Week three of the NFL preseason is over so fantasy football draft time is heating up big time. Since I am a genius (here is my 09 sleeper/bust post) and clearly smarter than all I will give you my fantasy football sleepers and busts:
Sleepers
Arian Foster RB Houston Texans
Looks to be locking up the #1 RB spot and is getting drafted in the 60's on ESPN
Toby Gerhart RB Minnesota Vikings
No more Chester Taylor, Peterson has issues, Gerhart is going to score TDs he's going in the 150's.
Carson Palmer QB Cincinnati Bengals
Bengals have the two receivers and Gresham looks good at TE. He's available at 100
LeSean McCoy RB Philadelphia Eagles
Contemplating putting him as a bust but there is no one behind him and he is available in the 3rd round.
Jahvid Best RB Detroit Lions
Bad team but could be a good second or third running back, Lions might not be that bad either. Plus he was drafted in the first round of the real draft, he'll get the ball.
Julian Edelman WR New England Patriots
Take a late flyer on the dude. Who knows how good Welker will be and the Patriots still have one or two good years left with Brady.
Johnny Knox WR Chicago Bears
Cutler will be slinging the ball and someone needs to catch it. Knox will be there around 100. Five touchdowns his rookie year too.
Jermaine Gresham TE Cincinnati Bengals
Looked big and good against the Bills Saturday. Missed most of last year at Oklahoma, I smell value in the 12o's.
Fantasy Busts
All Arizona Cardinal WRs
Leinart sucks and Derek freaking Anderson might start, yikes. AZ had a two year run.
Ryan Grant RB Green Bay Packers
The team is too pass happy, people are falling in love with Brandon Jackson
Joseph Addai RB Indianapolis Colts
Probably would have been on this list before the concussion. I like the kid from UConn Donald Brown and he'll get touches.
San Diego Defense
Lost Cromartie and Jamal Williams, Merriman still is off the juice (probably) and has a sore Achilles.
Brandon Jacobs RB New York Giants
Looks like a classic RB by committee. He'll get touchdowns but he is on the downside of his career already.
Matt Schaub QB Houston Texans
I don't buy the hype. They played pretty well last year but their #2 WR is Kevin Walter or Andre Davis. Oh and don't forget about this debacle from 2009.
LeSean McCoy is not Brian Westbrook 2.0
ReplyDeleteFantasy bust K.C. Chief rb not named Dexter McCluster. Anybody on the NY Jets offense will not have #'s.
ReplyDeleteSleeper: Legaduu Nannee, who are the Chargers going to throw to? Also Chris Wells should get the carries in 'Zona. Tim Hightower should be cut.
