If you want a fantasy football super sleeper for 2008, look at Sam Aiken. The New England Patriots signed Aiken away from the Buffalo Bills early on in the free agency period. Aiken, a wide receiver, will likely be mostly a special teams player for the Patriots.
However, with the departure of Donte Stallworth to the Cleveland Browns, the Patriots have some snaps at wide receiver available. Jabar Gaffney will get a lot of those snaps but Aiken could also find his way into the mix.
Watch the 2008 preseason closely to see how much time the Patriots give Aiken at wide receiver. Even if he is a fourth stringer to begin the season, he’d still have a good amount of fantasy football potential. One injury and all of a sudden Aiken could be getting passes thrown his way.
For now, take a wait and see approach with Aiken but don’t be afraid to draft him late if you see potential.
