Late in fantasy football drafts, it can get boring. But if you target a few super sleepers, your fantasy draft can produce gold for your team when everyone else is taking their second kicker. Here’s a look at super sleepers for the 2009 fantasy football season.
QB Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers
Though he hasn’t looked great in preseason, Shaun Hill has shown very good ability in the last two years. In 12 games for the 49ers, he has 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions. It wouldn’t be surprising if he had more than 20 touchdowns in 2009.
RB Edgerrin James, Seattle Seahawks
Currently, Julius Jones is the starter for the Seahawks. But it’s very conceivable for Edgerrin James to eventually win the starting running back gig. If he does, he’s a serviceable fantasy football option.
WR Earl Bennett, Chicago Bears
With Jay Cutler in Chicago, you know they will be throwing the ball a lot. With no clear cut number one wide receiver, it would be smart to gamble on Bennett. He was Cutler’s teammate at Vanderbilt and the two seem to have good chemistry.
TE Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers
Jermichael Finley has been very good in the preseason. There’s a chance that he becomes the starting tight end in Green Bay — and if he does, he has fantasy football talent oozing from his green uniform.
