Fantasy Football Sleepers – Week 6

Stephen Kersey — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:55:57 +0000

With most fantasy football leagues almost reaching the halfway point of their regular season, it’s time to get down to business and start racking up the wins. Here are some fantasy football sleepers that can help you in Week 6 and beyond.

QB Marc Bulger, St. Louis Rams
Last week, Marc Bulger looked solid in limited action. In Week 6, he’s going against the inept defense of the Jaguars. Expect a good outing from Bulger.

RB Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs
One of these weeks, Jamaal Charles is going to leapfrog the struggling Larry Johnson. Going against the Redskins in Week 6, Charles should be able to produce — if given the chance.

WR Mohamed Massaquoi, Cleveland Browns
Don’t give up on Mohamed Massaquoi just yet. With Braylon Edwards out of town, Massaquoi could very well be the Browns top receiving option. Even though he had only one catch last week, he could still become a fantasy football starter.

TE Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers
The last we saw of Jermichael Finley, he was tearing it up. After the bye week, the Packers could very well look for him even more. Going up against the Lions, start him with confidence.

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

After Week 2 of the 2009 fantasy football season, we have located a few waiver wire pickups that can help your team starting in Week 3. Getting a good player off of the waiver wire can turn around your season. Here are our Week 3 waiver wire pickups.

QB Trent Edwards, Buffalo Bills
In two straight outing, Trent Edwards has produced at a very even level. Given his strong wide receivers and quality running backs, there’s no reason why Edwards won’t keep producing.

WR Mario Manningham and Steve Smith, New York Giants
Both of these Giants wide receivers are worthy of being on your fantasy football team. Mario Manningham is a big play receiver, while Smith is a quality possession WR. Pick them up ASAP.

RB Felix Jones, Dallas Cowboys
Not only did Felix Jones play very well in Week 2 (96 yards on only 7 carries), it appeared as if Marion Barber got hurt. If Jones is the starter, he could put up exciting fantasy football numbers.

TE Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers
After a very quiet Week 1 performance, Jermichael Finley was a bit louder in Week 2. However, he should be available on your waiver wire and if you need a sleeper tight end, roll the dice with him.

Super Sleepers in Fantasy Football 2009

Stephen Kersey — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:59:11 +0000

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.

2008 NFL Draft – Tight End Prospects

admin — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 08:11:30 +0000

1. Fred Davis, USC
A possible first round draft pick, Davis is arguably the best tight end prospect in the 2008 NFL Draft. He’s athletic and quick with good speed, although he could afford to get a big stronger.

2. Martin Rucker, Missouri
Rucker isn’t very big nor is he very fast but he’s a very solid football player. He’s the type of player who can come up with the big catch when it’s needed most. He’ll need to get stronger to truly flourish in the NFL, though.

3. John Carlson, Notre Dame
Notre Dame had a disastrous season last year, Carlson was one of the few bright spots. He’s a very heady tight end with good athleticism who would be a safe pick in the draft. His stock could rise depending on his combine results.

4. Martellus Bennett, Texas A&M
Bennett has great size at over 6-foot-7 and 252 pounds. His combination of size and athleticism gives him the chance to be as good as anyone on this list. Keep an eye on him as he could start climbing the draft charts.

5. Jermichael Finley, Texas
Finley has a huge amount of talent but was mysteriously underutilized at the University of Texas. Perhaps some of that was his fault but the offense didn’t seem geared to getting him the ball. However, some team in the NFL will take a chance on him.
