so all the guys you grab in rounds 5-12+. these are some I came up with:
QBS:
Gus Frerotte MIA - Linehan+ Frerotte+Chambers+McMicheal=tds
Drew Bledsoe DAL -did anyone evn know he went to Dallas?
Kyler Boller BAL -should improve alot with his secoond year under Fassel
HBS
Larry Johnson KC -Priest is almost out of prayers
Travis Henry TBD - depending on where he goes he has alot to prove.
William Green CLE -even Bronco fans know Droughns isn't this good.
WRS
Darius Watts -obvious choice
Keary Colbert -Steve Smith coming off an injury and Muhammed gone to CHI
Travis Taylor MIN -Could be a solid #2 behind Burleson.
the rest of the crap:
Chris Cooley should have another good year in Washington, I also like Doug Jolley NYJ, and Jerramy Stevens SEA to finally breakthrough.
Kickers I like Ola Kimmerin TEN, I watched him kick a 65 YARDER @ INVESCO in preseason a couple years back, course that dont count for the record books. and Josh Scobee JAX, is decent. Defensive sleepers, Jets, Rams and Seahawks.

Good List!
But Lee Evans isnt that much of a sleeper. He went over 1,000 kast year if im not mistaken.

He had 843 yards and 9 Tds so yeah I guess he's not really a sleeper but I don't think a lot of people have him to high in their rankings but I could be wrong.

Yea thats because he had Roy Williams to take up the rooke WR spotlight. I think the word for it is underrated. But still a good list.

We'll have our sleepers posted to PIGSKINSANITY some time in July, but here are some guys to keep your eye on...
QBs
*Harrington - not a #1 option yet, and this is likely his last year to show it.
*Boller - same deal as Harrington.
*Roethlisberger - not a big fantasy points producer in 2004, but word is they are opening up the offense more this season. Should be intersting.
*Warner - if they can keep him upright, they could have a tight offense with Boldin, Fitzgerald, Johnson (believe that's his name, working off memory here) and Arrington/Shipp. Shouldn't be a starter, but decent bye week option if healthy.
RBs
*JJ Arrington - he'll rise up draft rankings the next few months, but likely a R3-R4 talent that could rush for 1,200 yds and 10-12 TDs.
*Deshaun Foster - appears to be healthy and if so, should win the starting job. Likely will fall to R4 due to injury, but could produce big ... if he's healthy.
*Lamont Jordan - not sure where he'll fall when it's all said and done, but many will pass on him until R4 or so simply b/c he has no sustained track record. Two words - 'Norv Turner'. Jordan should do really well.
*Maurice Morris - SEA, if they do trade Alexander and don't bring in another proven veteran, Morris could really surprise
WRs
*Colbert in Carolina should rock if Smith is healthy
*Taylor or Williamson in MIN
*David Terrell in NE, no NE WR will be an "every week" phenom, but a change of scenery and getting back with Brady could make him a 700 yd / 6TD guy.
*Sammie Parker in KC - nothing but upside for him as long as he gets the shot to really compete for that #2 spot, only thing is RB and TE have historically been the #1 and #2 receivers for KC
*Michael Jenkins in ATL, this guy is going to have a shot to compete for a starting role and he's got great skills, if Vick is ever going to be the fantasy QB that many desire, a guy like Jenkins has to step up
*Jurevicius / Pathon in SEA, with Koren out... one of these two, I'm thinking Jurevicius will step up in that passing game.
That's all I have for now...

interesting situation in Seattle, KRob gone and Darrell Jackson missing workouts. Jerramy Sevens will get a chance to catch alot of balls, Itula Milli looks good too. Maybe seattle is looking to add a WR in return for Shaun Alexander.... hmmmmm T.O. in a seahawk uniform???
Shaun Alexander in Philly???
I could see that one happening.

I dunno - I just see TO staying put. Eagles just signed Westbrook and I don't even know what type of cap hit a trade of TO might have on Philly.

your prolly right there. TO joining the eagles, but what if they dont want his ass?
But looking at Seattle's future the wideout is a position they should, would add another guy, and Alexander is the trade bait.

I recommend you get a Denver back, even if it's Cecil Sapp. You never know with our system.
Other sleepers consist of: Reggie Brown PHI, Joey Harrington DET, Kyle Boller BAL, Vincent Jackson SD, and Jarret Payton TEN.

Thing with Denver is the likes of Bell, Anderson, Clarett will all be drafted.. hell someone might take Q. I don't know about Dayne just yet, but I know one thing is for sure... I am avoiding any and all Denver and Vikings' RBs in the draft.

haha yea i remember bell, griffen, anderson, and hearst were all off the board before the 6th round in the league i was in luckly i follow the broncs so i picked up droughns real quick when i knew he was starting.

I am hesitant to take a Denver back simply based on the uncertainty of the starter.
I like Palmer and Plummer as sleepers at QB.
I like Cedric Benson at RB - especially in a a keeper league.
I like Heath Miller at TE - again, especially in a keeper league.
I think Lelie will be a pretty good WR, and I am looking to get David Terrell late - he is a 1st round talent and had great success at UM with a certain QB...

Hey, you guys on this thread should join the free league I am starting.

Unless Tatum falls to me in the fourth, highly unlikely in a 12 team league, or m Bennett falls to me in the 6th, again highly unlikely, there is no way i will pick a bronco or minnesota RB.

Minn. RB Moe Williams is good around the goal line, he'd likely be around 7,8,9.
kind of the forgotten guy. basically our version of Mike Anderson.
