I'm not sure he's a sleeper, but since I drafted him, I'm expecting BIG things from Brandon Marshall. The obvious:
1. Back with Jay Cutler.
2. Not much pass catching competition.
3. Has a running game, Forte/Bush, to take the pressure off.
4. Only worry is off the field.

Rashard Mendenhall

He's going in the 8th-10th round of most drafts, he may not play the first half of the year at all, but you can grab a guy in a bench spot round that could end up as a top 3 round talent in the back half of the season when you have to replace someone due to injury.
I picked him up in waivers after the draft was over and now it looks like he could see some playing time as early as week 1. I'm really hoping I got a steal on this one. He went undrafted in a 12 team league.

Damnit! Beat me to it!!

I thought this last night, and Gambo just mentioned it -- wasn't there a character in the Bad News Bears named Ogeltree or something very close to it?

Alshon Jeffrey, WR, Chicago.
Ryan Williams, RB, Arizona.
I'm with Mulli on Greg Olsen.

I don't know if this counts as a "sleeper," but Jay Cutler is getting really undervalued in 10- and 12-team leagues. He got drafted with the 1st pick in the 9th round of my last fantasy draft (10 teams). Would anyone be surprised if he put up as many points as Tony Romo? Why would he be taken 2 rounds later?

No one in the NFC North plays pass defense besides Chicago, and Cutler doesn't have to play them.

Too many interceptions maybe? The Bears reputation as a running team?

Than Tony Romo? :confused:
He's more of a risk than Romo, IMO. I like Cutler this year, but if I wanted more of a sure thing at QB, I'd go Romo.

Cutler is a bit of a gamble, IMO. You don't know what Tice is going to run. Yes, he has Cutler, Marshal and Jefferies...but he also has Forte and Bush (who both want 1000 yards this season and will boith get their touches).

That said, I LOVE Marshal this year and I really like Cutler's upside. In my main league I drafted Romo and was hoping to get Cutler two rounds later but he went a couple picks ahead of me.

Ok so for those of you who consider yourselves a Fantasy smart one. Name your sleeper for this year,only one and why?

Mine is Shonne Green of the NY Jets, why?
No RB competition..well not really. He has no Thomas Jones or LT.
Better Oline than advertised.
Contract year, look at what Lynch did last year.
Tony Sporano, his new OC loves to run the ball and rejuvinated/ resurrected Reggie Bush last year.

Bilal Powell will be the better fantasy RB this year than Green.

Randall Cobb

Jennings will miss time this year and Cobb will put up Jordy Nelson numbers.

In a keeper league, it is even larger since Jennings won't be back next year.

I dont really have too many sleepers this year for some reason.

Austin Collie could be one, in PPR leagues i wouldnt be surprised if he finishes better than Wayne.

Coby Fleener as well. I put him in the same league as a Fred Davis

Jacob Tamme - hes got that other TE in front of him from Houston for some reason but he had a ton of success with Peyton when Clark was out a couple years ago. I wouldnt be surprised to see him as a top 5 TE the second half of the season.

Ryan Williams - only Card i would draft relative to their draft position. If Beanie goes down )knock on wood), he could be a top 8-10 RB i think.

DeAnglo/Jstew - i think this could be the year one of them runs away with the job due to the others injury. I took a flier on DeAnglo in a late round.

Kenny Britt - dude is really underrated. Locker will let it fly and other than the Rookie, Britt is the only talented reciever they have. He was a beast last year before he went down. I rolled the dice on him and i have him as my #2 receiver in both of my leagues
