here. He is a starting TE in 12-team leagues. James Jones would be a good choice as well.

 

Cincinnati Bengals: Kenny Irons. Well, he got hurt, and allowed the other Kenny to step in for the worn down Rudi. Kenny Watson is awesome.

 

Philadelphia Eagles: Tony Hunt. He hasn't had a chance since preseason. Kevin Curtis is the only choice on this team.

 

Pittsburgh Steelers: Santonio Holmes. Well, he was kind of obvious. Najeh Davenport or Heath Miller could be considered the winner.

 

Carolina Panthers: Jeff King. Pretty good pick here. Jon Beason is better, though.

 

New Orleans Saints: Eric Johnson. He's ok. I'd say David Patten.

 

Baltimore Ravens: Demetrius Williams. He had a decent start while Clayton was gimpy. This offense is lame. It's either Williams or Quinn Sypniewski.

 

Chicago Bears: Adrian Peterson the Elder. He's better than Benson in every way, yet they are sticking with Benson. Brian Griese or Greg Olsen wins here.

 

San Diego Chargers: Michael Turner. Turner isn't used enough. The only other good sleeper here is Antonio Cromartie (WHAT A STUD!!).

 

Denver Broncos: D.J. Williams. He is doing ok at MLB. Selvin Young or Brandon Marshall are much better sleepers.

 

Indianapolis Colts: DeDe Dorsey and Freddie Keiaho. Cut and injured, dang. Dallas Clark wins if he counts as a sleeper. Otherwise, Marlin Jackson and Kelvin Hayden.

 

New England Patriots: Sammy Morris. He rocked before he got hurt. Belichick likes him more than he likes Maroney. (Remember that next season.) Wes Welker is the obvious pick here.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars: Marcedes Lewis. He's doing ok but is pretty disappointing. David Garrard is the best sleeper choice here.
