My addiction has hit a new record high, as I am currently in 9 different Fantasy Leagues, counting Baseball and Hockey, and that number will hit 11 after the Rawlco and Mazzei hockey drafts. So I have a problem, but that's not why were here (If we wanted to talk about all my problems, we could be here for a LONG ass time!).
The best Fantasy high you can get, is finding that breakout guy, right before they reach super stardom, for me, my first was Eddie George, last year, it was Austin Miles, Jamaal Charles, and Brent Celek. So I thought I would give you my sleeper picks for this years Fantasy season................ Ladies and Gentleman, I give to you, "Gary's Super Awesome List Of Fantasy Football Sleepers That Will Win You Lots Of MONEY.................. BIG TIME!!!"
Alright, this list is basically like the Madden Curse, that's how my luck with this stuff goes....... so if you already have any of these guys, I apologize ahead of time.
I decided that my picks wouldn't be enough, so I brought in a round table of guys that are way smarter than me, to give this girl some street cred.
Gerald Bauman yelling at me for being to sexy! |
Gary's Picks:
CJ Spiller - I like this guy alot, and he is going to get a lot of touches to start the season, thanks to suspensions (Marshawn Lynch), and injuries (Fred Jackson). He's a speedster, in the make of a Chris Johnson type, and we all know how he turned out.
Darius Heyward-Bay - Alright, before you guys all start yelling at the top of your lungs about how stupid and moronic I am, here me out. He has a new QB with experience in Jason Campbell, and all the talk is, that he will be starting, so he will get the looks, and that speed baby, the kid is faster than me, sneaking out of the room after realizing the big girl is asleep.
Braylon Edwards - I gotta take a Michigan guy right???? My boy got shipped out of Cleveland mid way through the season last year, and had to learn the offence on the fly, which obviously made it hard to adjust. He spent all summer learning the offence, and just like me with the Flamingos, he is ripe for a comeback player of the year award.
Gotta love the Maize and Blue! |
Sleeper pick Number 1
A combination of Washington Redskins Running Backs!
Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson, Willie Parker
sleeper - Larry Johnson - not much of a sleeper but I think he will have a year similar to what Ricky Williams did last year. This may imply a Portis injury, not at all. Portis will play the year with a lingering minor ankle injury and still be the horse. Willie will be the "change of pace" back and be productive. Larry will get a ton of 3rd down situation touches, he's gonna score and he's gonna pick up some yards - compare to Brandon Jacobs of NYG.
prediction - 866 yards rushing - 9 TD's - 90 yards receiving - 1 TD
Sleeper pick Number 2
Hakeem Nicks - ok still not much of a Sleeper - but i am boldly predicting this #3 WR for the NYG to lead the Giants in receiving TD's with 9. And be 2nd in receiving yards to Smith with 900
prediction - 900 yards receiving - 8 TD's - 16 yards rushing
Sleeper pick Number 3
Justin Forsett - ? for the Seattle Seahawks starting runningback has turned into Forsett as the answer. There will still be a committee approach however this guy will have a break out year.
prediction - 1060 yards rushing - 7 TD's - 450 yards receiving - 2 TD's
Sleeper pick Number 4
Donald Brown - After Addai suffers from the fumbly jumblies over the first 3 games of the year. The Colts will find themselves in a committee situation
prediction - 683 yards rushing - 5 TD's - 200 receiving - 1 TD
Blogatron likes this guy? Sounds good.... I guess. |
What about his brother, The President of Bloganomics:
Not Really a sleeper, but underrated QB:
Joe Flacco Ravens. These aren't your Trent Dilfer Defense Ravens anymore. The offense is stacked. With Bolding, Mason, Stallworth and Clayton as your top for wideouts, they don't have the number 1 deep threat, but they are as deep or deeper than any other team with that top four. Add in that Ray Rice is a premier receiving RB and look for old Flacco to have a good fantasy year. He can still be had in the 5th and 6th rounds, and is ranked around 10th for Qb's. Good value.
Pierre Garcon, Colts WR,
Again not a huge sleeper, but he is still being taken in the later rounds in most drafts. He is option number 2 for what has been the most consistent offense in the past 10 years. In Peyton we trust. If you want Reggie Wayne, but miss him, wait a couple rounds and take Garcon, the Haitian Hero.
Legendu Naganee, Chargers WR,
Philip Rivers is still good. He has to throw to someone, doesn't he? Look for Naganee to break out this year for about 600 yards. Save for very late in drafts, and only in deep leagues.
LaDanian Thomlinson, Jets RB
The Jets don't throw, they just run. Sure Shonn Greene is going to get most of the carries. But the Jets ran the ball more than anyone last year by a large margin. Thomlinson will get his touches, his yard and his scores.
Owen Daniels, Texans, TE
If he is healthy, then he's ready to go. Don't waste a pick on the top TE's this year. There isn't much difference. Pick up an extra WR or RB and take Daniels late.
Is this really even a sleeper? The guy is bricks baby, just look at that stiff arm! |
How about some douchey-ness to end this week's blog:
Leave it to a Jonas brother to secure another stereo type. |
The party is always going on over here!
Sweet blog Gary, love the Baby Spice shoutout. Just watched The Big Lebowski, you are so "The Dude"!! White Russian
ReplyDeleteWow, these are some of the absolute worst picks I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteBraylon Edwards? That has to be a joke, right? He plays the exact same role as Holmes, just not as good. So that basically means when Santonio comes back, he'll be what, option three in a run first system? Fuck you're stupid Nickel.
Justin Forsett: Too stupid to even discuss.
Hakeem Nicks: Well you're right about one thing, he'll have a huge year. But he's not the WR #3 there anymore, he's actually 1. Check the Giants official depth chart you goddamn inbred.
Sincerely,
Jeff Thiessen
Dear Gary,
ReplyDeleteDo not ask the Maestro of Bloganomics for assistance with Fantasy football. Baseball, sure; Hockey, definitely. Football...never. Jeff T agrees.
Sincerly,
Captain Rhino
Thanks for the shout out brother. Your sleeper picks are pretty brutal. Heyward-Bay? C'mon man! Pretty wishful thinking with Braylen too my friend! If you need some help next year, I'm here for you.
ReplyDeleteYour boy,
Big C
