Super Sleepers Update – 2009 Fantasy Football

We are two weeks into the 2009 fantasy football season and there are a number of very interesting fantasy players that are starting to emerge. Here is a group of super sleepers who could burst onto the scene at some point during the fantasy football season in 2009.

QB Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns
Starter Brady Quinn doesn’t have too tight of a grip on the starting quarterback job in Cleveland. If he doesn’t start playing better, Derek Anderson will get the job. And as we saw a couple of seasons ago, Anderson is definitely capable of being a fantasy beast.

WR Johnny Knox, Chicago Bears
This rookie is really looking good for the Bears. While it is difficult to imagine him keeping up this pace, he has a chance of ending up as the best receiver on the Bears.

RB Justin Forsett, Seattle Seahawks
Although he’s small and although there is a lot of competition in Seattle, Justin Forsett is making enough noise to take notice. He’s a do-it-all RB who could find himself playing a larger role if the running backs above him don’t start producing on a consistent basis.

TE Jerramy Stevens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jerramy Stevens has looked good and he has the talent to be a producer in fantasy football. If the Bucs keep passing it a lot, consider Stevens as a quality filler.
